Need help recreating this altar that my daughter found

It really depends on the height of the arch, but for the tulle more is better! We had about 5 yards of tulle for ours and it was barely enough (and our tulle wasn’t as loosely draped.)


Places like Joann’s often have 50% off coupons so you can always buy a large amount of fabric and then reduce the cost that way.

Welcome to the WeddingWire community, Tracey!

This arch is gorgeous! As Kaitlyn mentioned, it definitely would depend on the height of the arch you want to dress. Do you know what height it is? Do you have the arch yet?

I would definitely get several yards to make sure there's enough! I'd get at least 8 yards for a project like that

The arch is at the venue, so I can try and get the measurements for it. I am looking at draping that is 54inches wide by 216 inches long. I am thinking maybe I should get 2 of them.

I think I am going to forego tulle, because I am reading that it is not as flowy as other materials.

This helps. I was looking at 6 yards, so I think I will get 2 of them. Just going to research a bit more first. Thank you.

Yes, definitely get the measurements of the arch before ordering anything.
Your daughter is very lucky to have you helping out
