Arbors can be decorated with floral garlands, tulle and bows, faux birds, string lights, herbal bouquets, or simply left alone to present an arch against the natural colors of spring. Arbors can be used indoors as well, and will lend a garden feel to any room.
Along with the inspirational foliage of spring come insects. Although we may not always relish their existence, they can be included with your springtime accessories to make your wedding feel spring-like. Many home decorating shops sell decorativel insects such as bees, ladybugs, dragonflies, and butterflies, made of wood or metal and portrayed in an almost ethereal way. Attach them to chair backs or hang them from above. You can also find string lights in insect shapes.
