A Bat Mitzvah For A Candy Obsessed Girl

A Bat Mitzvah For A Candy Obsessed Girl

“I Want Candy!” That’s what Brianna Zeiberg said when asked what theme she wanted for her Bat Mitzvah celebration.

The Zeiberg famliy of Westport, Connecticut, celebrated daughter Brianna’s Bat Mitzvah at Temple Shalom with a Havdalah service and a reception immediately following at Mora Mora in Norwalk, Connecticut.

“B Sweet” was the perfect theme for this “candy-obsessed” Bat Mitzvah girl. Guests enjoyed an evening of bright and beautiful colors and candy.

James Grout Photography was the photographer and the rest of the vendor information is listed at the bottom of this story.

Zeiberg Invitation

Her zebra-striped invitation, from Alpine Creative Group, had brightly colored accents and a big “B” set the tone for fun. Notice the colorful gumballs (a hint of her theme!) on the postage stamp from Zazzle!

Zeiberg Service

The Havdalah service took place at Temple Shalom in Norwalk, Connecticut. Brianna did a beautiful job reading from the torah. She wore her late maternal grandfather’s tallis during her Torah portion and later wore a tallis given to her by her paternal grandfather for her havtorah

Brianna’s Mitzvah Style was all about pink! She wore a gorgeous bubble gum pink gown from A Step Ahead with just the right amount of bedazzle to let everyone know that this was her party. Mom Charlene looked beautiful in her dress, also from A Step Ahead
