3. Ground Arrangement

No wedding arch? No problem! There are many reasons why you might not want an arch at all, maybe it is not in your budget or maybe there are restrictions on them at the location you are getting married like at Red Rock Canyon. Just because you don’t have a wedding arch doesn’t mean that you have to stand up there with nothing! We can still create gorgeous ground arrangements using rugs, floral, lanterns, whatever fits your style!

5. Traditional Arch

Traditionally the wedding arch is a symbol of the future home the couple will begin their life in. The chuppah is a traditional Jewish tapestry attached to the tops of four poles. The word chuppah means covering or protection & is meant to represent a roof for the newlyweds. It is a lovely tradition that can still look modish & luxurious.
