Ivy garlands look absolutely amazing on arbors. They can be positioned to cascade in just the right way to create a lush, green look. This can create a garden-like backdrop, and this look is especially popular for garden weddings and other outdoor events. While these garlands can look amazing with their greenery alone, many people decide they want to spruce them up in some way to make them even more spectacular. Here are some great decorating ideas that can enhance ivy garlands on arbors:
Silk or Fresh Flowers.
Both silk and fresh flowers are a wonderful decorating idea. These blooms can be strategically placed inside the garland, and the placement can create different effects. For instance, they can be placed hanging over the threshold or interspersed evenly throughout the entire structure. The colors of the blooms can be carefully selected to correspond with the colors of the event, such as choosing blooms that complement the bridal bouquet in a wedding. They can also be a more neutral color, such as white, and this can really make the other colors nearby pop with flair.
Ribbons.
Ribbons can be woven beautifully through the ivy garlands on the arbor, or they can be placed lightly draping over the sides of the arbor. Each of these effects is just lovely, and they can really add some extra pizzazz to the space while also adding a touch of color to the greenery. Another option is to tie one large bow on either side of the threshold, or to tie several smaller bows throughout the greenery.
Lighting.
If your big event will be held during the dusk or evening hours, small lights placed inside the garland can create a stunning effect. They can throw off a warm and indirect glow that can really transform your space. Plus, it can also add some much-needed lighting on the scene, and it is far safer than using candlelight at a big event. Small, white lights are a popular choice for adding an extra sparkle or twinkle to the occasion, but you can also get beautiful effects by playing with subtle hues like muted blues, pinks, and yellows, too.
As you read through the list of possibilities for sprucing up your ivy garlands on the arbor, you should also keep in mind that you can mix and match these ideas to create a unique arbor that is all your own.
For instance, an arbor decorated with cascading blooms interspersed with the ivy as well as two large bows on either side may look stunning and have that completely finished look that you have been eager to pull together. Play around with the options, mix and match where necessary, and really have fun with the possibilities. This arbor is often the center stage for your event, so its decoration deserves plenty of attention and thought. When your work is completed, however, you will have created the perfect, beautiful, eye-catching backdrop to your big event that perfectly matches the décor of the rest of your event.
