    I want to say both. Overrated because it's unnecessary but at same time it's so pretty and does provide a focal point

    Overrated just because it’s a common type of arch but it is lovely

    Overrated. We have an arch way but we're not using any florals on it.

    I don’t think they’re overrated, I think they have gotten so popular because they provide a great photo backdrop and focal point for the ceremony when people are getting married in non-traditional venues. My grandparents got married in an absolutely beautiful Catholic Church with a stunning white marble altar behind them, but only one of my aunts got married in a church and everyone else I know has gotten married outside the church. An arch helps define the space.

    Overrated. We are just using greenery to decorate and only pay for bouquets as far as flowers go.

    Underrated. I wish we could do this for our wedding because of how beautiful it looks! However, the price wasn't in our budget. Smiley sad

    Overrated. They are so pretty, but they come with a price to have them look nice! We are skipping it.

    Underrated. We are having our ceremony at the same place as our reception, the community center where we met at a dance back in 1985. We are having an arch as the spot for our ceremony and using it for photos after. I love the one in the pic you posted, just not sure of getting that into the venue. I found a lighted one on Walmart.com and i'll be adding some flowers to it

    I’ll go underrated because I think they are very pretty. Especially in photos. They add so much color! We are having one.

    Overrated. Photo props are cool, but arches just seem really out of place irl.
