Question in Preparation for My Sister's Wedding

 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...

Check hardware stores and some of the better-outfitted art stores for nice decorative knobs/cornices.

If you wind up using dowels and don't want people to have to hold them, see if you can scrounge up some flag stands to anchor the dowels.
