    Pro pics aren't in yet, but there has been a bit of talk on these boards about chuppah design, so I thought I would post a pic from Facebook:

    Our florist ordered birch poles and sunk them in big buckets filled with cement and a PVC pipe. She then covered the buckets with moss and flowers. There are really thin dowels attaching the front and back poles of each side, which have sticky strips on them so that the chuppah doesn't fall off when it's draped over it. The florist charged $600 for the entire thing. My mom made the chuppah herself.

    I love it!! We are still in the process of meeting with florists and figuring out our Chuppah.  The ones I've seen so far are NOT my style at all.  Yours is so beautiful!

    The Chuppah is just beautiful!  Congrats on the wedding and I hope you don't mind if I blatantly steal your Chuppah design!!

    Wow, lovely!!!  This is very similar to what we did -- my wedding was the day after yours, rebecca.

     

    Here's ours (sorry there are people kind of in the way, I don't have pro pics yet either):

    I love it!  We're doing a really similar one, but without the flowers.  Ours will just be birch branches sunken into cement pots, with moss covering the pots.  I need to pick up some fabric for the top of the chuppah, since our florist wants us to supply that piece.  Where did you get your fabric, and what kind did you use?
