Increasingly, at weddings you can find wedding arches among other festive attributes. Once upon a time, such vaults were considered a symbol of the Protestant faith; they were used outside the walls of a government institution for a wedding ceremony. Now they symbolize the gateway to life together. After the exchange of rings has been made, the newlyweds must walk together under the arch, as if entering a new family life.
Arch for exit registration
Typically, arches are used as decoration at an outdoor wedding ceremony, when the wedding takes place not within the walls of the registry office, but in another beautiful and picturesque place. On the seashore, in a flowering garden at home or in a spacious park, an arch for exit registration will look great, and a structure made with your own hands will become a nice gift for any couple. In addition, this festive attribute will be an excellent backdrop for a photo shoot.

Making a wedding arch with your own hands
The following tips will tell you how to make an arch for a wedding with your own hands. Having decided to make such a decoration yourself, you should draw it schematically on a piece of paper to determine its size and design. Properly designed arch device allow you to avoid disappointments associated with incorrect arch height. After all, it will be a shame if the young people cannot calmly pass under it or it falls on them.
That is why it is recommended, when calculating the height, to make it a full meter higher than the tallest of the newlyweds. Don’t worry about the building being very tall; the decorations used will take away some of the height. The width should allow the young to pass through it together; two meters should be enough for this.
Product shape
You can choose the form for which you have enough imagination and resources. It is also worth considering the area where the wedding arch will be installed. If the celebration will take place indoors, then you can choose a lighter design that does not require careful fastening to the floor. A holiday on the street, on the contrary, implies a strong, stable foundation of the structure, since it must withstand sudden gusts of wind and other unexpected influences of nature and guests.
The most common forms:
Arch frame
Wood, metal or metal-plastic is used as a frame. An arch made of such materials can withstand natural phenomena, and it can also be additionally weighted with cement. In addition, cement will help securely secure the structure in the chosen location. If the wedding is taking place in the courtyard of the house, then it can be safely placed in the garden and used as decoration for many years to come. It is very important to secure it well so that unexpected gusts of wind do not ruin the entire holiday.
Carved wooden structures will look very impressive, and you won’t need a lot of materials to decorate it. It is enough to add some decorative elements so that the patterns on the wooden base remain visible.
Decoration of the building
After the wedding vault is installed, it needs to be decorated. Here you can let your imagination run wild. There are no restrictions on decoration. All that remains is to decide how to decorate the arch:
You can also see the photo showing best options wedding arch designs. There are a lot of them a large number of, and the options that can still be thought of are endless. You just need to put a little sincere feelings into the design of the arch for close friends, family or for yourself. Not everything that seems complicated at first glance is exactly that.
In addition, a wedding arch can play an important role in the interior of a banquet hall. In this case, the design of the arch should be combined with general style. As a rule, an arched vault marks the place for the newlyweds, beautifully decorating it with balloons, flowers, fabric and tree branches.
Today, many wedding salons provide rental services for wedding arches of various designs. However, making an arch with your own hands, as in the photo, will be much more interesting than “borrowing” for money a work of someone else’s creative imagination. Today we will look at the features of decorating arches for a wedding using different materials and decorative elements.
Wedding arch made of flowers - production and decoration
So, first let’s define the size and shape of our fairy-tale structure. There are wedding arches that are attached:
- on four bases - used in Jewish wedding ceremonies
- on two bases - in the shape of a horseshoe, heart, letter “P”, quadrangle
The second option is traditional, and it is much easier to make such an arch. It’s better to “involve” the groom and his friends in this action - let the finished wedding arch become pleasant surprise for the bride and guests.
In order to make a flower arch, you will need two metal-plastic pipes (each 3.5 m long, diameter from 2 to 5 cm), a cord plumb line, cement, sand, two flower pots or buckets (height 40 - 50 cm, diameter from 25 cm).
We start with “construction” work - you need to mix a cement solution and fill the pots with it. After this, we “stick” each pipe with one end into the pot, while the other remains free.
Note! The location of the structure must remain strictly vertical. Therefore, until the cement has hardened, the pipes should be carefully leveled using a building level.
Watch the step-by-step instructions in the video:
This is the basis of our future wedding arch. Now you need to wait for the cement to completely harden, which will happen no earlier than a week later. It is clear that the ceiling height of modern apartments most often does not allow the placement of such a three-meter structure. So the pipes should be bent at a distance of about two meters from the base and in this form the arch will fit perfectly in any room. The upper part of each pipe must be bent and connected to each other, forming an arc.
How to decorate an arch with flowers? It is better to use artificial flowers for decoration, since live ones are unlikely to retain their pristine freshness for a long time. We begin designing the arch after the cement has completely hardened. First, we drape the structure with organza or tulle, “masking” the base of the arch in the folds of the fabric. Then we wrap the arched vault with garlands of flowers, which need to be secured with tape. That's all - the artificial flower arch is ready. For greater naturalness, the composition can be supplemented with fresh flowers and plants, which need to be secured immediately before the start of the celebration.

