Repurposing the ceremony arch?

Chantelle, on April 4, 2021 at 10:17 AM Posted in Planning 0 4
Hello! We have a large DIY floral circle arch for our outdoor ceremony Smiley smile I am wanting to repurpose it in our reception (same venue space right next to the outdoor terrace) as a photo op background. But the complete arch is too big to fit through any of the venue’s doors. It is very lightweight, just large, so it would require some breakdown/reassembly of its pieces to make it indoors. Each greenery/floral section is already securely attached to a section of the arch (4 sections). So it would be unscrewing the arch apart, taking the four sections and the base indoors, and screwing the sections back together for the complete arch.


Would I be able to ask the venue and/or my DOCs for help with this? Resetting the arch in the reception area after the ceremony? While wedding party is taking photos and guests in another area for cocktail hour. Or does this seem unrealistic? I have two DOCs (main lady and her assistant) and venue coordinator/staff. If anyone was able to successfully repurpose a ceremony arch at their reception please advise! Thanks in advance Smiley heart
Arch is similar to this. It’s not super thick.Repurposing the ceremony arch? 1

    It doesn’t hurt to ask. I don’t think it sounds like an unreasonable request.

    Adding. I would ask your DOC first. If she can’t/won’t, then ask the venue

    What will be happening with that arch between now and next Oct.? Will others be planning to use it, disassembling and moving it between now and then? Do they have a clip board to show reservarions/ changes to it that customer s are planning between now and then?

    I think the DOC’s could do that for you. I would ask them.
