Your wedding arch will be the main area of attention during the ceremony and probably the most photographed area throughout the day so it’s important to get it right! Lets take a deeper look into wedding arch styles but before we do lets consider whats important when your choosing your wedding arch.
3 Things to Consider When Choosing your Wedding Arch
Match Your Geographical Surroundings
Consider the context of the surroundings are they country style, industrial, on the beach, scenic or rustic. Based off your ceremony surroundings you should gain a good insight into how you then want to progress with choosing and incorporating your wedding arch. For example for a country style wedding at a winery you could use s similar wood texture to that of the oak barrels used to store the wines associated with the winery.
Consider The Views
If you have a scenic view or a view of the beach or forest make sure you don’t obstruct the view with the design of the wedding arch. For example for a beach view ceremony make sure you don’t have drapes that cover the arch and block peoples view.
Use Your Own Personality
Use your own personality to influence your choice. For example do you want the arch to have more of a high impact on the space or simply blend in and accompany the space? Do you want it to have softer floral tones or more bold features that engage people?
