It may not be a problem growing it on an arbor but I would keep an eye out for bugs.
I grew up in lower SC where we had those lovely live oaks draped in tons of Spanish moss.As a little girl I got the brilliant idea to turn it into ballgowns, bridal veils and shawls.
Each time I would break out in rashes and itching. My mom would have to treat me for "chiggers and red bugs" (at least that is what she called them and I had to soak in tubs of some purple solution to kill them because they get under the skin).
This may only occur in moss attached to trees but you might check with the University in Miami and see what they suggest. It really does sound lovely and appropriate for your area.
