Most of the time, a venue is selected because it resonates with the couple. If couples want their arch to feel unique to them, incorporating your environment is key. Something like grasses and wildflowers are more likely to fit in a coastal setting. Let's work with Mother Nature to provide something that is beautiful and fits together. While beautiful, it wouldn't occur naturally in that setting. Nothing looks more out of place than a huge structure on the beach decorated with roses and hydrangea. In an era where being eco-conscious is gaining momentum, I see nothing better than incorporating that mindset into the structure's design. "I really love arches that fit their environment. Sisti stresses the importance of thinking about cohesion when creating your ceremony backdrop and overall event design. Flowers like hydrangeas, peonies, and astilbe are daintier blooms that may not last very long in the sun," advises Chan. Cymbidium orchids, chrysanthemums, anthurium, and king protea are great for the heat. It's a good idea to base your floral design on "any flowers that do well out of water and can survive the weather. Not all blooms, even if they're being used in your centerpieces, are ideal for use in wedding arches. Similarly, durability is a factor that goes hand-in-hand with seasonality and needs to be kept front-of-mind. They are smaller flowers and the sheer volume needed to cover an area will cost dearly." Along with that, if you're hosting a destination wedding, it's important to keep in mind how the weather and seasonality of your destination may differ from home. More delicate blooms like astilbe, cosmos, lilac and sweet peas just aren't feasible to cover large amounts of space. Roses, hydrangea, carnations, snapdragons and mums are hardy enough to last wherever and are larger flowers. With this in mind, finding flowers that are meant to be in your season tend to hold up better against Mother Nature. Flowers that are naturally prevalent in the summer and fall can withstand warmer temperatures. Think about it-winter and spring flowers naturally can withstand colder temperatures because that is when they're growing. "Summer temperatures might be okay for some blooms, but not for others. The season can also play a large part in whether or not a flower survives," says Kimberly Sisti of Sisti & Co.
When florists design for editorials we get to flex our creative muscle, and it doesn't always mean that it's viable for a wedding day. "As clients look more and more at Pinterest, they are going to find lots of beautiful ideas, but some sadly, just won't work in the real world. If it's an arch with wheels, then we can move it on over to your reception for a photo booth backdrop, cake backdrop or sweetheart table backdrop," says Lizzy Liz Chan of Lizzy Liz Events.
Say you have a garland piece that can be detached from your arch and used for your cake table or sweetheart table. "The best strategy is to create a ceremony arch that can be repurposed for your reception. When a backdrop is more classic or simple, like in front of lush greenery already, a larger arbor filled with bold flowers in their color palette creates a real wow moment," says Sarah Crowell of Mavinhouse Events.
"I personally love a ground installation to mark the alter space in cases where a ceremony has a beautiful view that you don't want to distract from. As of late, many couples have played around with creating arches that aren't connected at the top and even arches that lay flat on the ground, instead of upright. From triangles to hexagons and complete circles, the shape of your arch can change based on the theme and style of your wedding.
