Chuppahs for Stunning Jewish Weddings

A chuppah is the wedding canopy beneath which a Jewish couple exchanges their vows for the ceremony. Traditionally, the couple is joined beneath the structure by the rabbi and their parents. The chuppah represents the couple’s new home, symbolized by four poles to outline the structure and a cloth covering. Sometimes a tallit is used as the cloth covering or added to an existing canopy. It is a beautiful way to honor tradition and create a focal point for the ceremony. There are countless ways to create the chuppah of your dreams – from classically draped structures to birch, bamboo or copper pipe poles to flower-covered designs. We’ve showcased some of our favorite stunning chuppahs in our collection.

Classic Draped Chuppahs

Traditional chuppahs frequently make use of fabric.

Alexandra & Brian’s wedding at River Farm had that early summer, just-gathered feeling that never tries too hard but still feels completely considered. The palette stayed soft. Think pastel wildflowers with a little movement, nothing too tight or overly styled. Everything felt natural to the setting.⁣
⁣
The ceremony unfolded under the big tree with an arch that felt like it had grown there, loose and garden-inspired in shades of pale pink, light blue, cream, and lavender. It set the tone for the entire day.⁣
⁣
For the reception, long tables were filled all the way down with milk glass, blue mason jars, and pieces of depression glass, each one holding a slightly different mix of flowers. It created that full, abundant look that makes a space feel warm and inviting, while still leaving room for everything the evening needed to hold.⁣
Personal, relaxed, and quietly layered in a way that lets the setting - and the people in it - shine.⁣

It’s planning season for the Scout Guide launch party, and we couldn’t be more excited. 💃🏻

Any guesses on what we’ll see this year? 🤔

There is something especially beautiful about bringing soft garden flowers into a space like St. Francis Hall. The historic stone walls have a certain weight to them, and loose, romantic florals create a lovely contrast that keeps the room from feeling too formal.⁣
⁣
For Marina & Kosta’s wedding, the goal was to make the reception feel like a garden had quietly taken over the hall. We designed lush arrangements in peach, cream, and fresh greens that felt natural and abundant on the tables. Against the warm tones of the room and the glow of candlelight, the flowers softened the space and made the entire evening feel relaxed, welcoming, and full of life.⁣

Easter may fall at a different time every year, but one thing`s for sure, once it passes, wedding season is officially HERE! We couldn`t be more excited for the beautiful weddings, galas, and celebrations coming up this month. And spring flowers? Absolute favorites. Always⁣
