CEREMONIAL WEDDING HUPPAH

GuildWorks ~ Architecture of the Air, presents a unique modern example of a Huppah (or Chuppah), which traditionally is setup as the alter during a Hebrew wedding ceremony, intended to symbolize the home that the couple will build together. Traditionally a Huppah, consists of a cloth roof, sometimes a tallit (sacred shaw), stretched by four poles. Our modern interpretation is a beautiful and elegant presentation for both traditional and modern weddings.

According to Wikipedia:
A chuppah (Hebrew: חוּפָּה‎, pl. חוּפּוֹת, chuppot, literally, "canopy" or "covering"), also huppah, is a canopy under which a Jewish couple stands during their wedding ceremony.  It consists of a cloth or sheet, sometimes a tallit, stretched or supported over four poles, or sometimes manually held up by attendants to the ceremony. A huppah symbolizes the home that the couple will build together. While a Jewish marriage is still considered valid in the absence of a huppah, a huppah is still considered a basic requirement for a Jewish wedding.

The huppah represents a Jewish home symbolized by the cloth canopy and the four poles. Just as a huppah is open on all four sides, so was the tent of Abraham open for hospitality. Thus, the huppah represents hospitality to one's guests. This "home" initially lacks furniture as a reminder that the basis of a Jewish home is the people within it, not the possessions. In a spiritual sense, the covering of the huppah represents the presence of God over the covenant of marriage. As the kippah served as a reminder of the Creator above all, (also a symbol of separation from God), so the huppah was erected to signify that the ceremony and institution of marriage has divine origins.

The groom enters the huppah first to represent his ownership of the home on behalf of the couple. When the bride then enters the huppah it is as though the groom is providing her with shelter or clothing, and he thus publicly demonstrates his new responsibilities toward her.

The Huppah is only one offering GuildWorks presents for Weddings and Sacred Events.
