well all you need is a tripod, make sure everything is set to manual including your focus (very important).
Stick your floating subject on a ladder or table or something that will give them height.
Take your shot.
Get everyone out of your shot (so you just have the background) and take a second shot.
Then layer the background image under the one with your subjects and erase the sections of the top layer that you don't want (in this case the ladder that she was standing on and my assistant that was holding up the back part of her dress. The only hard bit is getting the shadowing right. That can involve a bit of selective burning to get it looking natural.
Quite easy when you think about it.

This wasn't a wedding I shot but I did shoot this picture. I was at National Cathedral walking around w/ the wife and this bride was walking after her photoshoot to change and she said "take a picture!" and waved at me. I guess right place at the right time?
This is a wedding I shot. The brother is walking the sister down the isle.
Really tough to pick one. A very good exercise. Not having a lot of time to peruse my inventory, I went with my gut feeling. Those who put in more than one image lost the discipline to edit their shots...an essential skill set as a photographer.
I was CRASHNG a wedding in Tampa, I had my camer with me and the 'friend' who was doing the wedding was watching me from across the Green (out door wedding). He asks me if I am a photographer and have I done weddings. He next sez he was shooting the wedding, his camera is broke and I am IT. Went off to tell the brides mother. I shot the wedding and everyone was happy. Tis shot I took and the bride rmarked she remembered it. Something was bitting her backside and she was trying to see what it was. Talk about a non-posed picture.
