Arch Stands / Frames
This is the arch stand I use as the base for my flower arches.
It’s stable, easy to assemble, and holds up well with heavier floral designs
Curved Metal Wedding Arch Stand 8.2FT Gold
I use this arch when I want a clean backdrop.
It can be fully covered with flowers or partially covered, depending on the look.
Wedding Arch Backdrop Stand 7.2FT Gold
I use this round arch when I want a soft, elegant look.
It works beautifully with asymmetrical florals and looks great partially or fully covered with flowers.
Wokceer 8FT Gold Round Backdrop Stand
I use this triangular arch when I want a modern, architectural look.
It works best with asymmetrical florals placed on the sides or top.
8.3FT Gold Triangle Arch Wedding Backdrop
I use these as accent pieces rather than a full arch.
They work beautifully for aisle entrances, ceremony sides, or framing a backdrop.

How I Attach the Flowers
Most of the time I use white pool noodles to attach artificial flowers to the arch.
They hold flowers really well, are great quality, and I reuse them many times.
Play22 Soft Large White Pool Noodle Foam
I use green pool noodles mostly for darker-colored arrangements.
They blend in much better and are easier to hide behind greenery and flowers.
Oodles of Noodles Deluxe Rainbow Pool Noodles - Pack of 5
I use zip ties to attach pool noodles to the frame.
I usually go with clear or white ones since they blend in better, and I mostly use the 12-inch length.

Greenery & Base Flowers
Italian ruscus is my favorite greenery to use.
It looks very natural, covers the frame really well, and helps everything blend together nicely.
20Pcs Italian Ruscus 23" Artificial Silk Stems
Ficus leaves look similar to Italian ruscus but have bigger leaves and a glossier finish.
They look super realistic and add great texture to arrangements.
12PCS 24" Faux Ficus Leaves Branches Green
Hydrangeas are one of the easiest flowers to work with.
They’re usually sold in bulk and give great coverage, which makes filling out an arch much faster.

Statement Flowers
White roses are a classic statement flower I use all the time.
They add softness and elegance, and mix beautifully with greenery and filler flowers.
Hananona 50 White Velvet Silk Roses Bulk
I love using delphinium as a statement flower for added height and movement.
It helps create a more airy, natural look and balances out fuller blooms.
4PCS Pink Artificial Delphinium Flowers 33.5"
Anthurium lilies are a great statement flower when I want something bold and modern.
They add a sculptural look and instantly elevate the arrangement.

Tools I Always Use
I use these to cut flower stems and trim extra zip tie length during setup.
Wire Cutters Hand Tool
I use this knife to cut pool noodles cleanly and quickly.
It makes shaping and sizing them much easier during setup.
