Get ready to fall hard for this Jewish-Mexican wedding in Oxford, England

Get ready to fall hard for this Jewish-Mexican wedding in Oxford, England

I am a rabbi’s daughter from New York, while Anna grew up in Mexico City (we met in England in an aerial dance class, as one does). Rather than choosing one cultural tradition, we decided to do everything that was important to us.

We now live in the British countryside, so that became part of the wedding aesthetic as well, with Anna mixing a colourful Mexican colour palette and bouquet of succulents with a tweed jacket and her polo whites.

A sweet boho family elopement redo in Prospect Park in Brooklyn

Melissa and Rey eloped back in 2016 and wanted to recapture the magic of that day, this time with their baby boy, Aion, to oversee all the festivities. They had a gorgeous and colorful vow renewal at New York’s Prospect Park followed by a picnic of traditional Dominican and Chinese sweets.

LA’s oldest bowling alley was the backdrop at this chic & playful two-bride wedding

Gianna and Erin met working as writers on the same TV show and their friendship blossomed into love. They didn’t want their wedding to feel like a wedding but rather just a fun party. Plus, they loved the old-timey feel of the space. 

Don’t miss Erin’s fab black and navy dress and Gianna’s suit that was once owned by Ellen Degeneres!

With their wedding ceremony at the iconic Immaculata at USD and reception at The New Children’s Museum, Jazmine and Michael were able to pull off both traditional and whimsical. This stunning wedding had meaningful cultural traditions with lots of twists. From bridesmen to mimicking the San Diego Kissing Statue to choreographed dances and break dancing, this wedding kept us on our toes.
