Jewish Wedding Canopy (Chuppah) Ceremony to Heirloom Generation to Generation
Today, most couples are perplexed about the Jewish wedding canopy (Chuppah). Where do they get one? How do they make one? What size should it be? In the past and presently, it is either the temple supplying a traditional, over sized tallit or the florist would create a Garden of Eden with flowers and a piece of cloth. Though those options are not bad ones, now it is necessary since couples are seeking more personal other options. More personal, more creative, more modern intertwined with traditional and also affordable. I have researched and discovered that there are not too many companies or artists offering those options, until I was contacted by MP Artworks with an e-Chuppah line. Their promotional tag-line is ‘…elegance you can afford.’They offer beautiful Jewish wedding canopy designs that can compliment a couple on their wedding day when receiving their blessings under the Jewish wedding canopy. Since it is the central focus of all Jewish wedding ceremonies, now a couple can order their very own. After I officiate a Jewish wedding ceremony, I am usually the last to leave the ceremony area other than the catering staff taking down and setting up for the wedding reception while the guests are in another room for the cocktail hour. The beautiful Chuppah, the Jewish wedding canopy, created by the florist is dismantled and where it ends up I am not quite sure. The couple only has the memory of standing under it for their ceremony and memories in their wedding photos. When a couple places the importance of having their very own, it is then part of the them beyond the ceremony. It becomes a family heirloom to be past on from generation to generation. I am touched when a couple includes a family heirloom in their wedding ceremony. Couples today are not aware that they are creating their own heirlooms with their new Kiddush cup and can now include a personalized Jewish wedding canopy. Generations after them will find those ritual items becoming a significant part in their Jewish wedding ceremonies. Below are only a few samples. When you click a design with your computer mouse, it will take you directly to MP Artworks Chuppah designs on their web site. Don't forget the code when you design to purchase for your $50 off!
Chuppot Sizes They offer two sizes - a smaller version at 42" x 72" and a larger one at 72" x 72". Each Chuppah has "extensions" at each corner that can simply be tied to or wrapped around each pole (the smaller version has extra-long extensions to give you more flexibility with regard to the finished size). Because they "print to order" for each client, the products can be easily and affordable personalized (adding in your names and wedding date) and customized (e.g. modify the colors of the design, change the poetic phrase, etc.) to suit your needs. They offer the fastest turnaround in the business (never a rush charge!) and they are just the right size to provide professional customer service yet personal attention to each client and officiant.
