Not Just Your Average Arch...

2/21/2023

Arches are very trendy right now...but how do we make it different?

not your average arch cover photo

Let's create a ceremony backdrop for you that is different, and anything but average.  An arch is a wonderful piece, but let's
​dress them up shall we!

not an average arch - arch with vintage lighting and floral pathway

Working with your vendors, you can create a stunning ceremony backdrop beyond average for your perfect day.  Adding vintage lighting and gorgeous florals that created a pathway to the ceremony for our couple, and the delicate lamps add the perfect bounce of ambient lighting.

vintage wicker screen as ceremony backdrop - not your average arch

Not an arch per say, but still a lovely ceremony backdrop is our
vintage wicker screen. 
​Adorned with florals, the arch is wonderful, but we added potted cacti, stones from the area, floor cushions for colour, and it became
​not just an average arch!

triangle arch with macrame garlands - not your average arch

A triangle arch is a popular shape for the mountain weddings we get to work on.  It mimics the mountain range we live in, the Canadian Rocky Mountains.  To add some depth and interest to this dark stained wood triangle in the wooded area outside Banff, we had our favourite Macrame artist create tasseled garlands to hang in the triangle opening, making this, not just an average arch!

meetal frame with macrame insert - not your average arch

This is definitely not your average arch, as a vintage screen frame with a modern custom macrame insert, it doubles as a backdrop for a private moment between the newly married couple.  

You can pin these images to your Pinterest inspiration boards for future reference.

We hope that was an eye opener for you and how to make your average arch, not so average!!  Stay tuned for our next blog post about bringing colour via vintage into your designs!
