Wedding arches are perfect to get an intimate feel and add an interesting decorative touch to the most beautiful and emotional part of your wedding: the exchange of vows. Just imagine saying your I Dos under a stunning structure!
Arches are becoming an essential decorative element and generally come in the form of an arch (obviously) or arbors. But with all the new wedding trends, we have been witnessing new out of the box shapes, styles, and material. While altars have traditionally been associated with religious style wedding ceremonies, this is definitely no longer the case! In fact, altars are now commonly used in all types of wedding ceremonies, including civil and symbolic.
Some couples are also using arches as a romantic backdrop for their wedding pictures or photo booths! What can be more romantic than memorable snapshots in front of a gorgeous wedding arch with breathtaking views in the background?
Basically, wedding arches have become a versatile decorative accessory for your wedding that you can style in a way that suits your wedding theme and mood. A well-designed arch will take your wedding decoration and theme to a whole new level, but beware! Everyone is gonna rush in to take some amazing photos under it!
Haven’t got a perfect arch idea for your big day? Here are some of our favorite and most beautiful wedding arch design inspirations!
