Wedding planning is supposed to be an exciting time for the bride and groom-to-be. There are so many details that have to be covered in order to have a successful yet glamorous wedding.
Some of the details may not arise until you arrive to your wedding rehearsal. As you are decorating your ceremony location like the church, outdoor setting etc., an opportunity may arise for you to add a wedding arch to your decor. Do you choose this addition or do you reject it? It all depends on what kind of appearance it brings to the wedding setup. Does it make an elegant addition or does it just add clutter?
Of course the bride and groom-to-be have the final say if this is right for their wedding or not. The wedding arch may work better in the outdoors than it would in a church setting. If you are still uncertain take pictures at the rehearsal and ceremony location after it has all been decorated. When you go home, and if time allows, download all the pictures on the computer and scan through the photos, if you don’t like what you see then forego the arch. Making the right decision is so very important since you don’t want to regret it in the long run.
If you are in need of some more decorating ideas for the ceremony or the reception, Almost A Bride has ideas you may wish to consider and incorporate into your wedding planning.

we didn’t have one. we wanted to be open and inclusive. we felt like putting an arch up, would seclude us from our guests.
If you’re doing it outdoors, then I can see how an arch might add some structure to the ceremony. Otherwise, it might be odd if the couple and the officiant are just standing with nothing behind them. Sort of frames the pictures. Just put some nice flowers on it.
