DIY Wedding Arbor



This was a long, drawn out process, but well worth it!  My daughter had an outdoor wedding, and we were trying to save money where we could.  So my husband had a friend who had some small oak trees on his farm and let him come and cut down a few.  He cut them to length and kind of hollowed the ends like the old Lincoln Logs to fit, and secured with some long bolts and nuts.  We them constructed a floor, with 5/4 deck boards to be used as a platform for the bridal party to stand on.  It was spring, so we decorated with as many flowers as we could find. We decorated the arbor with some angel vines and artificial flowers.  The two vintage gates on either side were borrowed from a friend and adorned with artificial flowers as well.  It turned out just beautiful!
