Backdrops, Arches & Stands for Events & Weddings

Do I need to have an arch at my wedding?
While you don't necessarily need a wedding arch, they can add a beautiful and romantic touch to your ceremony, creating a stunning backdrop for your special day and enhancing the overall ambiance. It's a wonderful way to make your wedding ceremony even more memorable and visually appealing.

The best material for a wedding backdrop depends on your wedding's theme, style, and personal preferences. Some popular materials for wedding backdrops include:

1. Ice Silk Wedding Backdrop Fabric: Ice silk is a luxurious and smooth fabric known for its soft and glossy appearance. It creates an elegant and modern backdrop with a subtle shimmer. It's a popular choice for contemporary weddings and adds a touch of sophistication to the decor.

2. Chiffon Wedding Backdrop Fabric: Chiffon is a lightweight and sheer fabric that drapes beautifully. It creates a romantic and ethereal backdrop with a soft, flowing quality. Chiffon is often chosen for its ability to add a dreamy and airy ambiance to wedding settings.

3. Sequin Wedding Backdrop Fabric: Sequin fabric is adorned with shimmering sequins that reflect light and create a sparkling, glamorous effect. It's perfect for adding a touch of glitz and glamour to your wedding backdrop, making it a standout feature at your celebration.

4. Tulle Wedding Backdrop Fabric: Tulle is a delicate and fine net-like fabric that is often used for its soft and whimsical appearance. It can be draped, layered, or gathered to create a light and airy backdrop that imparts a sense of romantic enchantment. Tulle is versatile and can be used in various wedding themes, from rustic to fairytale.

5. Artificial Floral and Greenery Walls and Arches as Wedding Backdrops:  Artificial floral and greenery walls exude elegance and beauty. They can be customised to match your wedding colour palette and floral choices, creating a cohesive and visually appealing decor element.

The cost of a wedding backdrop or arch can vary widely depending on several factors, including the materials used, size, design complexity, location, and where you source it. Hiring backdrops and arches can add up and some sellers charge high mark ups on their products.

How do I clean and maintain my backdrop after the event?
Cleaning and maintaining your wedding backdrop after the event is essential to ensure it stays in good condition for potential future use or resale. The specific cleaning and maintenance procedures may vary depending on the material of your backdrop, but here are some general guidelines:

1. Fabric Backdrops (Chiffon, Tulle, etc.):

   • Gently shake off any loose dirt or debris.
   • Check for any stains or spots and spot-clean them with a mild detergent and water. Test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the fabric.
   • If the backdrop is machine washable, follow the care instructions on the label. Use a delicate cycle with cold water and a gentle detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals.
   • Air dry the backdrop by hanging it on a clothesline or draping it over a clean surface. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can fade the fabric.
   • Once it's dry, store the backdrop in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Folding it carefully can help prevent creases.
     
     

2. Artificial Floral and Greenery Backdrops:

   • Dust off any loose dirt or debris using a soft brush or cloth.
   • Check the flowers and greenery for any damage or loose pieces. Reattach or repair as needed using floral wire or glue.
   • If your backdrop has fabric components, follow the cleaning instructions for the fabric portion.
   • Store the floral and greenery backdrop in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Consider covering it with a breathable fabric or plastic to protect it from dust.
     
     

3. Sequin or Specialty Backdrops:

   • Gently shake or brush off any loose sequins or decorations.
   • Check for stains or spots and spot-clean using a mild detergent and water, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
   • If the backdrop is machine washable, follow the care instructions on the label. Use a gentle cycle with cold water.
   • Air dry the backdrop flat to prevent sequin damage or distortion.
   • Store it in a cool, dry place, avoiding direct sunlight or excessive heat.

Regularly inspect your backdrop for any damage, such as tears, fraying, or broken parts, and repair them promptly. Properly storing your backdrop in a clean, dry environment will help preserve its quality and extend its lifespan for future use. Taking care of your backdrop ensures that it remains in excellent condition for future events or resale, if desired.

What size wedding arch do I need?
The size of the wedding arch you need depends on several factors, including the number of people standing under it, the design aesthetic you desire, and the dimensions of your wedding venue. Here are some considerations to help you determine the appropriate size for your wedding arch:

1. Ceremony Space: Measure the available space at your ceremony venue to ensure that the arch fits comfortably. Make sure it doesn't overcrowd the area or obstruct views. Consider the height of the ceiling or outdoor space as well.

2. Number of People: Think about how many people will be standing under or near the arch during the ceremony. Ensure that there's enough room for the couple, the officiant, and any bridal party members or guests if applicable.

3. Arch Style: Different arch styles have different dimensions. Some are more compact and minimalist, while others are larger and more ornate. Choose a style that aligns with your vision for the ceremony.

4. Aesthetic Preference: Your aesthetic preference may influence the arch size. If you want a grand and dramatic look, a larger arch may be suitable. For a more intimate or minimalist feel, a smaller arch could work.

5. Floral and Decor: Consider how you plan to decorate the arch. If you intend to cover it with lush floral arrangements or drapery, factor in the added width and height when determining the arch size.

6. Photography: Think about the angles from which you want to capture photographs. A larger arch can provide a more visually striking backdrop for photos.

7. Transportation: Ensure that the arch can be transported to the venue and fit through doorways or entry points. Consider whether it can be assembled on-site if it's too large to transport fully assembled.

8. Budget: The size of the arch can impact the cost, as larger arches may require more materials and decoration. Keep your budget in mind when making your decision.

Generally, a typical wedding arch might range from 1.5 to 3 meters in width and 2 to 3 meters in height. However, these dimensions can vary based on your preferences and venue constraints. It's essential to discuss your specific needs and vision with your wedding decorator or rental company to ensure you choose the right size arch that complements your wedding ceremony beautifully.
