Huppah

One of my closest friends, Fiana is Jewish and she just recently got engaged. Very exciting! This got me thinking about Jewish weddings and some of the traditions associated. I love the significance of the huppah: as it "represent(s) the home that bride and groom are establishing together". 


I also love the imagery of the arch for beach weddings (mine...one day). I think that even couples who aren't Jewish can incorporate a huppah because of it's significance. So I searched online and found some pretty unique huppahs/arches to show you.


"What to Expect From a Jewish Wedding" is awesome as it goes over every aspect of a Jewish wedding and features a really beautiful flowery huppah.
