Wedding arches are a stunning part of wedding design. They appear in magazines, blogs, and vendor portfolios, catching the eye of many couples. While a beautiful arch is tempting, there are important factors to consider. As a florist specializing in wedding arch floral design, I’ve helped many couples with their floral needs. Here are some tips to help you decide if a wedding arch is right for you.
Cost of Wedding Arch Floral Design
One of the first things to think about is cost. A quick search for “wedding arch floral design cost” might give you an idea, but it often misses the full picture. Simple greenery arches are cheaper, but a full floral arch usually starts at around $1,500. The cost depends on the design and flowers used. For a detailed quote, contact us. We can explain the costs and what affects the price.
Weather and Conditions
Weather is key when planning your wedding arch. Choose flowers that can handle heat and sunlight. Ask us for advice on durable flowers. Timing is also important; setting up the arch too early can lead to wilting. Even light winds can be a problem, so make sure the arch is securely placed. We can help you manage these issues.
Repurposing Your Wedding Arch Floral Design
Repurposing your floral arch from the ceremony to the head table or cake table is a great way to stretch your budget. This lets you enjoy the arch throughout your event and enhances your decor. We can help you plan this transition so that the arch fits perfectly into your reception space.
