JUST BLOGGED // 🇮🇹 There’s nothing like a Jewish wedding in Italy – and Deborah and Stephan’s destination celebration in the beautiful (and, dare we say, just about undiscovered in the Jewish wedding world) is really something special. The couple, who live in Zurich, fell in love with the northern Italian region’s rolling vineyards, tiny villages, extraordinary food and wine, and understated elegance – and their venue,  @latorricellamonforte, was the perfect spot from which to share their enthusiasm for the region to all their guests. 🇮🇹 Deborah and Stephan opted for a soft, natural color palette of ivory, white, warm blush, and neutral tones, designed to complement rather than compete with the greens and golden hues of the surrounding landscape. Their ketubah, designed by #STGvendor @emma.bloom.ketubah, featured a contemporary design that reminded the duo of the rolling hills of Piemonte. And the menu featured vegetarian Piemontese cuisine, made with local ingredients – including a traditional Italian wedding cake! 🇮🇹 We also love that, after much searching, Deborah and Stephan found the perfect hazzan for their chuppah in #STGvendor @urigoldofficial. The pair immediately fell in love with his musical style and talent, and it’s easy to see why. In addition to singing and playing guitar during the chuppah, Uri also performed during the cake cutting and brought his incredible energy to the hora! 🇮🇹 {LINK IN BIO} 👰🏻 @devorahhaller 🤵🏻 @stefunworld 📷 @monocromo_studio 📜 @emma.bloom.ketubah #STGVendor 🎤 @urigoldofficial #STGVendor 📍 @latorricellamonforte 👗 @trishpeng found at @zoro.zurich 💍 @koenigjewellery 💐 @martab.floraldesigner 💇‍♀️ @ganna_hairstyle 💄 @ecaterina.ivanova.team 🎶 @tuttafuffa.crew ✉️ @casando.mimos

🤳 That gorgeous photo of the two of you looking into each other’s eyes under the chuppah? Your photographer’s got it covered. But your cousin’s view from the second row, with your parents holding hands in the foreground? You’ll want that one too. There’s something so special about getting a chance to see your Jewish through your guests’ eyes - which is why we’re so excited about @weddingsnap.io. One QR code lets your guests upload their photos and videos to a private gallery, straight from their phones. There’s no app to download or account to create, and the same code works from your welcome dinner to the morning-after brunch. And how cool is it that you can display a live slideshow featuring your pics and videos as they come in, on a screen at your venue, so you and your guests can enjoy photos of the celebrations as they’re captured? We also love that guests can leave voice messages, too - including loved ones who couldn’t make the trip. Head over to the blog for all the details! {LINK IN BIO} _ #ad #STGvendor

JUST BLOGGED // 🌟 We’re head over heels for Liora and Tamara’s super stylish same-sex Miami Jewish wedding, which combines Old Hollywood glamour with Jewish tradition in the most beautiful way. 🌟 The Miami-based brides always knew they wanted to celebrate locally, surrounded by all their favorite people, and @theclubofknights in Coral Gables made the perfect setting for their big day. 🌟 We absolutely love how much meaning Liora and Tamara packed into the day – and especially the way they made Jewish traditions their own. For the seven circles, each bride circled the other three times before they completed the final circle together, hand in hand. And when it came time to smash the glass, each bride broke one, symbolizing their entrance into a new chapter of their life together. 🌟 The fashion was pretty fabulous too. Tamara wore a gorgeous @yolancris mermaid gown, while Liora chose a custom @fabregasc jumpsuit topped with an embellished @pronovias tulle cape. Later, both brides changed into seriously chic looks from @nadinemerabi to keep the party going in style. 🌟 And keeping the party going was most definitely a priority. #STGvendor DJ Leeor of @lrentertainment was the very first vendor Liora and Tamara booked, before they even had a venue or planner. In the brides’ words, “as an Israeli DJ, he understood exactly the atmosphere we wanted: Jewish pride, incredible energy, and a packed dance floor all night long.” 🌟 Through DJ Leeor’s entertainment company, @lrentertainment, they added a live violinist to welcome guests before the ceremony, a live band performing during cocktail hour, and a saxophonist and drummer who joined the DJ during the reception. Together with a mix of Israeli music, ’80s classics, disco, and house music, the music and live performances kept the energy going from beginning to end 🌟 {LINK IN BIO} 👰🏻 👰🏻 @li0ra_ and @tamaraazar_ 📷 @melanniemorfaphoto 🎶 @lrentertainment #STGVendor 🤳 @contentbff_ 📍 @theclubofknights 📋 @amandagrahamevents 👗 @yolancris, @fabregasc, @pronovias, @nadinemerabi 💐 @nerysflowers 💄 @dollsbysophia

