Arch Wedding Decoration
Decorated Arches Enhance Your Outdoor Or Indoor Wedding
The wedding
arch has become a popular decoration for outdoor weddings. The wedding
arch creates a gazebo effect, a focal point that draws the attention
of the wedding guests to the bride and groom, who stand beneath
or directly in front of the arch to exchange vows. The decorated
wedding arch transforms the backyard or garden into a chapel or
wedding hall.

Wedding arches aren’t limited to the front of the aisle. Some
couples choose to place a decorated wedding arch at the back of
the aisle as well. Guests walk beneath the decorated arch as they
arrive, and the wedding procession begins beneath the arch.
Wedding arches don’t just belong in garden weddings or outdoor
weddings. The high visibility and romantic appeal makes the wedding
arch one of the most important wedding decorations indoors and out.
Wedding arch decorations can be elegant or informal, depending on
the theme and style of your wedding. You can purchase wedding arches,
fairly inexpensively, made of pewter or enameled steel, painted
wood, wicker or wire mesh. Or create arches out of balloons or wire
and flowers.
Indoor Wedding Arches
An indoor wedding arch, decorated in the style of your wedding theme,
enhances the festive atmosphere. Indoors, a wedding arch can be
placed behind the bride and groom’s reception table, behind the
wedding cake table or at the entrance to the wedding hall. You can
use a series of decorated arches as a backdrop in the reception
hall. Surround the wedding buffet area with arches, or use arches
to create a dance floor.
Formal Wedding Arch Decoration
If your wedding is formal, you might consider an elegant wedding
arch with minimal decoration. Use the same flowers you’ve chosen
for your wedding bouquets and attach individual flowers several
inches apart all around the arch. Or weave a string of miniature
white lights through the arch and cover it with white tulle fabric
as decoration. Or you can buy a pre-lighted arch and add your own
decorations to enhance the beauty.
Garden Wedding Arch Decoration
For a garden wedding, use flowers, flowers and more flowers to decorate
your wedding arch. Or use a combination of greenery and flowers.
Cover the wedding arch with garlands of ivy or other climbing plants,
and place bunches of flowers across the top and down the sides of
the arch. If you want more of a greenery look, you can limit the
flowers to the very top of the wedding arch, or one bunch halfway
up each side of the arch. You can also place pedestals with flower
arrangements at the sides of the wedding arch or scatter flower
petals beneath the arch.
Theme Wedding Arch Decoration
If your theme is a western wedding, consider a wedding arch constructed
of burnt logs or driftwood, with cactus plants on either side. For
a Christmas wedding, you can decorate the wedding arch with holly
or pine garlands, tinsel, Christmas ornaments or candy canes. If
you’ve chosen a Hawaiian-style wedding, you can decorate your wedding
arch with palm fronds and lots of tropical flowers.
Keep Safety in Mind
If you use a wedding arch outdoors, be sure it’s anchored firmly
into the ground. Wedding arches are often constructed of lightweight
material, which makes them easy to set up but also easy for a strong
breeze to topple.
For indoor arches, be sure they are set far enough away from common
areas and walkways so they won’t impede the movement of your wedding
guests and won’t pose any danger of falling on tables and chairs,
buffet table or dance floor.
Use Doorway and Window Archways
If you choose not to use a decorated wedding arch indoors, take
advantage of doorway and window archways to decorate. Tulle swags
and flower garlands draped over door and window archways dramatically
enhance your wedding atmosphere.
