5 Wedding Arbor Ideas You'll Love

The wedding arbor is often the pinnacle of your wedding ceremony. It is both the backdrop to your nuptials as well as a focal point for countless wedding party photos. Traditionally, wedding arbors are draped with tulle or adorned with elegant floral arrangements. However, many couples are getting creative with new and unique arbor embellishments. If you’re looking to elevate your wedding ceremony decor, take a look at these wedding arbor ideas we love!

Wedding Arbor Adorned with Paper Cranes

One recent couple chose to decorate their entire wedding with paper cranes - a symbol of good luck. The cranes were hung from the brick gazebo at Stonebridge Manor’s outdoor ceremony space - making for a beautiful vow exchange backdrop.

A Macrame Wedding Ceremony Backdrop

We featured macrame in our wedding decor trends guide recently because of its timeless design and increasing popularity. We love seeing macrame backdrops used across different wedding styles, including bohemian themes.

Opting for a Vintage Door

A vintage door is a unique alternative to a traditional wedding arbor. Not only can vintage doors add to the aesthetic of a rustic wedding, but they also symbolize doors opening to new opportunities. A French door painted white can be a picturesque backdrop for an outdoor spring wedding, while an unfinished wooden door works great for a shabby-chic ranch wedding.

A Geometric Wedding Arbor

If you love mid-century modern style, consider adding a geometric wedding arbor to your ceremony space. A metallic arch that’s geometric in shape lends well to an art deco-themed wedding. Add flowers and eucalyptus to soften up this morning arbor to show off your breathtaking floral arrangements throughout your ceremony.
