The Temple in Atlanta is one of the most magical places and with this couple you just couldn’t lose. Eliana looked like a movie star (re: that red lipstick!) and Chad was dashing.

Eliana’s bouquet of orchids and roses was perfect to compliment her incredible gown.

Even though it rained on the day of their wedding, they still took advantage of the exterior of the Temple for photos.

Bride Eliana shares her wedding story and inspiration with us.

Tell us about the wedding!
Our wedding was at The Temple in Atlanta, Georgia. We wanted to combine our Jewish background with a modern-day party for our big day.

The inspiration for our wedding came from our love for one another, for our Jewish heritage, and for a really good party. We combined the signing of the ketubah, havdalah ceremony, and bedeken before our ceremony to be able to share our entire day with all of our guests.

What was the hardest part about wedding planning?
The hardest part about wedding planning was trying not to hurt our family/friends’ feelings.

Did you do any DIY (do it yourself) or special projects/things at the wedding?
With help from my mom, my maid of honor, and bridesmaids we were able to make all of the save-the-dates, invitations, programs, and place cards for the big day!

What was your favorite part of the wedding?
My favorite part of the wedding was our first dance. It truly felt as if no one else was in the room and all that existed in the world was my husband and me.

What 3 words of advice do you have for future brides/grooms-to-be?
Focus on love! Don’t stress; it’s all about you and your spouse!
