Decorating Your Romantic Wedding Arch
By Christopher W Smith
Have you thought about using a wedding arch in your wedding ceremony? A lot of people are doing it these days, because arches look beautiful. While they aren't a mandatory part of any wedding, they can add a lot of elegance and flair to your ceremony. If you've taken the time to price them, though, you've probably discovered that they can be expensive. You'll be glad to know that you can have a beautiful arch without decimating your budget. In this article you'll find out how you can have the arch you've dreamed about.
Spend some time looking at the elaborate, decorative arches online, and you'll find many them made from different materials in a variety of styles. Metal arches are beautiful and come in a number of different colors, but they can be really expensive. For example, a lovely heart arch runs about $500, and if you opt for a triple arch, it's going to be closer to $2000. If you have your heart set on metal, check local rental stores to see if you can rent one which will be a much less expensive option. You can also purchase a very simple metal arch at a major craft store, like Michael's or Hobby Lobby for around $20 or $30.
Once you've purchased or rented your arch, you'll need to think of ways to decorate it to make it as romantic as the occasion. Draping the arch with yards of white tulle can give you a lovely effect. Then you can add fresh or silk flowers in your wedding colors which will make the arch look gorgeous. For a fall wedding, you could use leaves in autumn colors to achieve a seasonal effect, and if you're having a Christmas wedding, try using pine boughs and twinkle lights to decorate the arch.
If you like the look of a wooden arch, you can enlist someone you know who has basic carpentry skills to build one for you. After painting the structure white, you can entwine vines around it, and add some lovely flower arrangements. Criss-crossing the back of the arch with sweeping chiffon can give you a graceful, romantic effect, too. You can look online for lots of pictures to give you decorating ideas or feel free to use your imagination.
