You can build a wedding arch which is basically an inverted “U” wherein you just have one pole in the ground and the pole height should be about eight or ten feet. Then put another bamboo pole about six or eight feet apart. Now on the top of these poles put the third pole. Of course, you can either use a big ladder to tie the third one if you have one or otherwise make sure that you do this by putting the three poles on the ground and tying them up and then with the help of the friend get the arch up.

If you need a typical semi-circular arch shape then you can use either a bamboo which is in arch shape or you can just use some other arched object and drape it in the white organza. Put a lot of flowers and floral tape and also allow the organza to flow a bit to give an added effect.
