How would you decorate a gazebo?

Mrs.Matthews, on March 16, 2014 at 9:23 AM Posted in Planning 0 16

This is the gazebo for my ceremony, and I have no idea how I want to decorate it at all. We are only allowed to use zip ties to hold things up. Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else been married/ getting married on a gazebo?

    That's gorgeous. I'm more into simplicity, so I wouldn't do much with it. Maybe a string of lights along the gazebo itself.

    That's beautiful! What kind of decor are you thinking of? You might be able to do streamers of long, thin fabric and hang them from the sides of the gazebo.

    My reception has a gazebo, I'm not sure what we will do yet but I've seen pictures where there are ribbons or flowers on the posts or even some tulle draped between the posts. You could also hang Chinese lanterns or drape material across the ceiling of the gazebo.

    What time of day are you having the ceremony?...I like the lights and lanterns idea but keep it simple. Do you have a theme you are going by?

    What about hanging something through the slats? Like these glass balls or flower poms.

    If there is electricity, put a light in the gazebo. See how shaded it is? Makes it hard to take a good pic if someone is out in the bright light shooting into the gazebo.

    I think it is beautiful and less is more. I would look at photographers that have taken photos there and see what other couples have done for inspiration. That's what I ended up doing

    That is a great idea @CeCe I have noticed that most people don't really decorate too much on this gazebo. I really do not like too much going on either, but many people who get married here just do something like this which I do not really like either.
