Sapir Bachar and Morey Talmor have been married since 2006, when they wed in a ceremony at City Hall. They arrived in New York a few months prior from Tel Aviv, and knew almost no one. Afterwards, they had dinner—just the two of them—at Balthazar.

Nine years, two kids, and a move back to Tel Aviv later, the couple decided to marry again—this time, with their family and friends present. “We always wanted to do it ‘properly Jewish,’ with a rabbi and everything,” Bachar, a jewelry designer, tells Vogue.

The setting was an intimate one—their apartment in the city center—and came together quite quickly. Bachar notes they planned the affair with the help of event producer Raz Danon. “With her help as well as the help of the chef doing the catering, we hashed out all the details from plates, to flowers, to food, to table dressings in two weeks, with it all really coming together, dare I say, the morning of,” she says.

Bachar wore a silk satin slip dress from Nili Lotan and a vintage ’90s Jil Sander blazer, paired with The Row leather flip flips and earrings of her own design. “I wanted something super minimal and chic—I was thinking 90’s Gwyneth Paltrow,” she says. Her best friend, Noa Yehonatan, did her makeup.

They were wed by a rabbi on their terrace. Her parents walked her down the aisle where Morey, wearing Lemaire, waited under the chuppah. Meanwhile, her daughter, Tova, served a flower girl. “The ceremony was really when it sort of hit me that we are doing something truly significant,” the bride says. “For me, up until that point I was of the mind that we are having a fun gathering, and are just celebrating our love and relationship with family and friends, plus good food and wine. But it was the ceremony itself that somehow hammered in me this notion of the wedding as a rite of passage, and the ritualistic and spiritual meaning it may hold.”

Afterwards, they enjoyed a long afternoon Mediterranean brunch that lasted into the early evening by Dor Vanger, complete with fish, salads, tiered silver trays of olives, and natural wine. “I highly recommend everyone get married more than once, to the same person,” Bachar says. “It’s a great way to celebrate the changes and shifts of the relationship—and, of course, to celebrate the presence of love in new phases of life.”
