Sure, you envisioned your wedding dress...
but your wedding canopy?

Few things are as personal as a wedding: an event where you and your partner share your vision for your lives together with friends and family. Of course, while your chuppah will represent your future home, it can also symbolize the distinctive backgrounds and paths that brought you together.

Married just a few years ago, Traci understands the significance of such a special heirloom. For that reason, she will collaborate with you to create something that is a true representation of your relationship - a canopy rich in heritage yet utterly modern.

 

The easiest, and most special, part of your wedding planning

Here's how we work:

• First, you'll need to fill out our Canopy Q&A, letting us know about your relationship, your vision for your wedding and your dreams for the future.
• Then, we'll ask you to send photos or scans of the heirlooms/items that you would like to include in the chuppah
• Next, we'll set up a one-on-one conversation that lets Traci know more about who you are and what you want
• Traci sketches out three (3) different options for your chuppah, with short descriptions for each
• You choose one option, send your desired items and Traci begins sewing! She will send one round of photos during development, and then a second round of photos once the chuppah is close to complete.

 

Don't fret if your materials are a bit frayed; Four Branches is happy to help you restore cherished heirlooms and then incorporate them into your canopy.

Additionally, we can ship your chuppah to the location of your choice, store it in an archival box for long-term preservation and label it with your and your husband's names, event date and location.

 

What to include in your wedding canopy.

The sky's the limit when it comes to what you can include in your canopy. From family mementos to kitschy items from your relationship, we've seen it all! Here are a few ideas for inspiration:

• Mom's wedding dress (sure, you hoped you'd wear it... but what is up with all those buttons?!)
• Your mother-in-law's veil (eek... how to explain you're not the veil type?)
• Your father's pocket square (which he'd otherwise be using to wipe away his tears at your ceremony)
• Your grandfather's tallis (passed down from his father back in the 1920s)
• The napkin from the restaurant where your future husband proposed (with or without your lipstick mark!)
