We’re excited to introduce a brand-new blog series here on Smashing The Glass called “5 of Our Favorites.” Each week, we’ll be shining a spotlight on five beautiful Jewish weddings from our extensive archives, carefully curated around a different theme. Whether it’s a venue, style, or unique tradition, we’ll be bringing you some of the most stunning and inspiring Jewish weddings to help make your own planning journey even more special.
To kick off the series, we’re starting with a theme close to our hearts, with 5 of our favorite Jewish museum weddings. Given that our founder, Karen Cinnamon herself, got married at London’s Wallace Collection (and yes, you’ll see her wedding here), it seemed a natural starting point.
These weddings take place in some of the world’s most breathtaking museums, where culture and history combine to create truly unforgettable celebrations. From contemporary galleries to historical landmarks, these Jewish museum weddings are full of beauty, meaning, and charm—and we can’t wait to share them with you. Stay tuned for even more beautiful ideas and inspiration in the weeks to come!

Orly and Zak’s Jewish Wedding at the Natural History Museum, London, UK
The majestic Natural History Museum, a beloved Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor in lovely South Kensington, is one of the most spectacular venues in all of London, and Orly and Zak’s epic reception in the museum’s stunning Hintze Hall—if you’ve been, or seen it in pictures, it’s the main space with the whale skeleton overhanging—does not disappoint.

Ranana and Binyamin’s Jewish Wedding at the Chicago History Museum, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Chicagoans Ranana and Binyamin chose the Chicago History Museum as their venue in honor of their shared love of art and history—and we love that every decision they made in planning their fabulous day was focused on truly making it their own. The couple’s photographer, the spectacular Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Eliana Melmed Photography, captured the day so perfectly.

From invitations designed by the artistic bride herself–taking inspiration from the Frank Lloyd Wright window in the room where the chuppah took place–to the heartfelt egalitarian Orthodox ceremony the couple crafted alongside their officiant, this was one special day.
