It is a very important decoration because it will be the focal point of the wedding. How simple or extravagant you want the arch to be is entirely up to you, but you have many options when it comes to decorating it. Flowers and ribbons can be wrapped around the arch to match the theme of the wedding. Bows add a nice touch along with any other ideas that you can come up with. A red carpet through the center of the aisle leading the way for the bride to meet her groom is an excellent touch, and it also helps to protect the bottom of the wedding gown. Decorate the tent and chairs where guest are located with flowers, bows and even small replicas of birds and butterflies to enhance their appearance.

If you have the area where you are holding the wedding and reception screened in, then you can decorate parts of the screen the same way. However, make sure you don't put decorations where it can obscure anyone's view. If practical and permitted where you are holding the wedding, you could consider using topiaries to enhance the scenery. Topiary is sculptures that are created from clipping shrubs, sub-shrubs and even small trees. You can also places other sculptures and even small fountains around the area to enhance the natural beauty. The reception area can be decorated with tablecloths, vases of flower and other centerpieces for the tables that are designed to match the theme you have chosen.
