What do I need to get for our conservative ceremony...I know Kiddush cups but I am drawing a blank for the rest TIA!

• Chuppah (either rented or purchased) if the synagogue does not provide it
• Table and tablecloth for under the chuppah if the synagogue does not provide it
• Kosher wine (probably white, since that's less likely to stain than red), and perhaps a decanter for it
• Glass or lightbulb for breaking, and something to put it in (bag or handkerchief) to keep the glass from getting all over the floor
• Kippot and perhaps women's head coverings for guests (if you are providing them)
• Challah (if you are doing ha-motzi)
• Veil with blusher (if you are doing bedeken)
• Bentshers if you will be using them at the reception

Depending on your rabbi, you may also need a plain wedding band (no stones or engraving) for you.  Also depending on your rabbi, you may need some kind of shoulder covering if you are wearing a strapless dress.  You may also want to have programs.  They are not mandatory, but if you have a lot of nonJewish guests, they can be used to explain the various Jewish traditions.
