Wedding arbor decorations

Kaitlin, on January 17, 2018 at 12:12 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 18

Is anyone having an arbor? If so what are you using to decorate it? I don't have a florist and I'm making the bouquet and centerpieces with silk flowers from hobby lobby. I would love all ideas and suggestions!! PLEASE ALL IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE APPRECIATED

    I found this elegant look for the ceremony. I’m also doing my centerpieces and the garland for the arbor.

    Ohh I like that, how many flowers and greenery do you think that would take? I'd love to make it myself I'm just afraid it'd be more expensive than to buy off of Etsy.

    I’ve been quoted from 175 to 300 dollars for that type of arbor decor. I’m doing something similar but I’m going to use more greenery and bunch cascading flowers on one corner. It will be about $175 or so. I am honestly not sure how youd go about doing this yourself, but try YouTube videos or DIY how tos?

    I looked at buying a plain garland from sams club and it is $125 for 25 ft of garland. Then price of flowers you wann add. It is pricey but the wedding venue I looked at was charging $250 for a flower garland and it was artificial. So doing it on my own would be cheaper and it’ll be real. Though I don’t think you could tell being that high up lol but I would reuse it in the reception

    This is beautiful with the drape and a hint of flowers. A lot cheaper than covering the whole thing in flowers.

    An arbor is definitely one place you can use artificial greenery and flowers. No one other than you two, the officiant and the wedding party will be close enough to tell. You can further confuse the issue by adding just a few fresh flowers, either in florist tubes or you can wire on an arrangement done in a brick of floral foam.

    What type of arbor will you have?

    My venue has a simple arch in front of the garden we're getting married in front of that we're decorating.

    we bought garlands of greens and silk flowers by the stem at hobby lobby to decorate it. it just wasnt in our budget to hire a florist in my area, so we're doing flowers ourselves as well but using real ones. we found almost matching silks for the arch. i wanted it decorated but i dont care as much about them being fake, as long as they look nice. we got three greens garlands with the coupon and spun them together and used floral wire to attach the flower heads from the bunches/stems. we're doing something like this.

    this is the closest to what we're doing that i can find. the arch is black, so we're going to lighten it with some white fabric and then the garland on the front. no words though. lol

    If you don't have a Costco membership, put the word out to friends and family, and maybe someone has one, who could order for you?

    I would use some fabric or tulle and drape it, then add in flowers if you have a very small budget for decor.
