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 made ours with one length of pretty fabric, several feet of ribbon, and nearly as many feet of Stitch Witchery (http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat483848&PRODID=prd2975). :-) It's now thumbtacked to the ceiling above our bed, as a canopy.

tremontstshul already had poles, thank goodness -- homemade from giant dowels with eye-bolts screwed into the top.
