DIY bamboo arch?

Alicia, on October 7, 2012 at 11:45 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 5

So we are having a beach DW in Florida. While there are some things (like the beach house venue, the awesome caterer, and my fabulous dress) that I am willing to spend big bucks on, flowers & decor are not high on my list. I would love to have a bamboo arch/chuppah, but I can't see spendiing the $300 dollars vendors are asking just to rent one.

Does anyone have experience with DIY bamboo arches? I've looked at Joann, Hobby Lobby, & online but can't find any poles at a reasonable price. Where did you find the bamboo poles? Any tips or advice?

    Hi I am doing a beach wedding myself. I was looking for the same thing. Someone suggested the home depot having some form of bamboo or just using bamboo from trees I see lol.

    However, it may be easier to rent it. I saw an add on craigslist where the rental company was renting one for 250. I was going to go with it, then found out I am not allowed arches or canopies on the beach I am doing my ceremony on. Also no petals. Smiley sad

    Good luck

    I did my wedding on the beach, we originally were going to rent a bamboo and cloth chuppa, but our rental company had these "feather flags" that were WAY cheaper and really cool. They look great in the pics too! Just an alternative idea~
