Chuppah Inspiration?

[Miya03]

I''m looking for some chuppah inspiration, since I''m thinking about changing the design of my chuppah. Any pics are greatly appreciated! Here are some of my favorites:

Thanks honey!!! Hopefully I''ll find something that my mom, my budget, and I can all live with!!!

I can''t remember who had them, but if you search Haven''s threads, I do know she had one (which she graciously donated, she''s such a sweetie). Good luck

Hi miya you might want to be careful with that first link my anti-virus flashed up stating there is a trojan there and halted the connection

good luck finding a chuppah

Hi Miya! There are a bunch listed here link and some links to other Jewish stuff. There are tons and tons of chuppah threads on PS if you search. I want to find pics from the fall wedding I just went to with beautiful fall leaves and roses all over the chuppah...but what season are YOU getting married in and what are your colors?

I have seen some pretty amazing (and some pretty tacky) Chuppahs, (i''m not jewish, just a wedding planner so I''ve seen a lot). I feel like so many of them look the same with just white pieces of cloth. My one couple did one that looked so pretty, there was no cloth, just 4 very large (over 6 feet) cherry blossom trees. Then the tops of the trees were arched over, and pulled together. It was so elegant and romantic, very beautiful and impressive with out being "too much". I will try and see if I can find a picture of it for you.

Where are you located? Maybe I could just give you the florists name who did it instead.

I saw one of these in person: www.Ilovechuppahs.com It was amazing and very modern. I was so worried it was going to be tacky but it actually turned out quite nice. Tree''s are a big trend right now. I''ve seen 4 or so in the past week.

Thanks ladies!!

Swimmer: I''m getting married May 22nd in Houston (inside because it will already be quite warm). It is going to be a mostly ivory wedding, with touches of silver, black, and champagne. Very classic. I''m getting married in a country club and there won''t be a lot of room for a huge chuppah, but I want something pretty. The words I keep coming back to are simple, elegant, classic (with a little modern twist), clean, light. Hope that helps!

Nakedfinger: I''m in Houston. I would LOOOOVE to see a pic of that chuppah--I''m part Japanese and grew up in DC so I love cherry blossoms. It may not be possible for me in May but maybe I could use some other flowering tree? That sounds beautiful.

Emeraldlover: Thanks for the link! I''ve seen that pic before and I like it, but I think it''s a little bit too modern compared to the rest of the wedding. But I''m glad you told me since I''ve been wondering whether it really looked good in real life!
