A Stella York Bride for an Intimate, Elegant Interfaith Jewish Wedding at Anderson House, Washington, DC, USA

03/04/2023 by Karen Cinnamon

Carlee-Eric-Anderson-House-Washington-USA

Today’s fabulous interfaith Jewish wedding is just beyond chic – from the historic venue to the floral chuppah to the oh-so-elegant place settings and beyond.

Carlee and Eric fell in love with Anderson House as soon as they set eyes on it – and it was truly the perfect spot for their intimate, timeless day, surrounded by close family and friends. With such an exquisite venue, they didn’t need to do much to make it shine – and so they stuck to a neutral color scheme of white and blush mixed with greenery.

We love the couple’s simple floral chuppah – and the wonderful ketubah from Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor ketubah.com that went along with it. Carlee and Eric picked a design by artist Angela Munitz mirroring the green leaves that adorned their chuppah, combined with soothing blues. They were so thrilled to be able to select an interfaith ketubah that symbolizes their love and mutual respect for each other. Don’t miss it all in Manda Weaver Photography‘s romantic images of the day.

We’ll let Carlee – who found the perfect gown in her simple, elegant Stella York  style – fill you in on the rest.

How We Met

Carlee, the bride: We first met in law school in 2016 at the University of Florida, and Eric was one year ahead of Carlee. We were friends during law school, and then Eric spent his last semester in Chicago. After Carlee graduated in 2019, Eric moved back to Florida, they reconnected and have been inseparable since then.

Our first date was at The Breakers in Palm Beach, and this is where Eric proposed. We were walking in the courtyard when all of a sudden, Eric was down on one knee. I was completely surprised and had no idea it would happen. Our parents were watching from inside and have a video of the entire proposal. It was very sentimental since we had spent so much time in Palm Beach while we were dating and living in West Palm Beach.Continue ReadingContinue Reading

A Stella York Bride for a DIY Jewish Wedding with a Very Special Quilted Chuppah Canopy at Sailfish Point Country Club, South Hutchinson Island, Florida

13/03/2023 by Karen Cinnamon

Lindsey-and-Dylan-Sailfish-Point-Country-Club-Florida-USA

We love a good DIY Jewish wedding – and today’s couple, along with their family and friends, did SUCH a wonderful job putting their personal spin on the day.

Lindsey, a data scientist, and Dylan, the co-owner of Bywater Brew Pub, a brewery and restaurant in New Orleans, knew from the start they wanted a relaxed, community-focused wedding where their loved ones could get away from it all for a couple days of laid-back bonding. With that in mind, they opted to wed at Sailfish Point Country Club in Florida, where Lindsey’s mom and stepfather live.

Many friends and relatives helped make the day the colorful, vibrant celebration of Lindsey and Dylan’s dreams, but a special shout out has to go to Lindsey’s mom, Hollie, and sister, Rocky. Hollie happens to be an amazing quilter, and a few days before the wedding she surprised the couple with a wonderful chuppah cover she’d secretly been working to assemble over the past year!

Unbeknownst to Lindsey and Dylan, Hollie had emailed all the guests inviting them to send a piece of fabric to be included in the chuppah cover. She invited those who could not send a piece of fabric to send her a quote or message by email that she then went on to embroider on fabric that she chose. She was even able to include some items from departed loved ones, including some photos printed on fabric.

Lindsey and Dylan were so thrilled to be able to get married beneath such a meaningful canopy – in Lindsey’s words, “we could feel the love and energy of several generations of family and friends.” How special is that?! Don’t miss it in the wonderful photos by Josh Hailey.

We’ll let Lindsey – who looked stunning in Stella York – take it from here…

How we Met

Lindsey, the bride: We met just a couple weeks after we both graduated from college when our mutual friend introduced us to each other at F&M’s, a staple college bar in New Orleans.Continue ReadingContinue Reading