This floral arch on four bases, decorated with fresh flowers in different shades of pink, is ideal for an outdoor wedding ceremony.
A traditional horseshoe-shaped arch will become graceful and romantic if you drape it with light white fabric and decorate it with flowers - soft pink, cream, yellow.
When decorating a banquet hall Special attention are given to the place of the newlyweds, which is accentuated with an arch entwined with greenery and flowers.
A heart-shaped wedding arch is a modern fashion trend. Flowers and other decorative elements should be in harmony with the overall style of the celebration.
Balloon arch
Today colorful garlands from balloons- a common option for decorating a banquet hall. The simplicity of this design is successfully combined with relatively inexpensive financial costs for the purchase of materials. So, how to make a wedding arch out of balloons with your own hands? First, let's learn how to make a garland of balloons.
We stock up on materials: latex balls, fishing line, rope and tape. In addition, you will need a pump or compressor - how else to “inflate” so many balloons?
Let's focus on the most optimal option, which is based on the creation of a “link” of four connected balls. After a certain number of such bundles have been collected, they are fastened into one garland.
Inflating the balloons
Before you start creating the bundles, you need to inflate the balloons. If you opted for a “four-ball” bunch, then the required number of balls is taken at the rate of 15 – 40 pieces (depending on size) per 1 meter of garland.
Forming links
It's simple - you just need to tie 4 balls together. We take 2 balls and fasten them to each other with “tails” using fishing line. Then we perform the same action with another pair of balls.
Now we cross the ligaments and tie them with tails in the center. For strength, twist the balls. We get one ready-made “link”.
Create a garland
For the base of a wedding arch made of balloons, we use a thin metal-plastic pipe, on which we form a garland of individual “links”. We put on the first bunch, move it to the very beginning of the pipe and twist together those balls between which the pipe passed. Then we attach the subsequent ligaments in the same way.
Important! When attaching the ligaments, you must ensure their correct position and combination with each other. Otherwise, you will have to disassemble and redo the composition again.

The frame must be strengthened so that everything holds. For metal-plastic pipes, you need to purchase holders for the base in the store, or you can use flower pots about forty centimeters high, with plaster or cement inside.
Next, you make an arch out of the pipe, placing both bases of the pipes in pots or buckets so that the ends touch the floor. Fill with cement or plaster and level the surface. And it’s important to give the mixture time to harden; if it’s gypsum, it takes a day. But the cement will need to stand for a week in a dry place.
When the frame is ready, you can start decorating the arch.

The color of fabric and decorations must be selected to suit the style and style. You need to fasten it as if the fabric flows from top to bottom. Can be secured with double-sided tape or tape.

They are treated with a special agent for longer use of an already cut flower without water and attached to the arch. 
The main part of the flowers is attached at the base of the arch legs and at the top. Or most of Flowers are attached to the upper part of the arch, and below there is a decoration with flowing fabric.

- Place both pots with pipes for a week in a place where nothing will fall on them, children, dogs and cats will not reach them - so that the cement sets and hardens, and the columns remain strictly vertical!

Measure 2 m and make a bend from the remaining one and a half meters. So that if you connect both pipes, you get a regular arc. The total height of the structure will be about 2.4 m, the distance between the columns will be 1.8 m.

