Sydney & William | Jewish Handmade DIY Barn Wedding, The Laurentians, Canada

23/10/2013 by Karen

Handmade DIY wedding 71 Today I have for you a real-deal bona fide Smashing The Glass wedding. It’s a genuine do-it-yourself abundance of unique and creative perfection. Everything is handmade (with love!) by close friends and family.

Sydney and William chose to have their wedding at the bride’s  grandparent’s country house in  the Laurentians  (about a hour north of Montreal) and the wedding rings, invitations, bride’s dress, floristry, hair + make-up, ketubah, kippot, cake, and favours were all  handmade and created by close family.

There are many, many personal touches incorporated into their W-day (in particular into their Jewish ceremony) that really make it stand out.  Let’s take a lovely look…
