A Versatile Wedding Canopy


A wedding this past Saturday featured our latest wedding chuppah constructed of sturdy birch trunks and branches with an elegant sheer canopy top with swagged fabric across the front. Trailing up the trunks are flowering Quince branches (perfect for a March wedding indicating Spring is right around the corner!). Cascading down from the top of the canopy are two floral pieces with a combination of Anna and Virginia roses, dendrobium orchids, green mini and white hydrangeas. It's a beautiful structure to transform any space and is the perfect size! It's also versatile to decorate - imagine hanging glass votives from the inside of the chuppah, or special gobo lighting illuminating the canopy. Or imagine all the other uses for this structure- it's not just for Jewish ceremonies. This can be used to indicate the ceremony area for any type of wedding, indoors or outdoors. It can also be used as a canopy to place lounge furniture under for a chic beach canopy or lounge space in a tented or outdoor wedding.

Having a background in planning, we also understand the need to setup the chuppah in a way that permits the videographers, photographers, and officiants to maneuver around easily. In addition, if our chuppah is to be used in a location that is hosting both the ceremony and reception, we can easily assemble and disassemble the chuppah in a half an hour to transition the event space. It is available for rent and if you're interested please call us at 914.393.2295.

A Grand June Wedding at Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, New York Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs The aisle markers that were used at the ceremony which took place at St. Theresa's Church in Trumbull, CT were repurposed to decorate the mantle and cocktail tables at Trump National Golf Club. It was a good way to get additional use out of the pieces site. Onsite we had replenished these pieces with beautiful hydrangeas, dahlias, roses, bells of ireland, lisianthus and other delicate flowers in the blue/creamy white/green color scheme. The sweetheart table was adorned with a lush draping arrangement of the same flowers including white stock and ruscus. There were 20 centerpieces in total so it was plenty to do half as low arrangements and the other half as tall candelabra centerpieces. It saved the bride some money to do some low instead of all high. The containers/candelabras were rental pieces that the florist provided and setup. In the foyer, a large escort ...

A beautiful June Jewish Wedding at Temple Shaaray Tefila in Bedford Corners, New York Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs Our clients wanted a bright summery wedding look using blue, yellow, green and orange tones. We will post the professional photographers photos as soon as we get a hold of some. The photo on the left is of the chuppah we decorated using the color scheme. The flowers included orange lilies, blue hydrangeas, yellow football mums, hanging amaranthus, yellow snapdragons, and orange roses that open up beautifully! The temple was just breathtaking! You have to see this place to believe it. And with a very lovely reception hall right across the way on the grounds, it makes for the perfect wedding reception site!
