Attn Jewish Brides: Chuppah Question

Where are you getting your chuppah if your hall doesn't have one? Has anyone ever made one?

remeber if you make it, it has to have a certain amount of poles- i think 4 or 6. and it has to have a covering. you would need to ask your officiant what would make it a legal chuppah. we are using the gazebo at the hall.

Please FM me the details.

I was thinking of some metal poles or pvc pipe with some sort of mounting plate and some brackets or elbows. I did a search for jewish fabrics that wasn't too promising but I'm going to try different words. Then I saw some just covered in tulle that looked nice. I thought if I made it with nice fabric, I could use the fabric for a pillow to save it.

The chuppa has to have four posts and a covering. The covering doesn't really need to be of any specific fabric, you can use what you want. We're getting the chuppa from our florists LA Blossom.
