The floral chuppah: an emotional ceremony decor
A powerful symbol of wedding ceremonies, the chuppah represents far more than a simple decor: it is a true protective canopy under which the newlyweds exchange their vows. At Iliade Création, based in Carqueiranne in the Var, we design bespoke floral chuppahs in fresh flowers to transform this unique moment into an unforgettable scene. Elegance, refinement and emotion: every creation is designed to reflect your story and the universe of your wedding.
To go beyond the decoration, our guide explains everything about the Jewish chuppah and how the ceremony unfolds.
Whether you want a traditional, bohemian, romantic or resolutely modern chuppah, our florists create bespoke floral arrangements with carefully selected seasonal flowers. We operate throughout the south of France for the delivery and setup of your floral chuppah, particularly for weddings in Provence.
Why choose a floral chuppah for your wedding?
The chuppah is far more than a decorative element: it is a focal point, a visual marker that structures your ceremony and magnifies your photos. Adorned with fresh flowers, drapes and airy fabrics, it creates an immersive and romantic atmosphere that lingers in your guests' minds. It is particularly appreciated for secular ceremonies and symbolic ones.
Fresh flowers bring a living, fragrant and natural dimension that nothing can replace. We work with a wide variety of seasonal flowers: roses, peonies, hydrangeas, eucalyptus, olive, gypsophila, lisianthus, or Mediterranean foliage, to compose decor faithful to your inspirations.
Our chuppah models for rent
To suit every wedding style, we offer two distinct chuppah structures, each providing a singular aesthetic to your ceremony. Also discover our wedding arches if you are hesitating between a chuppah and an arch.
The wooden chuppah: natural and warm
With its authentic charm, the wooden chuppah blends perfectly into rustic weddings, bohemian or held in nature. Its raw material brings an organic touch that pairs ideally with fresh flowers, Mediterranean foliage and muslin drapes. Ideal for a ceremony by the sea, in a garden or in a Var vineyard estate.
The white metal chuppah: elegant and modern
The white metal chuppah appeals to couples seeking a clean, contemporary and refined finish. Its crisp lines and timeless elegance make it the ideal choice for chic weddings, indoor or outdoor ceremonies, or minimalist-style unions. Paired with generous or more delicate floral arrangements, it creates a sober, luminous decor, perfect for a Dolce Vita themed wedding or a 2026 wedding on-trend.
Bespoke floral creations to enhance your chuppah
Each chuppah is dressed according to your wishes, your theme and your colour palette. Whether you dream of timeless white, delicate pastel tones, a terracotta atmosphere, a bohemian spirit or vivid, bold colours, our team designs an arrangement faithful to your universe. For inspiration, browse our wedding moodboard.
- Airy drapes for a soft, romantic effect.
- Muslin canopies light, to create a true cocoon above the newlyweds.
- Satin fabrics for an elegant, luminous finish.
- Corner or cascading floral arrangements depending on the desired look.
- Flowered ceremony aisle as an option to extend the decor up to the chuppah.
For overall harmony, we coordinate your chuppah with all your wedding decoration : centrepieces, bridal bouquet and the floral accessories of your loved ones.
A dried flower option for a lasting decor
For couples wanting a decor that is both aesthetic and lasting, we also offer dried flower arrangements on request. An on-trend, eco-responsible alternative, ideal for keeping a keepsake of your ceremony well after the big day. It is also an excellent choice for a winter wedding, when certain fresh varieties are less available.
Pricing and services for your floral chuppah
The price of a floral chuppah depends on several criteria: the structure model chosen (wood or white metal), the desired floral volume, the type of fabrics and drapes, and the delivery location. Each project being unique, we provide a personalised quote after a discussion with you, in line with your wedding budget.
Structure setup is included in the price. Only delivery is billed in addition, depending on the distance.

Frequently asked questions about our floral chuppahs
The chuppah is traditionally a square structure with four posts topped by a fabric canopy, under which the newlyweds stand during the ceremony. The arch, on the other hand, is an open structure (round, triangular, rectangular or hexagonal) that serves as a visual backdrop without forming a roof. The chuppah creates a more enveloping, solemn effect, ideal for symbolic ceremonies.
The choice depends on the style of your wedding. The wooden chuppah is perfect for a country, bohemian or natural atmosphere, while the white metal chuppah suits chic, modern and minimalist weddings. Our team advises you according to your ceremony venue, your theme and your colour palette.
