    I totally agree, Katie! They're super versatile as we can see here in the others' photos too... They can be traditional arch shaped, geometric, circular shaped while being covered & decorated in many ways, like florals, greenery, and more! Smiley heart

    Arches... The focus needs to be on us not the artwork. Lol

    Hi Erika! I saw these on my Pinterest. Depending what your venue/ceremony stairs are like & how they are or the setup, perhaps something like one of these pictures might work? To give you a backdrop or visual arch around your wedding ceremony on the stairs.

    Stairs covered in greenery and candles as the ceremony backdrop Style Showdown: Arches or Artwork? 1The stairs themselves, candles, greenery, and decor kindof act as an arch/backdrop, with the stairs going up behind them.

    Gazebo! So an arch, I guess. Our ceremony site is a garden behind a vintage house so we're skipping on adding too much to the gazebo's arch.

    Our ceremony site (not us) you can see the gazebo in the backgroundStyle Showdown: Arches or Artwork? 3GazeboStyle Showdown: Arches or Artwork? 4

    I love the floral arches more than the artwork in general.

    I wanted to say arches automatically but the artwork is really interesting. I think it could definitely work for certain spaces/couples.

    While artwork could be nice it's definitely arches for me. They're just more traditional and I love how they would accent the venue.

    Arches are beautiful and it doesn’t always have to be created with flowers.

    Hi Mitchlin! Welcome to WeddingWire and congrats on your engagement!

    So true! They're very versatile. One of my favorite arches from a wedding I attended had tea light candles hanging from the archway. Smiley heart
