Jewish and Japanese Culture Meld in Chic Wedding Day at The Ebell of Los Angeles

Kirie Stromberg and Noah Schechter celebrated their wedding last November at The Ebell of Los Angeles. The couple’s rabbi performed the ceremony underneath a lush floral chuppah, complete with hanging persimmons and pomegranates. These fruits served as symbols of Kirie’s Japanese roots and Noah’s Jewish culture, respectively, and created memories of their nuptials that will last forever. During the ceremony, two wine glasses belonging to Noah’s grandparents were used, marking the importance of family and tradition. Afterward, guests were treated to a cocktail hour in the garden area, where they enjoyed traditional Jewish klezmer music before entering a majestic ballroom inside the venue for the reception. The celebration’s design was itself a celebration—of bright colors, magenta, bright oranges, gold and green, instilling the event with the vibrancy of Southern California style. The interior of The Ebell provided a vintage aesthetic, which embodies the taste and style of the couple, as Noah works in the television industry. For her bridal look, Kirie wore an off-the-shoulder gown by Lihi Hod together with a full-length veil; her bridesmaids wore dresses that suited their individual tastes. During the reception, guests joyfully danced to an 11-piece band, at one point dancing the hora, whereupon they lifted Kirie and Noah, seated in chairs, into the air to celebrate and express their joy.
