When love meets creativity, you get Hofit & Ben’s unforgettable wedding. Set against the dreamy backdrop of Italy, this wedding was equal parts over-the-top romance and whimsical magic. Hofit poured her heart and artistic soul into every detail. From designing the stationery to pulling off a luxury celestial theme that would have Baz Luhrmann himself applauding, she was the bride, the planner, and the creative director of her own fairytale. But let’s rewind to the big day. Guests jetted in from all corners of the globe to witness this spectacular union. Oh, and did we mention the couple’s adorable dogs were also present? Because yes, even the pups got a passport stamp for this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
If you're having a destination wedding, definitely go visit the venue in person so that you can plan better. Hire people you would love to spend the most important day of your life with. It's so important! We had vendors we just loved who made us smile every second we were around them.
Hofit & Ben
If there’s one thing Hofit & Ben’s wedding vibe wasn’t, it’s subtle. Over-the-top? Yes. Royal and romantic? Definitely. Whimsical and fairytale-like? Absolutely. From start to finish, the event was sprinkled with luxury celestial touches that brought Paolo Sebastian’s dreamy collections and Baz Luhrmann’s iconic movie moments to life. Think Once Upon a Dream meets The Great Gatsby. The romantic quotes were a charming surprise, and the guests couldn’t stop gushing about the magic of it all. Hofit & Ben pulled off a happily-ever-after that felt straight out of a movie, complete with fireworks so incredible they put Disneyland to shame. Let’s not forget the unforgettable moments, like the champagne tower and the bouquet toss from a balcony!
The soundtrack to this Italian fairytale was just as magical as the decor. Hofit & Ben opted for three live bands instead of a DJ, creating an eclectic blend of music that kept the party alive all day and night. The Krystal Kuartet violinists, fresh off performing at Ed Westwick’s wedding, added elegance with their strings. Israeli singer Dor Shimon serenaded guests during the ceremony, while Brazilian-Italian powerhouse Claudston Cosra and his band brought their signature energy to the reception.And the pièce de résistance? The couple’s first dance to Lana Del Rey’s “Young & Beautiful.” It was a nod to their love of The Great Gatsby, beautifully choreographed and deeply emotional, a moment guests are still talking about and who can blame them?
I really wanted to create a unique touch to our wedding and used my creative skillset to draw and design all our wedding and pre-wedding stationery and wedding invitations!
