The design
process is a collaboration that reflects your personal colors and most
significant symbols. In some ways I am like an architect designing your house.
The chuppah symbolizes the home you will build together -- open on all four
sides, welcoming from every direction. While I contribute my own artistic
identity, I am committed to creating a chuppah that is yours alone. This design
process encourages couples to focus on the most important part of the wedding,
the ceremony. |

I suggest
sources to search for symbols that reflect your lives. Once you have an idea of
those that are the most meaningful, the colors are chosen from swatches that
you provide, and I begin to work on your design. At that point, I put color on
silk as an example of the vibrancy and energy you can expect from the finished
piece. I like to work with a photo of the couple I am designing for on my
drawing board, as an inspiration. |

There is
always a degree of give and take between couple and artist until the perfect
design is captured, both in spirit and in line. An approved watercolor sketch
of the final design marks the beginning of the actual painting on
silk.
And while most chuppahs that come out of the AWS are
custom-created, there is a small selection of ready-made designs painted and
sewn with the same care and elegance available for purchase.
