What is a wedding arch?

A wedding arch is a popular decoration that is made from a wooden frame and decorated with flowers, fabrics and feathers. The wedding arch is usually placed at the altar as a great background drop for the bride and groom. Over the past 10 years, wedding arches have become a staple in most weddings and can complement many different types of wedding themes.

Once you’ve created your personal DIY wedding arch, you want to be sure that it is captured and remembered. Think of any poses you may want with your spouse-to-be underneath your special project and talk to your wedding photographer about the shots you want. You’re unlikely to forget the hard work and pride that goes into preparing for your wedding and especially any handmade projects, but you also want to be sure you have pictures to look back on!
