An arbor is an easy way to personalize an outdoor wedding and define the open space. Whether you’re looking for ideas for a chuppah or a decorated archway to frame your nuptials, there are so many ways to personalize it and make it special.
Pull inspiration from your color palette, theme or season—there are no rules. You could even get creative with different fabrics, florals and textures. Pro tip: Incorporating florals and greenery is an organic way to blend your décor with the natural setting without overpowering it.
