When Ava Friedmann and Michael Henein were married, they used a tablecloth from Ms. Friedmann’s grandmother as a huppah, or ritual canopy held above the couple in a Jewish wedding.

Though the ceremony incorporated Jewish traditions, the couple did not have a free-standing huppah.

“We felt it would be hubristic to design a huppah, itself a piece of architecture,” within the building, Mr. Esocoff said.

This setup, he explained, “met the, albeit loosened, requirements of a huppah for a Jewish wedding, and highlighted our parents, who are pillars in our lives.”

Waiting at a huppah draped with flowing white fabric was their officiant, Lisa Edwards, rabbi emerita at the Beth Chayim Chadashim synagogue in Los Angeles.
