A Yoav Rich Bride for a Liberal Jewish Wedding at Hamam, Old Jaffa, Israel

25/09/2017 by Karen

Anyone who’s had the good fortune to visit Old Jaffa knows what a spine-tinglingly special place it is. Steeped in history, spirituality and an inexplicable atmosphere, fostered by its ancient stone streets and walls and its stunning views over the sea and Tel Aviv, Old Jaffa is a place like no other. If you haven’t been – go! And if that’s not realistic at this moment in time, never fear. Cà©line and Oliver’s liberal Jewish wedding day will transport you there.

The happy couple chose to honor their surroundings with their wedding aesthetic and color scheme, in blues and whites with accents of yellow. The cohesive theme was created by wonderful wedding planner Miss Dandelion Events & Design, who not only designed every detail, but brought together a team of formidable vendors to bring everything to life!

Beautiful bride, Cà©line, absolutely stunned in her perfectly pitched boho-style, custom-made Yoav Rish gown, with her chic yellow bouquet.

All of the joy, laughter and dà©cor details were captured with expert ease by our incredible Recommended vendor, photographer Luz Weddings who we ADORE, and have featured many times on STG before (for reasons that will become very obvious as you scroll through these images.

We’ll pass you on to Cà©line now for all of the wedding day details. Enjoy!

An Inbal Dror Bride for a Bright, Summery Jewish Wedding at Beit Hanan, Israel

09/08/2017 by Karen Cinnamon

One of the many reasons we love a good Israeli wedding is that the laid-back, cool vibe is simply impossible to replicate. Nir and Zlil’s Jewish wedding juxtaposed bright, summery colors and the natural beauty of their venue with a chic, urban aesthetic, created by fabulous photographers and insanely talented Recommended Vendors, Luz.

Beautiful bride, Zlil, looked every bit the ethereal, fairy princess in her stunning wedding ensemble. We are ridiculously in love with Inbal Dror‘s designs – sexy, confident, glamorous – and Zlil wore her glittery, dreamy gown like she was born for it. We’re not ashamed to admit we all have a massive girl crush on Zlil here at STG HQ. The couple look simply incredible together, like a pair of movie stars.

We really enjoyed the special wooden wedding wall, made just for the occasion, with candy and bubble guns available for instant fun! Yes please! The resulting effect was a dreamscape of bubbles floating about the ceremony – absolutely magical.

It’s one of those weddings we wish we’d attended – even just to sample the incredible spread on offer by caterer Taste and Color!

Videographer Tovy Berkovich created an absolutely amazing, cinematic wedding trailer, showcasing the best bits of Zlil and Nir’s big day in such an effortless and elegant way.

Over to Zlil for the full wedding report – take it away, Zlil!

How we met

Zlil, the bride: We studied at the same high school, but we barely knew each other until we got to the army. Nir served in the air force in Haifa as a course commander, and continued to study engineering. During our service, our relationship developed.

An Emotional Destination Jewish Wedding Overlooking Jerusalem at Olmaya, Israel

28/07/2017 by Karen Cinnamon

Here at STG HQ, we have to admit that we welled up a LOT while putting together today’s real Jewish wedding. From bride, Jenna’s moving words about their choice to marry in Jerusalem, overlooking the old city, to groom, Jacob’s heart-stopping speech about his love for Jenna, we’re sure there wasn’t a dry eye at the wedding (and there certainly wasn’t one here).

Their history together explains why. Not a lot of couples can make a long-distance relationship work, but Jenna and Jacob were so sure that they were meant to be, that they did everything in their power to ensure that they could be together.

The wedding itself looked effortlessly beautiful, with the surroundings and Jenna’s stunning wedding ensemble speaking for themselves. Also, while we’re gawking, we definitely wouldn’t mind one of those Nutella cupcakes!

The intense adoration, which is such a rare find in this life, is so evident in the beautiful spread of photos, taken by much loved STG Recommended Vendor, Luz Weddings, who photography weddings in the UK, USA

We’ll hand over to Jenna for her beautifully eloquent and tear-jerking writeup of her and Jacob’s wedding – we’re sure you’ll join us in wishing them a long and blissfully happy life together.

How we met

Jenna, the bride: Jacob is from Switzerland and I am from Australia. We met in Israel, as both of us were studying at Tel Aviv University as law exchange students.

A Colorful Spring Jewish Wedding at The East Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel

26/06/2017 by Karen

Summer is truly here, and what better way to celebrate than with a Michal and Shem’s bright and beautiful Tel Aviv wedding.

There’s always something so cool about the way Tel Aviv couples do things, and Michal and Shem were no exception. Juxtaposing fresh, spring blooms against an industrial, urban backdrop, everything about the wedding is so true to the Tel Aviv bohemian city babe vibe.

The gorgeous details, including the creative pinwheel display behind the chuppah and the beautiful sprayed bottle table numbers, were all captured with aplomb by our much-loved Recommended Vendor, photographer Luz Weddings. We’re also swooning over the absolutely creative and chic couple shots! We’re almost as in love as Michal and Shem look!

We’re really into Michal’s bridal style, including her Limor Rosen dress, complete with pockets! We’ll leave you in Michal’s capable hands for the full story – take it away, Michal!

How we met

Michal, the bride: We worked together at a coffee shop. We started out as friends, and one time after a night out with all our friends from work we ended up alone with each other, and here we are after six years…
