SPOTLIGHT 48
BACHENDORF’S
A dusty blue accent color for the kippot, flowers and Bill Levkoff bridesmaid dresses was the natural choice because “Michael says it brings out the blue in my eyes,” the bride explains. The big day included many Jewish traditions: the couple signed their ketubah, the Jewish marriage certificate, before the ceremony, broke the glass before the kiss and became Mr. and Mrs. under a white birch chuppah that featured the bride’s father’s bar mitzvah tallit. “I’m very close with my dad, so it was nice to have something special from him above us during our wedding ceremony,” says Marcy. Both dads also played a spontaneous rendition of “Hava Nagila” on the harmonica during the ketubah signing.
