In traditional weddings, a tallit has often been used for the wedding chuppah. The hand painted tallit created at the Artist's Studio is oversized and particularly well-suited as a wedding chuppah. All ranges of colors can be chosen, and in one wedding flowers and vines were used instead of stripes. One tallit featured painted rainbows and clouds because the couple became engaged in a hot air balloon.
In the Sephardic tradition, the tallit is wrapped around the bride and groom during the ceremony, a beautiful practice which many modern couples are adopting. The tallit can also be worked to coordinate with the chuppah's colors and symbols.
The Artist's Studio has also made smaller examples for B'nai Mitzvot, and young boys and girls are excited to have some design input that makes their ceremonies much more personal.
