Best of all, the arch can be easily decorated and personalized with specific colors that will match the wedding style and theme.
Traditional arches, though still commonly used, have been dethroned in popularity by a new trend. Modern brides have been using arches made into a variety of innovative shapes and from unique materials.
Some unique shapes we have seen lately include a triangle or even a three-dimensional pyramid. Other shares include octagon or pentagon, or the even a diamond shape.
Most bridal couples stand, more-or-less, slightly in front of their arch and use it as a backdrop. Because of this, some couples are using circle shaped “arches” at their wedding for a unique look.
The Hebrew chuppah is another popular design. It is often used in the same way as an arch, but is considered a canopy because it incorporates a cloth top.
This type of archway has been used for generation and is full of symbolism, but is still popular today. Modern couples may have their initials embroidered onto the fabric or even have their chuppah hand carved with personal symbols.
There are many ways to embellish an arch. Flowers, vines and fabric are the most obvious decorative choices. Use white flowers or wedding colors and greens to decorate your arch. You could also intertwine fairy lights into your arch decor as well.
Some brides even hang ornamental items from the arch itself. Battery operated tea lights inside of hanging vases will add a touch of whimsy to the look. You can also hang a sign with a favorite scripture verse or the couples’ initials displayed in a decorative font. Some couples hang ribbons or strips of fabric from the top of their arches. This creates a pretty curtain backdrop.
Beaded garland, crystals and even feathers can also be used to give your arch a special look. Let your theme, venue and color scheme direct your imagination as you trim your wedding arch.
