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 do not know, but would you like me to pass on the question to my uncle the rabbi?

Thanks for the offer. It's looking like I'm getting a lot of "how to make your own" advice, and I'm guessing rental/purchase information is likely pretty local or online, one or the other. But if the topic happens to come up, do let me know- my friends tend to come from certain subsets of the Jewish world, after all...
