A Studio Ran Zuriel Bride for a Handmade and Homey Jewish Wedding Full of Personal Touches at Gayya, Hadera, Israel

21/07/2023 by Karen Cinnamon

Maya & Lior, Gayya, Hadera, Israel

We love it when a couple plans a Jewish wedding that’s totally, completely them – and that’s exactly what Maya and Lior did when planning their fabulous wedding in Israel.

The couple’s top priority was to make their day feel homey and intimate, and it didn’t hurt that Maya is one of the craftsiest brides around. She took the lead on wonderful DIY touches from DIY glittery wedding sneakers (to match her custom sparkly gold gown designed by Studio Ran Zuriel) to a hand-crocheted bouquet of fabric flowers to custom massage balls the duo have out as wedding favors. Don’t miss all the details in the exquisite photos by Lior Rotstein and video by Oren Jacobson.

Given how artsy Maya is, she naturally wanted something extra special when it came to her ketubah. And she and Lior found exactly that in phenomenal Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Brit Colors. Lior chose the Purple Rings design and Maya came up with the idea of adding the couple’s names in shiny gold-leaf to maintain the wedding’s sparkly theme.

This day is chock full of so many more special details – read on for the full story in the couple’s own words…
