Would you rather say your “I do’s” under a floral arch or in front of a bold backdrop? Which ceremony decor style gets your vote? Arches? Photo by Floral and Bloom Designs in Maryland Or Artwork?

    Ohh I see! Hmm. Will you and your FH be standing on the flat landing before the bottom of the stairs? Or on the wood flooring, at the base of the stairs?

    Perhaps an arch might still work, arching form arm rail to arm rail? Or even an extra tall arch that goes from the floor outside of the stairs over the area you will be standing? Smiley smile

    We are actually standing on the stairs. At the top of the four or so steps, there is a flat surface

    Makes sense Smiley smile Perhaps a narrower, taller arch may fit in that flat space where you will be standing? Smiley heart Have you talked to your venue about potentially having an arch there? As perhaps prior weddings have done this before and they might have some good ideas for placement.

    We had a simple arch/arbor made out of copper piping and then our florist added some greenery.

    I'm getting married in a Catholic Church so I guess it's a mixture of both? The ceiling is arched but there is a lot of color and artwork on the wall!


    For outdoor weddings, I think arches are really pretty!
