Wedding arbor/arch

View quoted message

Very nice!!!

I knew I wanted a backdrop for our ceremony, but something that we could easily move from our ceremony and then expand it and put it behind our Head table at the reception. I also knew I wanted it to be super light and easy to put together and take apart! We got photography backdrop poles, sheer white curtain panels, string fairy lights, and faux flowers, all from Amazon! I had a vision in my head of what I wanted, but it turned out even better than I thought it would!😊

Not really an arch but we're using two decorated podiums and pedestals that will be on each side of us during the ceremony. It will then be reused for the ends of the head table during the reception.

It's something along the lines of this (the ones on the podium closer to our view, not the arch in the background)

My fiancé is handy and has made us a hexagon arbour for our small ceremony outside this year. And we’ll attach artificial flower arrangements that I made. I like Amelia’s idea of waiting until this wedding season is over to see if people are selling. Our plan is to sell ours afterwards so I’m sure there will be more! Also, if either of you are handy, he made ours for about $40 after just doing a quick google search for instructions!

View quoted message That’s so cool and good ideas! Thank you!

I bought this second hand, but it was made by the previous owner. It's a metal frame and the books all have holes drilled through to thread them on.



We're going to use it indoors only, because the only thing heavier than 150 books is 150 soggy books if it rains.
You could reach out to local craftsmen or wait until after wedding season to see what comes up in the second hand wedding yardsales on Facebook.
