AHAVA GLASS
What a gorgeous idea – have something really beautiful created from the glass that is smashed underfoot at your chuppah.
Jason Blair, the only Jewish glassblower in the country, will provide you with a special glass in your choice of colour (and there are loads to choose from) to use at the chuppah.
Six weeks later, he will present you with a Kiddush cup, vase, mezuzah cover or other artefact blown using the shards from that glass. This is a really special memory of your special day.
