For many couples, the wedding arch will be the focus element of their ceremony. Serving as the backdrop for the moment when your life together will be forever changed, it should say something about the both of you, your love, personality, and style. We’ve had the pleasure of working with couples to create unforgettable displays that set the scene for saying “I Do.” And when it comes to designing a wedding arch, anything goes in terms of shape, materials, and floral styling.

Rounded Wedding Arch
This design is a great choice if you want a ceremony backdrop that expresses your love for flowers and greenery. For an overgrown, garden feel incorporate flowers with a variety of textures such as roses delphinium, stock, amaranthus, and lush greenery. A rounded archway featuring cascading white florals and fresh greenery radiates natural elegance.

Wedding Arch Made of Branches
If you dream of a fairytale wedding, consider saying “I do” under an archway made of natural branches. A birch and wisteria branch structure decorated with cascading chiffon and dramatic florals exudes romantic elegance with a vintage twist. Exchange vows against a secret garden backdrop of birch branches adorned with asymmetrically arranged blush and white florals and greenery.
