diy on a budget (red Rose Floral Arch for ceremony)

Your arch is one place you can easily use silk flowers, or even less expensive ones from the dollar store. Your guests aren't close enough to see the difference.

Consider making one floral arrangement in a block of foam, and wiring it asymmetrically on to the arch.

If you have some choice in the arch, consider using something different like ladders. One simple floral arrangement and some draping is all you need. Forget the side florals, make the arch more of a focus

Our wedding arch was also DIY. We got a white metal arch and decorated with silk flowers, organza, and hanging candles.
