I believe that she would want a Yichud room. I had never seen this until recently.
And the most traditional of chuppahs is four poles that hold up a tallis (or tallit). That is the prayer shawl that men wear and now, in reform and possibly conservative synagogues (help me here...I'm not as familiar with conservative traditions) women now wear them as well.
A chuppah can be as simple or as elegant as the bride and groom (or the people footing the bill) want it to be. The ones here are amazing. But the chuppah is not only the starting of a new family, the chuppah will (hopefully) shield and shelter the new couple. And the parents are not excluded from this picture. Although they are not directly under the chuppah they stand next to it. Hopefully this signifies the parents' blessings and support.
(And just know that when Ellebud is standing up there...I'll be the one sobbing with joy. I'm a sucker for a happy beginning.)
