On the south side of the massive banyan tree, the ceremony was decadently set with a 10-foot square and 10-foot tall chuppah as the central focus. A chuppah is a canopy traditionally used in Jewish wedding ceremonies to symbolize the home to be built and shared by the newlyweds. This chuppah was ornate, every piece creatively and carefully placed. Each of the four support stanchions had natural birch branches and natural curly willow branches. The top of the canopy held white hydrangea, white, blush, champagne and ivory roses and touches of white dendrobium orchids. Spotlights of purple and blush lit up the chuppah to create the most peaceful, intimate evening.
