Play With Structure

Break away from the traditional arch shape and explore different focal points like circles or triangles. Rather than covering the entire structure with flowers, focus on strategic spots for your arrangements. Add plenty of lush greenery like Cotinus Smoke Bush, and complement it with beautiful Ginger Cream Garden Rose for soft colors. This approach not only saves on expenses but also creates a balanced and eye-catching backdrop for stunning photos of the happy couple and their wedding party.

    Dried flowers are your friend!

    Opt for dried flowers to ensure your arch decorations last throughout the wedding and even beyond. The different textures of dried flowers add depth and uniqueness to your structure. Flowers like Dried Straw Flower and Dried Red Protea Flower provide a pop of color to any arrangement. To create a floating illusion, use a clear fishing line to support and anchor the frame to the wall.

    Go Green

    Utilize greenery as the primary décor for your arch, and accentuate it with bursts of colored flowers. Greenery is not only beautiful but also budget-friendly, allowing you to create a lush and full backdrop without breaking the bank. Different shades of green, along with white or blush flowers, enhance the depth and natural elegance of your display.

    Less is More… Sometimes

    For a classic look, focus on a corner or the top of your arch with varying shades of white flowers. Mix different flowers and shades of the same colors, and combine them with your favorite greenery as fillers. Add a soft fabric that drapes over the arch, complementing fresh flowers like Burning Love Garden Rose and Fuchsia Purple Wholesale Carnation. Fill the open spaces with greenery and stems like Airbrushed Sage for a lush look.
