the bridal canopy, in Hebrew it literally means "that which covers or floats." The bride and groom stand under the huppah, which signifies a home or a shelter, at a Jewish wedding ceremony to exchange vows. The huppah is supported by four posts -- sometimes it’s stationary and sometimes four honored guests hold it up. Between the poles hangs anything from an elaborate arrangement of flowers and greenery to a simple tallis (prayer shawl) that belongs to someone of special importance to the couple, or to the groom himself. Some couples find a special fabric and make the huppah themselves. Some say the huppah hearkens back to the tents used by nomadic ancestors. Others say it is symbolic of the happy home in which the new couple will dwell. There are no special requirements for a huppah; it’s a matter of personal taste and style.
