An Elegant Mediterranean Beach Wedding with a Rustic Twist

Located on the Mediterranean coast, Caesarea is one of Israel's most popular tourist destinations that combines stunning beaches and a rich history dating from the ancient Phoenician period. Chen and Assaf took full advantage of the town's coastal beauty and had their wedding at a seaside venue, complete with elegant rustic touches. For the bride, the wedding ceremony was a personal favorite, as it took place under a wedding canopy that was lovingly designed and handmade by her mother. To us, though, the highlight was their reception. It had such an enchanting view, with numerous tables laid out facing the sunset under the pinkish sky. Not to mention the rustic details in every corner which made sure that all edges were well-covered. The best part of all was, of course, the beautiful couple who left us swooning with their amorous pictures, looking nothing but deeply in love with one another. Head over below for more pictures and read the touching love story as told by the bride.

A little something from the Bride:

My parents are the founders of the international jewelry brand, Yvel, so I grew up literally surrounded by diamonds and jewelry. Ever since I was a little girl, I had a clear idea of how I wanted my engagement ring to look. Before Assaf proposed, he asked my dad for permission to marry me. Once he got the okay, he then worked alongside my parents to turn my dream wedding ring into reality. This anecdote is symbolic of our entire wedding; my husband and I working together with our families to create a magical, joyous, and unforgettable wedding.The ceremony stands out as the highlight of the wedding for me. It was especially meaningful because we got married under an intricate wedding canopy which my mother designed and made by hand.
