Wishing you all a happy new year!
Halel and Yishai were married in October. Shortly afterwards, Yishai's mum reached out to ask if I could create a special card for them based on their wedding photos. She also requested that I include the couple's dog, Polly, even though she wasn't actually at the wedding!

I decided to show the young couple under the
chuppah, the canopy used
in Jewish wedding ceremonies. It consists of a cloth or fabric covering, often
beautifully decorated, supported by four poles.
The chuppah symbolizes the couple's new home together - open on all sides to represent hospitality and the welcoming of family and friends. The couple stands under the chuppah during the wedding ceremony, and many key rituals take place there, such as the giving of the ring and the recitation of blessings.
I depicted Halel in her exact wedding dress and carefully recreated Yishai's
pale grey suit, making sure to include the bride's gold necklace and the
groom's silver earring. Polly is nestled between them.
Yishai's mum sent me the lovely picture of them all holding the card, second image from the top, writing, "They love it!"

Cute handmade card, I like they have the dog snuggling between them. Very creative! I wish you all the best in 2026, a happy and healthy New Year! Have a wonderful week!
Polly is one of those large, hairy and friendly dogs that completes a family. The chuppah is usually not wide enough to take all the family, friends, rabbis and pets, but I am glad you found a way to include Polly in the most important event in Halel and Yishai's life.
I appreciate the way you explain and teach about the symbols in the cards such as the chuppah! I'm sure Haley and Yishai were excited about this card. It's lovely and their dog is so cute.
Beautiful card - and I'm so glad that Polly was included. Thank you for explaining the meaning behind the chuppah. xx
That is absolutely beautiful! I just love seeing the photo of them holding it up so proudly too.
Fun photos and card
Happy New Year
🎇much love
Happy New Year!
Congrats to the happy couple! What a beautiful card, they look very happy with it!
Happy New Year! We're still on a bit of a blogging break ourselves but it's always fun to stop by to see what you've been busy creating! So fun to see the "real" couple and their pup holding their card - what a precious treasure for them!
Great card and I love how effortlessly you added their pup. #MMBC
Polly is adorable! She clearly approves of this card, have a wonderful week, and Happy New Year!
