Anyone get married on the beach and NOT use arches?

Thanks, Melissa! It does look nice with just a little table. Perhaps I will jsut need the sand ceremony table and no arches....

I wasn't able to view Jenetta's DIY arch though, it was no longer on her style page in the gallery... Did I miss something?

Maybe?   Also, I'm pretty sure someone on here (Jenetta) made a chuppah out of PVC piping. Ahah! Just found the link: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t1323 Might be worth it to check with her...

My friend suggest I don't use the arches. She was going to have to pay $800 for arches & decided not to. She was really glad she didn't get them. I think her pictures look great.

I won't have arches either. I love the look of the beach/ lagoon where the ceremony will take place. I don't want to cover any of that up. There will be a white canopy for guests to sit under.

I have this picture. I'll look for some better ones.

Thanks, I'll do that...

here is a better one from my friends wedding. i like that you can clearly see the beach behind them.

I didn't have arches and I thought it looked beautiful. The water was the only backdrop I needed. Here are some pictures of the ceremony site.

I found this one. They had color through chair ties and added a little bit of greenary.

Instead of an arch maybe something cute along the aisle?

Crappy pic- but they used floral arrangements next to the table.

Another one using a floral arrangement.

Maybe these will help you brain storm another idea. I think it can still be beautiful without the arch!

Thank you ladies so much! I am feeling like I can ditch the arches if need be. I still don't WANT to, cuz I love that picture above. But if it comes down to it, you all have supplied me with lots of beautiful options. here is another that I found.

I like the idea of the floral arrangement! Looks beautiful!!
