    Here is a picture of my wedding arch & am I looking for a way to decorate this besides the tradational flower garland decor. Any ideas on ways to jazz this up? (Also, this is an old picture & those flower pot things arn't there anymore, so now its just an empty iron arch.)

    What about paper lanterns hanging from it, even if the lights aren't on?  That would look cool and you can find all sorts of patterns for them.

    What about hanging ribbons? It could probably get pricey, but if there was a breeze it would look pretty cool, I think.

    I couldn't find anything exactly alike, but these pictures show some hanging from the ceiling and some from chairs.

    What about twinkle lights and some white tulle?

    Twinkle lights (is there an outlet somewhere near it?), colorful lanterns, pomanders, fabric/paper garlands

    you could weave some light fabric through the grates in the roof and down the legs.. you could hang ball jars and put votive candles in them... you could hang crystals down so they would sparkle in the sunshine

    What about stringing roses (or probably any other flower) on some fishing line and hanging them from the top of the arch? I saw it in a magazine and absolutely fell in love with it. I cant find the post but I know I have seen it on this website..maybe under the DIY tab. Hopefully this helps!!

    I like the idea of twinkle lights and ribbons of different widths/styles/in your wedding colors wrapped around with the lights :)
