Does she want a Yichud room? That's one of my favorite customs of Jewish weddings. I really like the emphasis in Judaism on the couple being a separate entity from their families of origin.
One wedding I attended, the chuppah was covered by the bride and groom's fathers' tallits (prayer shawls). Simple, elegant, and meaningful.
