Happy Chuppahs

In light of my last post about stress, feelings and bridal breakdown- especially in regards to making everyone happy planning an interfaith ceremony, I want to lighten it up a bit with an interfaith detail that makes me heck-a-happy: Chuppahs. I wouldn't get this beautiful detail in my ceremony if I didn't get to incorporate Mr. Thimble's culture and be married by a Rabbi, right?  So while I decompress, I thought I'd share some Chuppah, and general ceremony, decor inspiration:
Homespun quilts and flowing ribbons (and glowing bride):
Ethereal, simple, beach! (this was my alterna-wedding):
More ethereal pure white sheet and sprays of flowers, but wait! Doves, sunset (and a white linen suit):
Earthy, heirloom blanket and more ribbon action:

And some jar votives. Dangling daintily. A wee sneak peek at some Chuppa decor action for the Thimble nuptials.

Happy Friday!
Is there a focal point for your ceremony decor?
