3. Floral swag / flowers for arches

Many of the wedding arches are shipped with only actual arch (metal, wood, etc.) itself; most likely, flowers, draping, or other decorations aren’t included. That’s why you turn to somewhere like andtheBLOOM who offers floral wedding arch packages, like these, sometimes referred to as flower swag.

These soft pink flowers are another option. By The Blooming Wreath. You can rent a decorative chandelier for your wedding arch here.

I want these flowers for my patio! They look exceptional on a wedding arbor, as shown here.

These draped designs go in my archives as the best wedding arch ideas, simply because they’re easy to recreate and customize to coordinate with your own wedding theme and color palette. Similarly to the above, here’s where you can get beautiful draping for your wedding arch, wedding arbor, or wedding chuppah. These are some of the most beautiful examples I have ever seen on Etsy.
