Do you want to DIY your wedding arch?

If you want to make your own arch for your big day, that is totally fine. But you MUST ask yourself some questions!

• Do you have to build it before the day? If not, how long does it take? Add half an hour to any estimare you come up with.

• Who has the vehicle space to haul a completed arch?

• How much stuff do you need to build it? Zip ties, pool noodles, fake flowers?

• Can you bring it to the venue beforehand?

• Who is going to set it up?

• Does it need to be taken down after the ceremony? Who will have the time and do that?

• Who is going to move it if you want it at the reception?

• Can you preserve whatever is attached or will it be ruined when taken apart?

• How do you keep it nice so it can be reused?

• Who is taking it down at the end of the night? Who is hauling it away?
  
  This is the kind of thing that seems easy and will save money, but you HAVE to think through all the logistics so that you don’t stress yourself out.
  
  And if you hire a coordinator, make sure they will build arches!
