Selecting a Floral Arch That Suits Your Utah Wedding Venue
Arches, arbors, floral nests, and accent arrangements. What’s the difference, and how do you know which type of floral design will best suit your chosen Utah wedding venue? Through the details below, we’re covering each focal point option for your ceremony. We’ve also included details on design, experience, price, and the type of Utah wedding venue each ceremony arrangement is best suited for.
Traditional Wedding Arch - Fully Connected
When you think of a floral arch for your Utah wedding ceremony, this traditional shape may come to mind. It’s essentially an arched half-circle shape affixed to the ground, creating a visual of florals that flows from one end to the other. This design is highly impactful and ideal for couples who want to experience a fully immersive wedding day floral experience.
The full rainbow shape arch is curated using a high number of florals, adding an air of romance to your wedding ceremony. A full floral arch at your Utah wedding ceremony also lends itself to a dramatic wedding photography experience, where every frame is filled with fresh, long-lasting wedding florals. This intentional structure and vision of a full, traditional wedding arch serves as a focal point for your wedding ceremony.
Average Cost: $1500 - $3500
Best for: Blank space venue, barn venues, rustic settings, luxury wedding venues, ballrooms and hotels, fully immersive floral experience, mid-range to high-end wedding budgets.
Deconstructed Wedding Arch - Organic and Asymmetric Shape
The inception of the deconstructed wedding arch took the idea of the traditional arch and broke it apart, literally. A Utah wedding with a deconstructed arch enjoys a piece that is crafted from two side-by-side towering floral pillars that almost meet in the middle, but do not touch. The design is more free and organic, adding a dash of whimsy to the ceremony space at your Utah venue.
Just like it’s full scale counterpart, the deconstructed wedding arch is crafted with a number of flowers that all work together to fit your wedding day vision, all while being mindful of your budget. But the main difference between the deconstructed arch and its full, more traditional counterpart is twofold. First, that break in the center of a deconstructed arch is less ‘imposing’ than a traditional arch, leaving room for wedding venues with mountain views, while enhancing your overall photography experience. Second, a deconstructed arch is much easier to move. Giving you the flexibility to repurpose this piece at your wedding reception.
Average Cost: $850 - $3500
Best for: Blank space venue, barn venues, rustic settings, mountain wedding venues, luxury wedding venues, ballrooms and hotels, immersive floral experience, mid-range and high-end wedding budgets.
Accent Pieces & Arrangements for a Structured Arbor
This option for wedding ceremony florals incorporates pieces and arrangements that are either affixed to a structure or placed on pedestals. A select number of Utah wedding venues offer an arbor or ceremony structure to their couples as part of their venue package. This eliminates the need for a full floral arch at your Utah wedding. Instead, it shifts the focus to enhancing the pre-existing structure at the venue. Likewise, you may have sourced a geometric arch or arbor from a wedding rental company but find that it needs something to tie together your overall design.
The idea behind accent pieces is to create an arrangement embodying your wedding day vision that can be adhered to a structure, while still lending itself to your overall wedding day design. Pieces are created with the shape of the arbor in mind and typically affixed to one side. In order to amplify your arbor accent piece even further, the couples we work with also select arrangements to line the aisle of their ceremony along with pieces that can reside on pedestals surrounding their ‘altar’.
Average Cost: $350 - $1200 per piece
Best for: Blank space venue, barn venues, rustic settings, mountain wedding venues, enhanced floral installation experience, budget-friendly, and mid-range wedding budgets.
Floral Nest
Utah mountain wedding venues provide some of the most unforgettable views, shaping the experience that unfolds over the course of your wedding day. For couples planning a wedding at a highly picturesque location, we recommend using a floral nest for your wedding ceremony. All in all, allowing you to enjoy a personally curated floral experience without obstructing the views in the backdrop of your ceremony.
Floral nests rest on the ground and can be created in varying heights and widths. Their overall design aims to create a semicircle that surrounds you while exchanging your wedding vows. They are crafted through a multi-piece approach that comes together for a cohesive aesthetic. Floral nests are also a great option for couples who need to be respectful of a specific floral budget. The addition of greenery within a floral nest allows you to enjoy a high-impact design through a more budget-conscious option.
Average Cost: $850 - $2500
Best for: Mountain wedding venues, rustic settings, desert or canyon weddings, garden wedding venues, enhanced floral installation experience, mid-range and high-end wedding budgets.
