However, during Jewish weddings, it is taken to a whole new level! On the day of and leading up to the wedding, the bride and groom are treated like \u201cQueen and King\u201d by their family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Shomeret is assigned for the woman and a Shomer is assigned for a man to make sure that you are treated like the royalty you are for your big day!

Jewish henna is a celebrated tradition in Moroccan Jewish and other Mizrahi wedding celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The henna is applied to the bride a week before the wedding while being showered with gifts and symbolizes fertility, good luck, and protection against evil eyes. Usually, it is usually paired with a red and gold velvet caftan and an intricate headpiece (we love some unique accessories). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the unique design of the henna on the bride\u2019s hands, a small portion of henna is placed on the groom\u2019s and bride\u2019s hands and then tied with a ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Psst&#8230;<\/em> Take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/blog\/wedding-nails-types\/\">wedding nails blog<\/a> so you can match them to your gorgeous henna!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Head Coverings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"47671\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1122_JOD05608-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"Biodegradable Head Coverings Provided At Jewish Wedding\" class=\"wp-image-47671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1122_JOD05608-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1122_JOD05608-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1122_JOD05608-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1122_JOD05608-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1122_JOD05608-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1122_JOD05608.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"47672\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2078_ABC02575-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"Biodegradable Head Coverings Provided At Jewish Wedding\" class=\"wp-image-47672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2078_ABC02575-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2078_ABC02575-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2078_ABC02575-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2078_ABC02575-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2078_ABC02575-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2078_ABC02575.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> PC: Aaron Collett Photography <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commonly during traditional Jewish weddings, guests are required\/encouraged to cover themselves! Male guests typically cover their heads with a skullcap (traditionally known as a yarmulke), and women use lace head coverings. Best of all? The bride and groom usually provide the head coverings for their guests!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just take a look at this Real Bride and her groom who provided the cutest compostable head coverings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chuppah<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think we all remember that scene where Luke in Gilmore Girls gave Lorelei a Chuppah for her wedding! Well, let\u2019s read about the significance of this beautiful tradition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chuppah is a very important (and gorgeous!) aspect of most Jewish wedding ceremonies. Not only do the vows, ring exchange, and Ketubah blessing happen underneath, but it also represents the life and home that the couple will build together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens leading up to the Chuppah is important as well though! Typically, the groom\u2019s parents walk him down the aisle, and then the bride\u2019s parents follow. They then proceed to stand underneath the chuppah during the ceremony with the bride, groom, and rabbi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Blessings of Kiddushin (betrothal)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"47674\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1354_JOM05733-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"Photos Of Wine Glasses During A Jewish Wedding\" class=\"wp-image-47674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1354_JOM05733-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1354_JOM05733-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1354_JOM05733-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1354_JOM05733-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1354_JOM05733-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1354_JOM05733.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"47675\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1452_JOM06019-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Of Bride Drinking From A Ceremonial Wine Glass During A Jewish Wedding Ceremony Wearing A Wedding Gown Called Deliliah By Maggie Sottero\" class=\"wp-image-47675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1452_JOM06019-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1452_JOM06019-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1452_JOM06019-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1452_JOM06019-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1452_JOM06019-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1452_JOM06019.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">  PC: Aaron Collett Photography  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing wine is another integral part of Jewish weddings and two cups are used in the marriage ceremony. They drink from the first cup during the blessings, and then they drink from the second cup after the blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sheva B&#8217;rachot: Seven Blessings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This blessing begins over a cup of wine and focuses on joy, celebration, and the power of love! These seven blessings are usually read in Hebrew and English and are recited by friends and families (don\u2019t worry you can still do your cheesy Maid of Honor speech at the reception!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the wine is drunk and the ceremony ramps up, peace, joy, and companionship are wished on the bride and groom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bedeken Jewish Wedding Tradition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This wedding tradition usually happens before the wedding and represents modesty. During this ceremony the groom \u201cveils\u201d the bride which signifies his love for her inner beauty (awe).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The groom and his male family members also make a procession around the bride sitting on her throne and celebrate her during the ceremony. Sounds ideal, right?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Psst\u2026<\/em> Take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/modest-wedding-dresses\">Modest Wedding Dresses<\/a> to wear during this ceremony and your wedding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Giving Out The Rings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as we love a good diamond, in Jewish culture, the classic gold band is preferred during the marriage ceremony (stunning)! This is because gold is \u201ceverlasting and beautiful\u201d \u2013 just like your marriage will be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This wedding band is given under the chuppah and is meant to be worn every day afterward on the right index finger of the bride. After this, congratulations!
