Smashing the Glass

To catch you up if you missed it - it was "the-incident-where-we-lost-all-our-wedding-photos-to-an-evil-canine". After discovering that our wedding photographs had been sabotaged by a dog, I went through a rather "dark phase". And by "dark phase", I mean dark. phase. In fact - I passed through a mulitude of emotions including: 

Mostly PEOPLE'S FACES -

but I was happy to settle for anything else which provided shattering, cracking or snapping.

I wanted to smash windows. I wanted to kick dogs. I wanted to punch babies. Mother tried to console me over the phone, I threw my iPhone against the wall. Father emailed me some words of comfort, I burnt my Macbook on the stove top.

Let's just say... it was a 

YEAH!!! I'm IN!!

WEDDINGS = BREAK SHIT!!

This girrrrl KNOWS what she's TALKING ABOUT!

* * * *

After a few days months, once the rage had cooled, I hopped on over to Smashing the Glass and discovered that 'This girrrrrl' does indeed know exactly what she's talking about - gorgeous, elegant and original weddings for style obsessed (Jewish) brides!

I must say - there is something really beautiful about looking at wedding photographs - they are always filled with such joy and emotion (this couple walking down the aisle!), and for me - it has been strangely cathartic to peruse through wedding blogs such as this one. (Also, kids at weddings are SO CUTE.)

  

Karen Cinnamon (above) is the founder of Smashing the Glass. (I drew you a little cinnamon diagram for extra clarity). The concept of the blog grew from her planning her own wedding and realising that there was a need for a wedding blog catering specifically for modern Jewish brides - a place where brides can come to gather ideas, whilst still maintaining elements of Jewish tradition.

Although Smashing the Glass is primarily focused on the Jewish Bride - it is an awesome resource for any couple planning their wedding and each wedding posted on this blog is filled with awesome ideas, interesting decor or creative ideas. Like this couple using their photographs as a timeline of their relationship and I LOVE the high-end feel of this wedding and the way they have incorporated cow-hide into their celebrations! Super cool!

I have learnt so much about Jewish weddings and traditions from reading Smashing the Glass - including the tradition of actually smashing the glass (read here!) and a full glossary of Jewish wedding terms here! (I have noticed though, that Jewish weddings tend to be glamourous and elegant - like this one! - Wow!)

Since the SEASON OF WEDDINGS is upon us - it has been so awesome having Smashing the Glass as a sponsor this month, Thanks so much Karen! I have no doubt it will be a give many indieBerries brides' hours of wed-spiration!

Happy clicking!

And PS, if we ever decide to get married again - I will just hit up her smashing suppliers list to book myself a photographer!
