Aisle Arch Decorations
Stunning Wedding Aisle Arch Decorations
Imagine yourself entering your church beneath an arch of
blooming roses and walking down a petal-strewn aisle to meet your
husband-to-be. Or perhaps you picture yourself walking down the
aisle beneath a canopy of ivy that transforms the entire church
into a wedding bower.
Neither project is impossible, and many churches will allow
wedding aisle arch decorations, as long as you can guarantee
having the arches and other decorations removed before their next
services. There are three main ways to use arches to decorate the
aisle down which you'll be making that momentous walk.
An Entry Arch
An entry arch stands at the far end of the aisle from the altar.
It makes a beautiful entry way for the bridal party, framing each
in tulle, flowers and ribbons. You can rent one from an event
rental company, and decorate it to match your wedding, or buy an
inexpensive metal garden trellis and decorate it. Here are three
ideas for decorating an aisle entry arch.
Ribbons and Tulle
Use yards of tulle in white and one or two wedding colors to pouf
bows along both sides of the arch. Using one-inch wide ribbon in
the same color, make oversize bows with long trailing streamers to
tack up along each side of the arch. At the center of the top in
the front and back, hang a heart-shaped wreath of roses and
ribbons, letting the ribbons trail into the center of the arch.
Ivy Covered Arch
Drape the arch in PVC netting if needed for support and weave silk
ivy up over the arch to form a bower of green. Accent with white
silk ribbons woven through the ivy and hang a pair of white doves
with ribbons and gold rings at the center of the arch.
Morning Glory Arch
Buy ropes of silk morning glory vines and twine in and out of the
arch supports. Decorate with trailing ribbons if you like, but the
morning glories add plenty of color on their own. White morning
glories are especially pretty for a wedding.
An Altar Arch
Is there anything more lovely than being married beneath an arch
of roses and ivy? An arch at the altar should be wider than an
aisle arch, and allow room for the bride and groom to stand
beneath it facing each other. For true extravagance, have your
florist decorate the arch with living roses.
A Wedding Bower
If your wedding budget will stretch to cover the expense, you can
create an entire aisle of arches in your church - or in your
backyard. Just decorate each arch with tulle, ribbon and flowers,
and set them evenly along the length of the aisle, making sure to
stand them so that they block as few pews as possible.
For a modern alternative, create an aisle of balloon arches. Use
pure white helium-filled balloons, or choose balloons in the
wedding colors to create your arches, and affix the ends of the
arches to pew rails.
For a totally unique wedding aisle arch decoration, use
transparent balloons. Before inflating, drop a teaspoon or two of
glitter into each balloon. When inflated, shake balloon well to
coat the insides. The arch of clear balloons will glitter and
glisten with every stirring breeze.