JUST BLOGGED // 🌸 We have the most stunning English garden Jewish wedding to share with you today! Mia and Bradley have been together since the age of 14 after meeting at school, so by the time they celebrated their big day at @down_hall in Essex, there was so much history, love, and family wrapped up in the day. 🌸 And speaking of family – Mia is lucky enough to be the daughter of Richard, founder of #STGvendor @creativeeventsandproductionuk, so it was basically a given that she was going to have a Jewish wedding for the books. 🌸 @creativeeventsandproductionuk handled planning, production, and floral design, and they brought Mia’s dreams of a rustic English garden in soft pastels to life so perfectly. We’re especially obsessed with the duo’s stunner of a floral chuppah, featuring a mix of seasonal flowers, including hydrangeas, peonies, roses, and dahlias 🌸 {LINK IN BIO} 👰🏻 @miaffreedman 🤵🏻 @bradleyfreedman_ 📷 @chloedelmonte 📹 @deneemotion 💡📋 💐 @creativeeventsandproductionuk #STGvendor 📍@down_hall 📋 @seventhdetail_weddingplanning 👗 @suzanneneville 💇‍♀️ @ilanag_hair 💄 @make_up_by_rina 👠 @laceandfavour 🎶 @clubliveshowband ✉️ @eventfullymore 🍽️ @eighteen_events 🤳@your.weddingedit

JUST BLOGGED // ✨ There’s so much to love about Sarah and Harrison’s beautiful Jewish wedding at @grittletonhouseevents in Wiltshire, England. With Harrison’s American Jewish background and Sarah’s English and Scottish roots, the couple set out to create a celebration that brought their families and traditions together in a way that felt completely personal to them – and they absolutely smashed it! ✨ Sarah’s father handmade the couple’s wooden chuppah (and even carved in the couple’s initials and wedding date!), while the canopy was formed by Harrison’s late grandfather’s tallit. Sarah’s mother made kippot using the family tartan, and for kiddush, the couple drank wine from a traditional Scottish quaich. ✨ The duo needed a band that could do both a hora and a ceilidh, and they found the perfect fit in #STGvendor @sound with us, who played soft guitar music during the ceremony, jazz during the cocktail hour, and funk, disco, and pop following the traditional dances. We also love that, as a roaming band, they went around the crowd engaging with guests, dancing and singing with them. Oh, and one of the band members also DJ’ed for the rest of the night once the live performance ended! ✨ {LINK IN BIO} 📷 @joab_smith 📹 @onestagproductions 🎶 @soundwithus #STGVendor 📍 @grittletonhouseevents 👗 @margauxtardits found at @themewsbridal 💍 @diana_porter_jewellery 💐 @thenativeflorist 💄 @southwestbridalhairmakeup ✉️ @feelgoodinvites 🍰 @ahhtoots ✈️ @fufu_japan_official _ #scottishjewishwedding #interfaithwedding #multiculturalwedding

🤍 One year ago today, Olivia & Amir celebrated their love in Florence. Today, on their first wedding anniversary, we are incredibly happy to see their beautiful Jewish wedding featured on @smashingtheglass Read the full feature at the link in our bio. Set at the magnificent Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, their celebration was filled with vibrant florals, a beautiful chuppah, meaningful traditions, incredible music and so much joy — a day that truly reflected who they are and the love they share. We had the honour of capturing these moments and preserving the emotions, the laughter, the details and all the little in-between moments that made their wedding so unforgettable.
