Transform your ceremony with floral arches and backdrops. Beth’s Flowers shares ideas for creating stunning wedding arches and photo-worthy backdrops.

Why Arches & Backdrops Matter

Your wedding ceremony is where the magic happens—the vows, the kiss, the “I do.” A floral arch or backdrop frames these moments and creates a breathtaking focal point for both guests and photos. At Beth’s Flowers, we design arches and backdrops that not only complement your style but also become unforgettable parts of your wedding story.

🌿 Classic Floral Arches

Timeless and romantic, floral arches are a favorite for ceremonies.

Ideas include:

Full-Bloom Arches: Covered entirely in roses, hydrangeas, or peonies for a lush, dramatic effect.
Greenery Arches: Eucalyptus, ivy, or ferns accented with just a few key flowers for an organic feel.
Asymmetrical Designs: Clusters of blooms arranged on one side for a modern, stylish look.

🌸 Creative Ceremony Backdrops

Not every backdrop has to be an arch. Think beyond tradition with:

Floral Walls: A wall of carnations, roses, or mixed seasonal blooms—perfect for both vows and photo ops.
Hanging Installations: Flowers suspended from above for a whimsical canopy effect.
Geometric Frames: Hexagons, circles, or triangles draped in flowers for a trendy, modern vibe.

🌺 Seasonal Flair

Make your arch or backdrop reflect the time of year:

Spring: Cherry blossoms, tulips, pastel roses.
Summer: Sunflowers, dahlias, and bright tropicals.
Fall: Rich-toned chrysanthemums, marigolds, and pampas grass.
Winter: Evergreen branches, amaryllis, and white lilies with silver accents.

🌷 Double Duty Designs

Arches and backdrops don’t have to be limited to the ceremony. Repurpose them for the reception by placing them:

Behind the sweetheart table.
At the cake display.
As a photo booth backdrop for guests.

🌟 Personal Touches

Make your arch or backdrop uniquely yours by incorporating:

Ribbons, lanterns, or string lights.
Family heirlooms woven into the design.
Monograms or signage surrounded by blooms.

Beth’s Flowers: Framing Your Forever
