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?

I like to think of the open doors as the opening to our new lives

Neither, our ceremony is outside so the mountains will be in the background.

This one is a hard one for me... it really depends on the setting but I think I’ll have to go with arches.

WOW Allison! This is amazing! I've never seen pampas grass used for anything like this before! Are you having a pampas grass wall at your wedding? It's so popular lately😊

We likely will have a decorated arch so we don't cover up much of the window in the chapel. I am thinking of pampas grass for a backdrop though. Whether for the band, for photos, or another area bc I love the look.
