Arbor almost done!

Courtney, on July 7, 2018 at 12:14 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 23

We're getting married on the hotel lawn and I wanted to have an arch or an arbor.... HELLO ALDI GROCERY STORE!

Arbor almost done! 1

I purchased 3 of these (single archway), spray painted them copper/ bronze and added hints of pink on the flowers, green on the leaves and blue on the birds.

The plans allow for two arches to be linked into an arbor (See the picture, I got three to add in an additional panel to make sure it was tall enough). I have a chandelier (still need to paint) that will hang in the center, white flowing fabric (think cheesecloth) on the sides to spill to the ground and pool a little bit and then I will add all of the artificial flowers I've purchased along with a faux boxwood//ivy garland from Amazon.

I am SO EXCITED about this and it cost less than renting one!

    I would really recommend anchoring these somehow. They are hard to get the ground.

    FH is an engineer, he has plans for tying them down. I've planned for extra fabric which should cover any ugly rope Smiley smile

    (MUST remember white/cream rope, no yellow!!)

    Cheap lace curtains with a "tight rod" will be helpful
