How to Incorporate Arbors Into Your Fall Wedding
2
Say Your Vows
Saying your vows under an arbor is one of the
most common uses of arbors in weddings.
Arbors are portable and can be made out of almost
any type of material, so they can be transported
or constructed inside a building or outside.
A decorated arbor is just the thing to customize
a wedding and give it a celebratory feeling.

Photograph Station
People often use arbors to designate special
areas in their wedding, like a photograph area.
An arbor for photos can be a special place for
the wedding party to take pictures and can
provide a lovely backdrop.
A photo arbor can also be for guests to take fun
pictures of themselves with the bride and groom
to remember the special occasion. Often people
use funny or silly props to make the station more
exciting.

Signing the Guestbook
It can be hard to spot the guest book at a
wedding, so using a noticeable marker like an
arbor will help guests remember to sign in.
This is a useful technique if you need your
guests addresses for thank you notes
Another fun idea is to use the arbor as the
actual guestbook and provide notecards and a way
to attach the message to the arbor itself.
5
Designate a Dining Area
Bookend buffet tables with arbors designed to
hold necessary items like napkins and silverware.
In a similar way, use a specially decorated arbor
to hold drinks like coffee and punch.
If you build it sturdy enough, an arbor outfitted
with shelving can also be the perfect place for a
wedding cake.
6
Decorate with Flowers
A wicker or wooden arbor can be decorated with
your wedding flowers just as easily as chairs or
the aisle in a church.
You can buy the flowers fresh or use silk
flowers. Decorating an arbor is easy with either.
If you like to garden and are planning your
wedding ahead of time, try growing vines up the
arbor yourself. Ivy and Creeping Charlie can
cover an arbor in a short amount of time with the
proper care.

Night Weddings
Arbors make night weddings much less hazardous,
and they lend a magical air to the occasion.
Sunset and night weddings on the beach are
particularly popular and that glow youre looking
for can easily be provided by tasteful Christmas
lights.
Lights can be woven into your arbors and turned
on at a later time as well. That way if your
reception runs over into the evening, youll be
prepared.
8
Give it a Personal Touch
The best thing about arbors is that there are
many ways to decorate them. Theres no limit to
what you can do.
Vintage weddings are especially popular right
now, and antique arbors with lightly faded paint
are just the thing to set the right tone and
mood.
Weave in flowers, tulle, or paint your arbor. It
doesnt matter, just as long as it reflects your
unique style.
9
Reuse Your Arbor
Some people discard their arbors after their
wedding, but if you want to keep yours, there are
lots of way to reuse them in and around your
house and yard.
If your house has a yard, an arbor can be the
first addition to your new garden or patio area.
Also, depending on how large your arbor is, you
can bring it inside your house and refurbish it
with shelving. That way, you can use it as a
bakers rack, a bookshelf, or even a small
computer desk.

Have an Elegant Wedding
The most important thing is to enjoy your wedding
knowing that everything was just like you wanted
it.
Arbors can make your wedding fun, elegant, and
entirely customized.
However, you shouldnt stress out about your
decorations. Everything will come together in the
end. Focus on your happy day, and make memories
to last a lifetime. Http//www.fifthroom.com
