Belle Chic Photo Shoot - Going Vogue
Photo Shoot of the Belle Chic Canopy in San Diego California. Lana and Ian worked with some (obviously) great professionals but I will let them say more about that. I can't help to note that our model, Emily, looks absolutely gorgeous! Besides our beautiful model she is ALSO our newest designer starting our New York branch of Arc de Belle. Welcome to Emily and Cameron! We're wishing you tons of success!
Our chief designer hard at work
Have we ever mentioned that, with the exception of three sets, all of our collections have been designed and created by our Arc de Belle top designer, Lana Belle? Here is a photo of her creating one of our first sets, the Villa Adrianna Collection. The back drop is beautiful Temecula, California. I found this photo the other day and wanted to share it.

A Chuppah by any other name.........
Chuppah, Hupah, Chupah, Chuppa, Huppah, Huppa, Hoopa, Hoopah, Chuppot - there seem to be a thousand different ways that people spell "chuppah" . . . . but however you personally spell the word - what exactly is a chuppah and what is it's significance?
Judaism 101 states: "The bride and groom stand beneath the chuppah, a canopy held up by four poles, symbolic of their dwelling together and of the husband's bringing the wife into his home. The importance of the chuppah is so great that the wedding ceremony is sometimes referred to as the chuppah."
Wikipedia states: "[T]he chuppah is a canopy traditionally used in Jewish weddings. It consists of a cloth or sheet, sometimes a tallit, stretched or supported over four poles. . . A chuppah symbolizes the home the couple will build together. Chuppah literally means a canopy or covering."
Because of the importance of this wedding canopy or chuppah, Arc de Belle is pleased to offer a variety of chuppahs for the jewish bride and groom. Visit http://weddingchuppahrentals.com/ and first click the "Collection" tab and then "Chuppahs and Canopies" to see photos of the various chuppahs created with the Jewish bride and groom in mind. All chuppahs offered by Arc de Belle come with a chuppah covering. However, if you would like to use your tallit, or any other family heirloom as your chuppah covering, please feel free to speak to your Arc de Belle designer regarding your options.
We have found that many couples who are not jewish also like to use a wedding canopy because of both their beauty and the added advantage of providing shade for the bride and groom during their wedding ceremony.
