12. White curtain thrown over tree branches
Perhaps the wedding you’re helping to make decor for is heavy on the natural elements in its theme and scheme and you’re looking to incorporate the nature of the location the bride and groom chose as much as possible? Then it sounds like you’d get along very well indeed with the way used two tree branches in the place of the arch and threw a lovely white chiffon curtain over them to create the same kind of framing effect.
13. Curtains hung from a barn doorway
Just in case this concept of using an structure that’s already there in the wedding site and embellishing it to make it look lovely really appeals to you, here’s another concept that’s perfect for a farmhouse chic wedding! We love the way hung lovely, whimsical curtains from the doorway of an old barn and fastened them back using pretty bouquets.
14. Hand painted quote fabric strung between saplings
Perhaps the idea of using the trees already standing on the wedding site really appeals to you but there aren’t quite so grandiose ones as you saw before there, since it’s mostly saplings? Then we’d suggest taking a look at this idea from instead! They hand painted a quote on canvas and strung it up between two trees as a sort of backdrop come arch.
15. DIY floral branch wedding arch photo backdrop
Perhaps you’ve agreed to help create some kind of beautifully set scene for the portraits happening before, during, or after the wedding as well and you love the way arches look so much that you can’t help wondering whether that might be the best photo setting as well? In that case, we think you simply must take a look at the way used branches, leaves, and flowers affixed to a grey backdrop to make the simple illusion of an arch for the sake of lovely pictures.
