20 Beautiful Wedding Arbours and Arches

Modern Wedding Posted: February 18, 2015

Being wed under a wedding arch or canopy is a tradition steeped with beautiful meaning for many cultures. It can symbolise the home that a couple will build or the protection provided by the couples parents.

These days, wedding arches and canopies have been appropriated to ceremonies held outside traditional venues, and are used as a ceremonial backdrop. For non-denominational weddings, particularly those held outdoors, a wedding arch provides a focal point. Arches now come in many shapes and forms, from elaborate floral arbours to simple fabric backdrops and help to frame the most important part of the wedding day, the union, in a beautiful way. We've found 20 of our favourite wedding arches and arbours to inspire your special moment.