Decorating a wedding arch with material is a very elegant and solemn decoration option. If the wedding is organized in the summer, then light fabrics will be an indispensable option for decoration: chiffon, organza, lace tulle and chintz. Winter celebrations allow the use of denser and heavier fabrics, such as velvet and velor.
To create a product using fabric you will need:
- material cut - at least 5 meters;
- satin ribbon – 2 meters;
- beads on a string - 4 meters;
- buds of artificial flowers to match the fabric.
Let's look at the step-by-step design:
- regardless of the shape of the future structure, the fabric is cut into two equal parts, its edges are processed;
- one edge of both cuts is ground down so that you can pass the binding and gather the fabric;
- the fabric is hung on the top crossbar of the frame using pins or curtain rings;
- the middle between the canvases is decorated with flowers, the base of which is attached using insulating tape and wire;
- at the end the product is decorated with beads.
A rectangular wedding arch decorated with ribbons looks very light and casual. Anyone can create such a decoration.
It will be necessary to stock up on colored satin ribbons with a total length of 80 meters and buds of artificial flowers.

- The ribbons are thrown over the top crossbar. To fix them, they can be basted or attached with hot glue.
- The corners of the arched structure are decorated with artificial flower buds using fishing line or wire.
A wedding arch decorated with flowers will add special charm and charm to the celebration. In this case, it can be of any shape, since the entire frame frame is framed with flowers. First, the frame of the structure is draped with fabric, for example, tulle. After this, a garland is created from artificial flowers, which is then carefully wrapped around the fabric and fixed using a construction stapler or hot glue. The denser the flowers are planted in the garland, the more voluminous and massive the final version of the product will look. The color of the flower arch should be combined with the overall color idea of the celebration.
The use of fresh flowers in decoration is more problematic. Here you cannot do without the help of specialists, since it is necessary to use only tempered flowers. With the help of special treatment, they can retain their natural beauty for a long time. The flowers used in the design of the product must be in harmony with the bride’s bouquet and the groom’s boutonniere.
An autumn wedding has its own charm and romanticism. At this wonderful time of year, nature dictates its fashion trends. Wedding arch decor for an autumn celebration requires adding colorful leaves, branches and flowers only in warm shades. Vegetables can be wonderful decorations.

The creation algorithm is simple to implement:
- tree twigs must be wrapped around the frame, intertwined with each other (for reliability, the structure is fixed with hot glue);
- maple leaves are tightly glued to the resulting base;
- in order to dilute the composition, bunches of rowan berries and buds of yellow flowers are added;
- Transparent glass beads, shaped like raindrops, are suspended on a fishing line around the perimeter of the upper part of the product.
An arch on a double frame looks unusual and beautiful. In a fabric and craft store you need to purchase beads, artificial flower buds, white knitted fabric, organza or chiffon in two colors: white and to match the wedding celebration.
From a pair of plastic pipes you will need to make a frame in the form of a double horseshoe. The knitted material is stitched into a tube-like shape and stretched over the base of the structure. To give the product a finished look, its ends are draped with pieces of light fabric. To do this, the material is cut into triangles, and its edges are processed to prevent fraying. The resulting pieces are sewn to the knitwear in even rows. The top of the composition is decorated with flower buds. The passage is decorated with two pieces of colored lightweight fabric in the form of curtains. Beads are hung from the upper arch.
For a shabby chic wedding, the arch can be made from an old screen or door. At first, such an idea may seem inappropriate and stupid, but the result will exceed all expectations. Here you need to get old doors or parts of the screen.
In order to bring them into proper shape, the surface of the products must be sanded and painted with white paint completely or with strokes of color, maintaining the effect of antiquity.
After the paint has dried, a frame is formed from wooden boards on which the doors are installed and securely fixed. Next, the resulting base of the product is decorated. Here you can show maximum imagination and decorate the doors with beautiful flower buds, bouquets, greenery, fabric drapery, and garlands of beads. You can place flowers in baskets at the base of the arch.
If the wedding celebration is held in eco-style, then an arch made of branches will be an indispensable attribute. In this case, you will have to work hard to find rods that can easily bend and take the desired shape. They are cleaned of excess dust and dirt and, if desired, covered with white paint. The best option would be spray paint.
The branches are twisted together and secured with wire. They perform the role of the frame independently. To ensure the stability of such an arch, its bases are fixed in supports, which can be made from any large container filled with cement. Decoration can be beads, material or greenery.
It is important not to forget that there are no boundaries or prohibitions in creating a wedding arch. Taking into account the general style of the celebration, the elegant design can be decorated with shells, fruits, branches with leaves, and even books.
