Leslie created this beautiful arch design at Papermill last weekend!
Here are some tips on building an arch:👇
~Basic rectangular arches are the easiest to build
~Take careful measurements of the doorways that you will need your arch to go through
~Make a plan for how you will transport your arch to the venue and if it will need to be transferred to the reception
~Make a plan for where you will place your arch in your venues to consider beams or lighting features and plan your arch sizing accordingly
~Create solid bases/feet to your arch to withstand wind if outdoors, and the weight of a front-facing floral installation (flowers are heavy!)
~Make your arch early and send photos to your vendors that will be using them
I know most of these are common sense, but we have had all of these scenarios happen! The biggest issue we have had are arches that aren’t structurally sound to support a floral installation. This is a very stressful situation for us and of course is not great for our clients either! The arch pictured was well supported. 🙌
