It's Wedding Time

The summer is wedding time and I want to share this chuppah that was made by my friend Judy Kupchan in Chicago for her son's wedding in 2 weeks.

I especially love the pomegranates in the four corners. Pomegranates are a unique symbol of fertility (because of all those little seeds) and this is their season, right at the beginning of the new year!

Notice the use of the image of the Tree of Life. So meaningful and made with love and joy by the mother of the groom!

Good luck and many years of happiness to Noey Kupchan and Shuli Miller!!!

Wedding Canopy

The chuppah or wedding canopy is an extraordinarily meaningful part of the Jewish wedding ceremony. It was a labor of love to design and create this chuppah.

The verse is "Enjoy Happiness with the One You Love all the Days of Your Life" from Ecclesiastes (9:9).

With many blessings for a long life together!

Chuppot

Together, we made this chuppah for one of our daughters. At the moment, we are working on two more chuppot! Sewing can be a truly creative and meaningful way to express yourself.
