Wedding Arch Ideas

There are so many details that go into planning a memorable wedding.


Often the arch is the least thought about prop, yet it is the frame to your ceremony that your guests observe and witness this special event. As you walk down the aisle you will love having gorgeous flowers or flowing cloth and rustic wood to frame your memorable moment. It will be a little taste of your style that will stand out in photos for years to come.


Once you have decided that you would like a wedding arch to be a part of your ceremony, you need to then consider how you will obtain one. . There are so many options. One is to purchase a wedding arch and then decorate it yourself with flowers.You may have a handyman you can call on to create one to suit your style, but then there is always the consideration of how to transport to your venue and then how to construct it.


You can also rent a wedding arch, usually the supplier of your tables and chairs may also have arches to order, leaving either yourself and your bridesmaids or your florist to add the floral finishing touches.


Some venues already have a purpose built arch they can provide, allowing your to decorate yourself.


The arch you choose is limited only by your imagination; the display above was created by the bride and her trusty bridesmaids. They visited the local market and purchased buckets of native flowers. The brides sister sourced a few logs and had them cut down to size and they created this beautiful frame - they used the natural surroundings to do the rest for them.


Remember though, if you do purchase your own arch you can put it in your backyard later as a constant reminder of your incredibly special big day!
