A Berta Bride for a Magical Jewish Wedding at Finca La Concepcion, Marbella, Spain

by

Lauren and Daryl, Finca La Conception, Marbella, Spain

 

Marbella is such a magical spot for a Jewish wedding, and Lauren and Daryl’s is truly something special. Finca La Concepcion was the perfect backdrop for their big day, with its glam garden vibes.

This was one epic party, and Lauren and Daryl brought in all kinds of fun touches to make the day truly theirs – like a “take your pair and find your chair” seating plan, with a wall covered with sunglasses for all the guests to take!

Another special thing about this wedding is the fact that Lauren and Daryl were able to have both sets of grandparents with them under the chuppah, alongside their parents – how touching is that?!

Throw in a stunning floral chuppah and an uber-elegant gown by Israeli designer Berta, and we’re sold. Nora Photography and Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Denee Motion captured the day so perfectly – don’t miss the breathtaking cinematic trailer! 

Now over to Lauren…

Gemma and Jamie may live in England, but they love spending time in the south of Spain – so when it came time to plan their Jewish wedding, Marbella was a natural fit.

They found the perfect venue in Casa De La Era, overlooking the mountains and sea, and incorporated touches of Spanish culture and tradition into just about every aspect of the day, from the chuppah – decorated with lemons, pink bougainvillea and leaves – to the food: Gemma and Jamie found a caterer who was able to provide kosher renditions of traditional Spanish dishes including paella! Don’t miss all the gorgeous details in the luminous photos by David Luque.

The favors were mini bottles of the pair’s favorite Spanish olive oil, and even the bride’s gown came from Santos and Eva in Marbella. Read on for the rest of the story in Gemma’s own words…

How We Met

Gemma, the bride: Jamie and I, met when we were living in Nottingham. I (Gemma) was at university in my 2nd year and Jamie was already graduated, he was living and working in the city. Myself and Jamie were on a group on Facebook called Yid Lifts, where Jewish students exchange lifts home, from university. Jamie posted to say he was driving to London on X date and I replied to say I needed a lift. I never ended up taking the lift as I wimped out but Jamie kept on talking to me over Facebook. He then asked me on a date and the rest is history!Continue ReadingContinue Reading

We are both from Manchester and went to the same high school but never bumped into each other before then. Adam proposed towards the end of lockdown, almost 8 years of being together. We were renovating our 1st house and he had decorated the house full of white roses and candles and I said yes!Continue ReadingContinue Reading
