Dana and Josh’s Black Tie Wedding
Last weekend finished off my summer weddings for this year. I attended my work friend Dana’s nuptials along with several of my dear friends I’ve met working in PR. (Luke was away at his 10-year high school reunion) Here we are looking spiffy in our black-tie attire.

Upon walking into the Four Seasons, we were met with some out of this world floral arrangements.

And the most breath-taking aisle I’ve ever seen!

This was the first Jewish wedding I’ve been to, and it was really neat experiencing all the unique traditions and customs. For instance, Dana walked down the aisle by herself and then her and Josh walked in circles around each other. Anyone know what the significance of that is?
After the ceremony we took in all the beautiful details during the cocktail hour and beginning of dinner.
Like the cake…

And the centerpieces…


My friend Molly popped a squat on the custom-made couches!

Butter-flowers. (I loved these for some reason!)

And even a custom-made dance floor…

Then their AWESOME band took the stage and got everyone dancing.


I think it’s safe to say everyone had a blast. Thanks for inviting us Dana and Josh! Mazel Tov!



Beautiful wedding and bride – nice story, Lizzy!
Wow, Dana’s wedding looked incredible! Thanks for sharing Liz!
The circling of the bride and groom has many interpretations (http://www.ketubah.com/faq-help/jewish-wedding-101/ and http://judaism.about.com/od/weddings/ss/wedding_how_5.htm for example). It’s more common in conservative Judaism and Orthodox Judaism than in reform Judaism (more modern and liberal than the other two).
it looks amazing..
Thanks for sharing the background on that tradition Adam!
Absolutely gorgeous – well done Dana! And thanks for the pics, Liz!
it looks amazing..
Thanks for the lovely post, Liz (minus the greasy semi-scary picture of me and Josh at the end). It’s fun to see your perspective on the wedding and glad you had fun!
