Decorating a wedding arch help!

I had planned to decorate our wedding arch like this but am having such a hard time figuring out the fabric and flowers. We DIYed like 98% of our wedding but this last little bit is stressing me out! Did anyone just not decorate the arch? The picture was my inspiration. Our arch comes with the venue and is a really pretty dark wood color but is plain. I’d like to dress it up but am completely lost! Also, we didn’t hire a florist because I made our bouquets and centerpieces.
Any advice would be much appreciated 💕

You could try buying some garland and wrapping it around the arch

You could use a floral cage arranger to create an arrangement that can be attached to the arch. I'll be doing that for column arrangements for the pretty pergola at our venue! The venue owner turned me onto the idea.

Hi there Jennifer
You can totally DIY your arch with some material and flowers.
Like Sara mentioned, you could utilize floral foam cages to make arrangements and attach to the arch.
On Pinterest, there are a ton of DIY guides on how to create a pretty arch. You should check some of these ideas out for inspiration
Is the photo you shared how you would like it to look? Is this your inspiration picture?

Thank you all for your ideas! It really helped! I DIYed the majority of our wedding decor but was really overwhelmed by the arch I think I’m going to try it and see what happens!

Flower Farm dot com has great prices on garland. I am planning to order eucalyptus garland from them to use for my wedding.
I also have been looking through several local facebook wedding resale groups. Hoping I can find fabric for my arbor but I may just use lace curtains off ebay that I found for cheap.
I read earlier that about 10 yards should be enough fabric to do most arbors. Someone also mentioned they purchased a bolt of chiffon from efavormart for a decent price.
And if you're not opposed to the foam flowers, you could always DIY your own flower arrangement for the arbor in advance. I ordered samples from Ling's Moments and I am hoping they don't disappoint!
Good luck!
