Sarah Merians Photography & Video Company captures some of the most sophisticated and fun Bar and Bat Mitzvahs around and we couldn’t wait to share this enchanting Bat Mitzvah they had the pleasure to photograph.
The Bat Mitzvah girl’s name is Eden so “Garden of Eden” was chosen as the theme that came to life with elaborate flower arrangements, gorgeous table-scapes, amazing details and a few apples to tempt guests.
The venue was The Grove in Cedar Grove, New Jersey.
Eden read from the Torah at an evening Havdalah service at the venue

Dad Jeff surrounded by his beautiful daughters. Eden’s dress was from Gotham. Older sister Miranda’s dress was from Jacqueline and sister Riley and Daisy’s dresses (the little girls) were custom designed by Mom Lisa

The pink, green and yellow color palette started with this beautiful topiary which held the escort cards
As guests entered the room they were greeted by Eden flanked by colorful butterflies
Exotic flowers and hanging ivy were part of the decor
The rich floral arrangements in jewel tones really popped on the apple green embroidered linen with raffia place mats
The scents of nature brought indoors with candlelight, moss and orchids that covered the base of the trees
Butterfly menus flew onto each place setting
