Hello bee’s!!
Is anyone planning on using a diy wooden arch inside your venue? All of the images I am finding are wooden arches OUTSIDE but my Darling Husband is looking for examples used on hard floors. I know just what I want and how to decorate it but we are concerned about stability.
So, please share any pictures you have of you indoors arches.
Thanks!!!

Are you thinking of making the arch using the aspen branches? or using them to decorate a wooden arch? You can make any arch stable by wrapping some weights around the base. You can use fabric covered handweights, or canvas bags of sand that are not overfilled do they are still flexible. You do then have to cover/disguise the weights with something.
You could also insert the ends of the branches into buckets of sand, wooden planters etc.

If you make the arch wide enough that there is no risk of anyone bumping it, the shifting is not really a concern. Or ensure that you stand far enough in front of the arch-it will still look great in your pics.

@julies1949: This is just lovely! I think I may try this. My Darling Husband will be so frustrated because I have been so wishy washy about the style I want.
