Question in Preparation for My Sister's Wedding

[debka_notion]

 How does one go about finding/buying/making a chuppah?  I'm having a feeling that my sister and her fiance are not real likely to be interested in the tallis option.  I imagine that making one could also just involve some dowels with nails on top and a piece of fabric with loops, but if we did want to buy/rent one, how would we find such a thing?  If we were to make them one, does anyone have any tips? 

My parents sent me the question, and so I in turn am asking you...

I seem to remember the rods falling out of the pockets some on yours- does that sound right to you? I imagine that pockets are prettier than loops, but also harder to make (I'm imagining that if this is going to be a made thing, that Mom and I are the ones most likely to be making it)... The pretty curtain rods idea is a good one- thanks!

I have no idea if they fell out or not, I just know it stayed up and looked nice :p
