How They Met | R5 Event Design’s very own Liza and Raviv first met each other online. After many long conversations over the phone and through text message, the two decided to finally meet in person. Neither huge football enthusiasts, Liza and Raviv ironically ended up attending a football game for their first date. The two had an incred- ible time, laughing and getting to know one another. The Ceremony, Reception & Decor | As the bride and groom of an established decor company, Liza and Raviv took it upon themselves to ship cherry blossoms, branches and silk florals from Canada to Israel to complete the look for their magical garden elopement under the stars. To reflect the tropical outdoor setting, the couple placed a ro- bust chuppah composed of cascading white orchids, white wisteria and plenty of greenery at the centre of their ceremony. At the reception, clear skies, a full moon and string lights enhanced the ambience giving it an enchanting glow. The venue, Gan Vradim—translated to “Garden of Roses”—couldn’t have been a more appropriate location. 127
