‘Q&A with Karen Cinnamon’ – a return interview with the Save The Date wedding podcast

20/02/2015 by Karen

Karen-Cinnamon
I had so much fun when I was interviewed last  December for the Save The Date Podcast that I jumped at the chance to meet  Aleisha, the head honcho of  Save The Date, for a sequel.

Aleisha came to  my London home last week to record a special Wedding Q&A episode and I answered everything ranging from  what’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen at a wedding, to my favourite affordable wedding dress designers, to helping a Jew-ish bride-to-be who felt under pressure from her mother to include too many Jewish traditions in her upcoming wedding.

You can listen to the podcast here or here, or by pressing the play button below.  I hope you find it useful and if you’d like me to answer any  other questions, feel free to leave a comment below, or email me at karen@smashingtheglass.com

Thanks for having me Aleisha!

‘Meet The Blogger’ – my interview for the Save The Date wedding podcast

08/12/2014 by Karen

Karen-Cinnamon-interview
Last week I was interviewed by  Aleisha from the  Save The Date Wedding Podcast  and it was so much  fun!  We laughed a lot whilst discussing everything from how to avoid a ‘cookie cutter’ Jewish wedding-by-numbers, to planning a fabulous Jewish (or Jew-ish!) wedding on a budget, to tailoring traditions to your tastes and beliefs and so much more. There’s also snippets from Charlotte York’s Sex and the City Jewish journey,  some  very unusual versions of Hava Nagila, and  lots more goodies.

If you’d like to listen to it, you can do so here  or here.

And yes, that is me pregnant in the picture above! It was taken last week by the phenomenal Laura Babb, and I’ll be reporting on that shoot very soon.

I hope you enjoy the podcast – let me know your thoughts! And  thanks so much for having me Aleisha!
