Wedding arches serve as the backdrop that frames couples as they exchange their vows, providing a visual focal point. The way you decorate your arches reflects your wedding aesthetic. Wedding arch decorations play a pivotal part in setting the ambiance for your wedding ceremony. This guide will go over how to drape a wedding arch and teach you tips on how to decorate your arch to create a picture-perfect space. 

Choosing the Right Fabric

Your first step in draping will be to choose the right type of fabric for your arch. It's important to consider the theme and setting of your wedding when considering the fabric draping. These are popular choices for wedding arches:

Velvet

Velvet with its thick properties is a great choice for cold or windy outdoor weddings as it holds its shape against the wind.

Tulle

Tulle is a popular choice as this light and airy fabric gives a flowing feel to your arch, making it a perfect choice for a timeless white wedding.

Chiffon

Chiffon is another great choice for draping as it is lightweight. Chiffon flows well in open spaces while the sheer properties of chiffon allow for light to shine through.

When choosing a color for the fabric of your wedding drapery, keep your design theme in mind. Opt for colors that complement or positively contrast with your chosen aesthetic. Popular wedding choices include white and ivory for a classic wedding drape look. Coral gives a more modern and romantic look to your wedding backdrop.
