wedding canopy
Ceremony's overhead shelter
A wedding canopy is a decorative covering held over the couple during a marriage ceremony.
The term most often refers to the chuppah in Jewish weddings—a cloth supported by four poles symbolizing the home the couple will build together.
Other traditions use similar structures: They exchanged vows beneath a flower-draped wedding canopy.
