Description
The ceremony arch is the most photographed floral piece of the wedding and the one most likely to go wrong on site. Quote it by guesswork and you either lose money on stems or arrive with too little to cover the frame. Build it without a mechanics and anchoring plan and the wind decides how your day ends.
Ceremony Arch and Arbour Floral Recipes gives you the numbers. Coverage zones, stem counts, foliage bases, build times and a timed install plan you can hand straight to your crew.
What is inside
- A coverage and cost planner for six designs, from single corner to full surround
- Recipe one: the single corner asymmetric, broken into three zones with a full stem list
- Recipe two: the double corner, including which side to weight and why
- Recipe three: the full surround, built in sections with overlapping joins
- A foliage base table — role, out-of-water stamina and notes for nine materials
- Mechanics on the frame in six steps: caging, hiding, watering, fixing without damage
- Wind, weather and anchoring, including an agreed wind trigger and heat plan
- Site questions to ask before you design a single cluster
- A printable install and dismantle plan with crew and sign-off columns
- A full arch build sheet covering frame, mechanics, weight, labour and price
- On-site kit list and what separates a good arch from a great one
Who it is for
Florists moving into ceremony installation work, stylists who build their own arch florals, and planners who need to brief and check a florist’s install properly.
After you use it, you will quote from stem counts rather than hope, arrive with the right mechanics and the right weights, finish inside your install window, and leave the site clean. Best of all, your arch will look the same in the evening photographs as it did when you stepped back from it.
