Dreaming of a flower-filled chuppah, elegant tables and a henna worthy of the Arabian Nights? Here are the big decor trends we see rising for Jewish weddings in 2027, from the ceremony to the party, with practical ideas to adapt them to your style and budget.
The chuppah, the centrepiece of the decor
The chuppah is the heart of the ceremony: it is what your guests will photograph the most. Current trends:
- The lush floral chuppah: cascades of roses, hydrangeas and greenery spilling over the posts. It remains the firm favourite.
- The draped chuppah: white or ivory voile floating in the breeze, perfect for an outdoor or seaside ceremony.
- The rustic wooden arch: a natural boho style, with pampas grass and dried flowers.
- The tallit chuppah: a grandfather's or father's prayer shawl stretched above the couple, for a touch of emotion and heritage.
- The minimalist chuppah: four slender posts, simple fabric and a single bouquet. Elegant and often more affordable.
Our tip: choose your chuppah according to the venue. Outdoors, plan a stable structure and a backup option in case of rain or wind.
The tables: elegance and personal touches
After the ceremony, the tables set the tone for the reception:
- Alternating tall and low centrepieces, to add height without getting in the way of conversation.
- White, gold and sage green, a timeless palette that works both indoors and outdoors.
- Candles galore: hurricane lamps, candelabras and floating candles for a warm atmosphere in the evening.
- Bilingual French-Hebrew menus, a lovely nod to families coming from Israel.
- Tables named after cities in Israel (Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Eilat) or places that matter to the couple.
The henna: the Orient in style
In Sephardic and North African families, the henna is a celebration in its own right, and its decor has its own codes:
- Rich tones: gold, burgundy, emerald and fuchsia.
- Cushions, rugs and poufs to create an Oriental lounge corner.
- Lanterns and drapes for soft lighting.
- A throne for the bride and groom, often the big photo moment.
- Decorated henna trays, with candles and flowers, carried during the ceremony.
The details that make the difference
- Personalised kippot with the couple's names and the wedding date, presented in a pretty basket at the entrance.
- The ketubah on display on an easel after the ceremony: more and more couples choose an illustrated ketubah, designed as a work of art.
- Cold sparklers for the couple's entrance or the arrival of the wedding cake.
- Sugared almonds and guest favours in the wedding colours.
- An original guestbook: a large-format photo or a canvas that guests sign.
How to adapt the trends to your budget
- Focus on the chuppah and the entrance: they are the most photographed spots.
- Reuse the flowers from the chuppah on the cocktail tables.
- Choose candles over flowers to dress a large room for less.
- Pick seasonal flowers, cheaper and fresher.
