Our Favorite Wedding Arches and Floral Installations (Photo Gallery!)

Your ceremony backdrop is one of the most photographed spots of the entire day—it’s where you say “I do,” where your guests first see your floral vision come to life, and where countless memories are made. One of our favorite ways to elevate this moment is with a stunning wedding arch or floral installation.

From full, flower-filled arches to minimalist frames and dreamy floral meadows, here are some of our most-loved ceremony designs that make a statement and create lasting impressions.

1. The Open & Unstructured Arch

Effortless, romantic, and organic—this design style feels like the flowers are growing right out of the earth. Open, unstructured arches are perfect for couples who want something whimsical and natural. We love using seasonal blooms, asymmetrical shapes, and textured greenery to create a design that feels free-flowing and modern.

Best for: Outdoor weddings, garden ceremonies, and couples who love a less-traditional, nature-inspired vibe.

2. The Full Floral Arch

Go big or go home! Full floral arches are showstoppers—completely covered in blooms and greenery, offering a rich, immersive floral moment. These work beautifully as a ceremony backdrop and can often be repurposed behind a head table or cake display later in the evening.

Best for: Statement ceremonies, luxurious floral budgets, and photo-loving couples.

3. The Floral Meadow

Instead of going up, why not go low? Floral meadows are low, ground-level arrangements that line the aisle or frame the altar. They're soft, romantic, and incredibly versatile. We love creating lush meadows that feel like a wild garden springing up just for your vows.

Best for: Intimate ceremonies, outdoor spaces, or when you don’t want to block a view or need a freestanding structure.

4. Modern Minimalist Frames

Sometimes less is more. We’ve created beautiful installations using simple metal or wooden frames adorned with carefully placed blooms and greenery. These frames offer structure while letting the flowers shine in a curated, modern way.

Best for: Clean, contemporary aesthetics or industrial venues with strong architectural details.

5. Large Floral Arrangements on Columns

Probably the easiest to repurpose, we love large statement urns on pillars, framing the perfect ceremony in an indoor space! Be careful outside, as these hate the wind.

Best for: Indoor weddings, tented events, or when you want an artsy garden feel.

6. Using Existing Design as Inspiration

Does a structure already exist at the venue? We love to create unique pieces for specific on site structures. This is a great way to incorporate the overall vibe of the venue that you've chosen and enhance the beauty of your surroundings.

Best for: Trend-forward couples and those wanting something artistic yet grounded.

7. Repurposed Ceremony Florals

We always design with flexibility in mind. Many of our installations are created to be moved and repurposed after the ceremony—think aisle meadows moved to the sweetheart table, or broken arches flanking the dance floor. It’s a smart way to get the most beauty and value out of your floral investment.

Planning Your Floral Installations

No matter your ceremony style or budget, we love creating floral installations that feel personal and impactful. Our design process always includes a custom consultation to dream up the perfect backdrop for your wedding day.
