Wedding Decorations

When I got married, I was willing to outsource most of the planning to my coordinator, but I had such a strong vision for the decor I had to DIY. In my wedding decoration tutorials, I show step-by-step instructions to make your own arches and hanging hoops that complete the look. Check out my Pinterest board for more inspiration for an ‘Enchanted Forest’ party vibe.

Decorative Arches

My husband built a pergola for us to be married under made mostly of felled cedar from our land. Using several arch draping fabrics, cedar branches, and bouquets, the pergola was transformed into a glorious boho-inspired wedding pergola. Using the same fabric as the pergola, I made a variety of arches to be placed at random stations throughout the wedding.

Eucalyptus Hanging Hoops

Attach fresh eucalyptus to basic metal hoops to hang throughout your outdoor spaces. These tucked away decorations add an element of whimsy to any occasion.
