Also, a wonderful arch will turn out from white paper, which will become a decoration of the holiday and against its background you can take pictures.
If you like the combination of white and aqua, then use these colors to decorate your paper wedding. Glue the flowers from large paper so that they decorate the shape of the arch, which is located at the table of the young.
Glue a white Whatman paper to the cardboard, give this blank the shape of an oval and write on it with blue paints the first letters of the names of the young.
If you like Japanese decorations, try this style of flowers. To do this, roll up long strips of paper with an accordion, then connect opposite short sides and glue them. You will get beautiful circles. And if you first fold the strips and cut patterns on them like a snowflake, then such elements will be delicate.
