An arbor, arch or canopy is a popular choice at beach weddings. It helps to define the space and acts as a beautiful focal point for the ceremony to take place under.  Hiring a basic frame is probably the easiest way to go, especially if its a destination wedding. But the decoration can turn the ordinary to the extrordinatry and really make a personal style statement! Here are a few gorgeous ideas to get you thinking...
