{Real Jewish Weddings} Buckhead, GA

Talk about a fusion wedding! Sara and Daniel blended their heritages (she’s Indian/American, he’s Jewish American) to create an elegant day that was truly them. The evening began with a traditional Jewish ceremony beneath a gorgeous huppah: all parents joined the couple under the canopy, and the ketubah design evoked a feeling of Indian artwork. In a unique twist, Daniel’s eight-year-old nephew and five-year-old niece sang the kiddush and motzi blessings before dinner in the magically transformed ballroom, replete with flowers in shades of pink, red and purple, as well as huge beaded lampshades on some of the tables. But the highlight of the room had to be the white starlit dance floor – the LED lights embedded in the floor actually twinkled like stars. The sweetest moment of the evening: when Daniel performed a surprise rap song titled “Fly Together” that he had written for Sara, describing their courtship, including their engagement at Lake Rabun, and declaring his undying love for her. And get this — their favors were such a unique idea: Party Boxes with a chocolate and a Lotto Ticket with a note that said, “We were lucky to find our match and hope you are, too.”

Mazel tov, Sara and Daniel!

From the photographer:
Ziva and Jonah’s wedding was one of my favorites!! The Jewish traditions, the emotions, the love between the bride and groom — it all came together in the most beautiful way! I always LOVE the Beddekken, and Ziva and Jonah’s was all the more amazing after not seeing each other for an entire week! And after a traditional ceremony, everyone kicked off their shoes and tore up the dance floor!

Mazel tov, Ziva and Jonah!

Kristen & Roy are a fun and relaxed couple, so their wedding day was a successful reflection of them! From the lovely floral decor to the Rolls Royce sweeping them away from the synagogue, Kristen and Roy pulled off a classic and timeless wedding vision. As is evident in the photos, the warmest touch of all was Kristen’s infectious smile and the way Roy took care of Kristen the entire day.

David and Michelle’s wedding was just magnificent. Rich in heritage and steeped in tradition yet contrasted with a casual elegance set against some of the very best of Sydney, it was a true delight for their family and friends to celebrate. Their love for one another leaps from every image – an authenticity of feeling that can not be created. What I adored the most was the spirit of fun and creativity in their DIY projects. The couple’s true personality and style was shining through every detail, making their wedding day truly about them!

Mazel tov, Michelle and David!

{Real Jewish Weddings} Savannah, GA

Yliana and Nick met through mutual friends, and it’s easy to say that this couple knew what they wanted when they realized they had it: he proposed in a letter after three months of dating and were married nine months later. Nick was raised Jewish and Yliana was not, but they had gone to a Jewish wedding together and both loved the warmth, beauty, and attention to personal details in the Jewish ceremony and knew they’d want to be married the same way with the same traditions. Originally, the plan was to have a big wedding, but they realized the best option for them would be a very private and personal wedding between them and a rabbi. Because they love the architecture of Savannah, they chose Forsyth Park as the ceremony site and learned that their’s was the first Jewish wedding to ever occur there.

Because the wedding was truly all about them, Yliana and Nick hired a stellar wedding vendor team to design and coordinate a dream wedding. After the ceremony under Forsyth’s Park first chuppah, they sat at a table to drink champagne and enjoy wedding cake! You’ll notice their table is set for six; Yliana and Nick included their stellar wedding team in their celebration.

The details in this wedding are so intricate and beautifully designed. Read more about the vintage details of this special and unique evening at the Mill Crest Vintage wedding blog!

Mazel tov, Yliana and Nick!
