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.

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!

Tasha and Priscilla rocked a super sweet, small, and DIYed wedding in upstate New York. They said that they were “kind of winging this whole ‘wedding’ since it’s basically just a party after we elope in the woods in upstate NY.” That’s one of my favorite kinds of parties! Plus there were sentimental moments all over. It’s a doozy…

Leah and Amanda planned their wedding in just a few short months, but you’d never know it by it’s loveliness. They love sci-fi movies and have sci-fi posters all over their house which inspired the reception decor — from table numbers, guestbook, and florals in science beakers as bud vases. Leah likes crafting and designed all the personalized signage for the wedding. The food at reception was fall festive and included a s’mores bar!
