Jewish weddings are often lush and lavish and steeped in historically rich and opulent traditions. They are also meaningful celebrations that hold tremendous significance and  with a little trendy inspiration can be classically couture and spiritual events

1. Couture Kippas: Jewish men cover their heads as a sign of obedience reverence to God….and to show their respect and honor. Today’s “trendy” Jewish groom can choose among many a custom  designed kippas and may choose the same  for  their congregation and guests. Think monogrammed kippas or kippas inscriped with your wedding date.
2. The Haute Chuppah: The chuppah (pronounced Hoopa) is a primary focal point at Jewish weddings signifying the happy home the couple will build. Contemporary couples are choosing to add a hint of A-list glitz to this significant religious centerpiece.  Think fanciful elegance with lace, toile, flowers and lavish lighting.
3. Ethnic Food Station: Food and family are at the heart of every Jewish celebration. Consider tapping into your rich, cultural heritage with a fanciful food bar. For Sunday morning weddings you may want to consider a host of delicacies such as exotic fish (lox, herring, white fish, etc) with an array of designer cream cheeses. You may also want to serve up a biscuit bar with an eclectic assortment of jams, jellies, honey, and flavored butters. Customize a Kosher menu (inspired from your cultural background) for hors d’oeuvres and the main meal. And don’t forget a culturally inspired dessert station that’s sure to be a sweet treat.
4. Chic Jewish Spirits: Infusion bars that allow guests to customize and design their own cocktails(or mocktails) give guests the opportunity tailor libations both traditional and trendy to their personal tastes.
