Wedding Arch...need options...

KBM, on September 22, 2012 at 5:53 PM Posted in Planning 0 5

I am having my wedding at an all in one venue and I have to provide the wedding arch that we get married in front of it. I really don't love the way it looks in photos at the venue. Does anyone have any alternative ideas to the arch that are inexpensive? Do I need to get married in front of anything?

    Get a bunch of sticks and decorate with streamers/flowers/curtains? That's what we're doing. Getting the wood from IL's woods behind the house.

    @Pan--I love the first one! It's too cute!

    You could always buy a flower arch and decorate it to make it look bigger. Or find a tree and decorate it. You don't need anything, but its always nice to have it Smiley laugh

    Here's an old post of mine with a similar question. Hayley had lots of awesome ideas for columns.

    Is there a particular reason you didn't like the arch? You can make them look so different by the way you decorate them.

    You certainly do not have to have an arch at all. You could use a couple of columns that have a floral arrangement set on them and then repurpose the floral arrangemens on your sweetheart table as a centerpiece. And the columns can be easily moved when it's time for the reception to start.

    There really are a lot of options out there. Good luck!

    You don't have to get married in front of anything, but it does anchor the photos especially in an outdoor venue. We've used spray painted pvc pipe and covered it with flowers, but the flowers add up fast if it's a big arch. I love the first one in the photos above--it looks like it's made with grapevine but would need to have something underneath it to support the vines. Happy Wedding Planning!
