Wedding Arch Criteria- November 2024
How tall should a wedding arch be? How wide should a wedding arch be?
We consider a floral arch to be the perfect frame for your wedding ceremony, but if done wrong, it can obstruct the view of your ceremony and interfere with dreamy wedding photos. So how big should your wedding arch be? We recommend customizing the arch size to match the size of the people in the wedding party, including the officiant. There are a variety of wedding arch styles and shapes that lend themselves to different heights and body shapes. Part of our role as your wedding florist is helping you select the perfect floral arch shape.
What are the best flowers for a wedding arch?
Good news — there are no “best” flowers for a wedding arch. Just what’s best for you and your wedding aesthetic. When you work with Upsy Daisy Floral Studio, we’ll deep dive into your design preferences and personalities with our inquiry intake form before suggesting flowers for a wedding arch that match your colour palette and style. And, though we love flowers on a wedding arch, we also love layering different materials beyond blooms onto your arch to add texture and dimension. The addition of ribbons, fabric, and lights adds so much visual interest.
How many flowers do I need for a wedding arch?
The number of flowers you need for a wedding arch is completely up to you. Do you have a minimal, industrial aesthetic? Or will your wedding have a lush “Secret Garden” vibe? Depending on your look, we’ll recommend a different quantity of flowers and other materials to decorate the wedding arch. Regardless of the number of flowers used, we also focus on creating balance rather than symmetry.
How much does a flower arch cost?
Because there are so many elements that go into a flower arch, we customize our pricing for each couple. Factors that influence the price include the arch size and material, the quantity of flowers and other materials you want on the arch, and the seasonality of the blooms selected. We do have arch flowers starting at $250 you can order directly from our website a la carte menu. If you want a larger and more dramatic ceremony arch feature like a boho with feathers and plumbs we recommend reaching out to us to get a custom quote for your floral arch.
