beach wedding arbor

An arbor, arch or canopy is a popular choice at beach weddings. It helps to define the space and acts as a beautiful focal point for the ceremony to take place under.  Hiring a basic frame is probably the easiest way to go, especially if its a destination wedding. But the decoration can turn the ordinary to the extrordinatry and really make a personal style statement! Here are a few gorgeous ideas to get you thinking...

Plenty of colour! Use bright colourful tulle to decorate.

Classic - all white

Say it with shells. Large clam shells line the aisle while strings of delicate Capiz shells hang from the canopy.

Crazy with craft! This arbor was covered in handmade paper flowers, pin wheels and even kites!

Or for something a little more simple just mark the space with some tropical flowers like these Birds of Paradise. Pic via Aloha Island Weddings
