Jewish
Wedding Ceremony Order of Service
Part 3 of 7
Under the Chuppah
An important part of the Jewish wedding ceremony order of service is having guests take their seats for the Jewish ceremony under the Chuppah wedding canopy.
Depending on the planning, the Chuppah wedding canopy can be designed by the florist which is usually stationary and in place. If the bride and groom plan for a more traditional Jewish ceremony Chuppah wedding canopy, then it can be walked down the aisle as part of the processional. Having a personalized Chuppah wedding canopy can become a family heirloom and past down to the next generation for their Jewish ceremony under the Chuppah.
The bride and groom then take part in two marriage ceremonies under the Chuppah. It symbolizes the home that the bride and groom will make together. The Chuppah wedding canopy is open on all four sides to show that their home will be a place for guests to visit -- like Abraham's tent in the days of the Bible.The fabric that makes up the Canopy is not supported in the center or the sides; merely connected to the four poles.
