Wedding arbors are a popular decorative touch for outdoor nuptials, and often they are used as a backdrop for the ceremony itself. Many people creating an outdoor ceremony and reception area will plan on the bride, groom, and official standing under or in front of a lovely arbor. Others will include an arbor near the focal area of the reception, which may include the wedding table or the cake table. However you plan to use an arbor in your upcoming nuptials, you will find that you want to take some extra steps to decorate this feature. There are some wonderful decorating ideas that you can consider for your own celebration.

Flowers and Vegetation.
Decorating wedding arbors with flowers and vegetation is a popular idea. When used as a landscaping feature in backyards, arbors are generally featured with fragrant blooms. Often these blooms are from climbing vines in a backyard. However, with a wedding, typically this feature is rented from a service, so you will need to add the vegetation yourself. Many will choose to add silk blooms to the arbor that correspond with the flowers chosen to decorate the wedding and reception site in order to create a cohesive look. However, adding basic greenery can have a gorgeous effect as well, as this can make the bride's white dress and bouquet really pop against the backdrop of the arbor.
Wedding arbors with lighting.
If you are planning a wedding with nuptials scheduled for darkened hours, such as right at sunset or in the darkened evening hours, wedding arbors with lighting intertwined in the weaving can be stunning. Such lighting often sets a romantic tone to the wedding, which is fitting for an evening event. The lighting can be used in conjunction with greenery and vegetation to complete the look that you are trying to achieve.
Ribbons and Bows.
Ribbons and bows are popular additions to an indoor wedding ceremony site, and they can be used just as beautifully outdoors as well. Often, ribbons and bows are added with the vegetation, and possibly lighting for an evening wedding, on wedding arbors. Typically, matching ribbons and bows will be included in the bridal and wedding party bouquets and boutonnieres as well as in the seating area for the guests, too. These can be used to create a unifying look to the décor and can really add some flair and beauty to the outdoor celebration.
As you can see, you really do have a lot of flexibility in how you decorate wedding arbors for your outdoor ceremony. You will first have to decide which type of arbor to use as a backdrop of your ceremony. However, keep in mind that with the lighting, flowers and vegetation, and ribbons and bows you will be using to decorate the arbor, which style of arbor you choose should be fairly simple and straightforward. You will want to ensure that it is large enough to serve as a backdrop for the bride, groom, and official to stand comfortably under or in front of, though.
