Outdoor Altar Help
Hi Ladies-
We are having a tent wedding and I've been trying to come up with a way to "mark" the altar, without the same old arch idea. I found this picture and it spawned a little bit of direction in my overloaded brain. I figure we can use a long table in front (in lieu of the 2 stands) and line it with tealights in globe vases (to ensure the flames are protected) But what else could we do? Our floral arrangements aren't really tall, so I'm wondering what else we could do for some height, like the pic shows... Any ideas?

I just did a google search "how to make a flower cross" and some helpful links popped up
I love the branch in vases look. We're having an indoor wedding and we're using this in our centerpieces. Its a cheap way to add height.

<div>I think your florist might be able to help you out. I know a ton of churches around here have them outside on Easter, so maybe you could call some local churches that do that and ask them.</div><div>
