Arch

Getting married outside is a dream of mine. Risky, but a girl can hope, right? Wedding in the front yard, reception in the backyard. I'm not married to the idea, per say, but every since I was a little girl growing up on my parents 4 acres out in the country, it's the way I've imagined it. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

But in the mean time, if you're getting married outside, you need something to stand in the place of the traditional alter in a church. An arch. Or something like an arch. It's one of the thousands of ways you get to be creative with your wedding, and I love it! There's so many different ways to go. Traditional arches, canopies, doors. Doors? Doors. Here's a couple of my favorite ideas.

Traditional canopy + untraditional fabric arch

Burlap canopy + twig arch

{As usual, I saved my favorites for last}

Burlap arch + door

I think one of the things I like about the idea of a wedding arch is it gives your guy a way to be involved. While there's very little they ususally want to be hands-on about the planning, getting sweaty and building something that'll make their bride happy is a great way to let them feel included.
