A Jewish Wedding Full of Personal Touches at Mt Princeton Hot Springs Resort, Colorado, USA

20/03/2023 by Karen Cinnamon

Carrie-Eran-Mt-Princeton-Hot-Springs-Resort-ColoradoUSA

We love it when a couple crafts a Jewish wedding that’s totally, 100% THEM – which is exactly what today’s duo, Carrie and Eran, did.

Carrie and Eran planned their wedding very intentionally, taking note of what spoke to them from other weddings they’d attended and making sure all decisions made were true to them. This led to not only a totally stunning day in the beautiful hot springs of Colorado (right where the pair had gotten engaged!), but also a very personal one full of so many meaningful touches.

One we especially love is that, under the chuppah, Carrie and Eran each shared a private moment with their own parents, and then switched and shared a private moment with their new in-laws. This was something they’d seen at a wedding they’d attended as guests, and it resonated with them so much they decided to make it part of their own day! Don’t miss this emotional moment – not to mention all the joy and love shining through the whole day – in the wonderful photos by Jennifer Lourie.

Another fun touch was the couple’s audio guest book! Instead of a standard paper guest book, Carrie and Eran opted for a “Fetephone,” a rental phone where the couple makes a custom outgoing message, and then guests leave a “voicemail” for the newlyweds.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg for this very special wedding, but we’ll leave it to Carrie and Eran to share the rest of the details…

How we Met

Carrie, the bride and Eran, the groom:We met through a mutual friend/ Carrie’s roommate. We were both newly out of college and living in Washington, DC at the time. Carrie and her new roommates threw a housewarming party that Eran attended. Eran was looking for a new job and Carrie had just started at a thriving, DC-based company called The Advisory Board. Eran was looking for jobs at The Advisory Board, and asked if Carrie could refer and help counsel him through the interview process. Carrie still has Eran’s first email to her “Eran’s resume!”, dated May, 2014.Continue ReadingContinue Reading

A Classic Jewish Wedding with Plenty of Shtick at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale, Arizona, USA

23/08/2021 by Karen Cinnamon

Tamara & Josh, Hyatt Regency Scottsdale, Arizona, USA

We’re so delighted to be featuring the gorgeous Jewish wedding of Smashing The Glass Bride’s Club member Tamara, a middle and high school history teacher, and Josh, who works in property management. 

We’re obsessed with their Scottsdale venue – nothing like an outdoor chuppah with those stunning southwestern mountains in the background – and the way the couple seamlessly tied in their classic wedding style and lilac and white color scheme. Don’t miss the wonderful pics from photographer John Solano!

Tamara is, in her own words, “obsessed with shtick,” and her crew delivered! Lots of the humor was based around the fact that Tamara and Josh attended rival schools University of Arizona and Arizona State University, respectively, and the bride’s Chabad rabbi from U of A went so far as to mention that if these two couple get together, world peace can happen! The pair also had a friend do schtick where he was eating “hand sanitizer” (jello)  and “mouthwash” (probably Gatorade)!

Tamara’s got a wild wedding gown story, too… but all’s well that ends well, and if you ask us she couldn’t have looked lovelier in the finished product!

Now over to the bride…

A Justin Alexander Bride for an Ultra-Personal Jewish Wedding at TPC Sugarloaf, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

15/05/2020 by Karen Cinnamon

Natasha-and-Ryan-TCP-SugarLoaf-Atlanta
We love it when a couple plans a Jewish wedding that’s totally, completely them – and that’s exactly what Natasha, a risk analyst at a real estate investment company, and Ryan, a development associate for Hillels of Georgia, did.

For starters, we’re obsessed with the custom ketubah the pair commissioned from Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Ink with Intent to feature the famous University of Georgia Arch – since these two met at college there and are both diehard Bulldog fans!

We also love the fact that the bride crafted most of the décor herself! But most special of all is the fact that Natasha was given the surprise gift of a special necklace of her late mother’s. Natasha had thought her mother was buried in the necklace, but turns out her uncle had been holding onto it with the intention of gifting it to her on her special day – how beautiful is that?! We love all the emotion of the day that comes through in the beautiful photos by Katie Tiller and video from Snguyen Media.

Now over to Natasha, who looked beautiful in Justin Alexander…
