This sweet and simple arch is the perfect accent to the "I Do" Oak! A hint of draping, a hint of flowers, and the beauty of Spanish moss dripping from the tree limbs - can it be any better?

Pro tip: This ceremony arch would be super easy to move to the Covered Pavilion in case of bad weather! Talk to your florist and planner about Plan B when discussing ceremony decor options.

White has remained a popular color for weddings since Queen Victoria popularized the white wedding dress when she married Prince Albert in 1840. But white also symbolizes new beginnings and fresh starts.

White also conveys a sense of elegance and formality, which are often desired in wedding ceremonies like this gorgeous design at Bowing Oaks!

Time to celebrate! 🥂

We're wrapping up a fabulous spring wedding season here at Bowing Oaks, and we can't wait to celebrate with all of our wonderful couples getting married this fall.

Summer is the slow season for weddings here in Florida, so we'll be spending time working on projects around the property, getting everything refreshed for the fall season, and taking time to relax.

But we're so excited to meet all the couples that have recently gotten engaged and are planning 2025 weddings! Tours are still available during the summer months - click the link in our bio to book an appointment.

Cheers!
