Wedding arches diy

SRD, on May 10, 2018 at 9:50 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 4
I am looking into doing my own wedding arch with some 2x4 wood. Is anyone else doing their own arch? I plan to add fabric and fake flowers but still looking into those two things as well. Does anyone know how long the fabric needs to be for a arch? If you are doing or have already done your arch, how did you transport it to the venue?

    I did not DIY my arch, but I love it when people do! I recommend building your arch in an easy way to put together and take apart for transportation. I'm no hardware expert, but maybe see if there's a way to make the "joints" rotate so the "legs" of the ath swing up and it's more like carrying 3 logs stacked up. Or just find a way to disassemble completely. Either way should fit a standard SUV or truck, though you may have to share your center console. If your back seat of your car has an armrest that opens to the trunk, that might make the squeeze. Definitely test it.

    Depending on the size of your arch, I usually recommend 5 yards of fabric. This amount usually covers the look you want and has a little extra to play with if you want to drape the top dramatically.

    Building your arch sounds like a fun project! Please share photos when you have completed it! It will add such a lovely sentiment to your ceremony!

    from this link link this is the most closely resemblance of what we plan to do. We will still decorate it with fabric and fake flowers. I plan on going to Joann’s for the fabric but was just unsure on how much to ask for. For the flowers I can try hobby lobby.

    I will also share photos too once we get to that point. But this is a better link of the way I want the arch to look https://pin.it/mc4yeyhlpqj6d7
