Question from a Bride and Groom:  Where can we rent a inexpensive archway?

Response:  This couple found it easier to purchase the lightweight white aluminum archway compared to renting it at Hobby Lobby so they bought it. All the white tulle and the garland of white flowers were purchased at Hobby Lobby also.  The archway was assembled on the beach about 60 minutes before the ceremony began.  Yes, you will need to obtain a "beach wedding permit" when you set up an archway or decorate the ceremony site.
