Can I move the arch once the ceremony is over?

Your rental fee includes 1 location move. That means that we will place your arch in one location (think ceremony location) and then move it to a secondary location like the reception area. We do ask that you not attempt to move the arch once placed - that’s what we are there for!

Can I add fresh fresh flowers to my arch?

Of course! Adding some fresh blooms to your faux floral arch is a great way to add a little fragrance and your own signature style. We will always aim to use seasonal flowers from local farms first but are happy to work with you to bring your vision to life. Let us know if this is something you would like to discuss.

Can you match my color palette?

The arches are designed to work with many color palettes and can be customized by adding some fresh blooms. If you want to discuss a completely different color palette, let us know and we will do everything we can to help.

Can you make my bridal bouquet too?

Oh yes. We would love to make the bridal bouquet of your dreams. Personal flowers (bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages) are all made from fresh flowers sourced from local farmers whenever possible. If you want to discuss adding personal flowers or flowers for your reception, just let us know!

Are artificial flowers bad for the environment?

We recognize that there are pros and cons of using faux florals versus real. Plastic flowers are made from plastic and there are environmental impacts from the production process. However, they are reusable and only have to be shipped to us once. Fresh flowers are often grown outside of the US using toxic pesticides. They are then flown to the US, used for an event, and discarded.

We firmly support local flower farms, farmers, and sustainable growing and floral design practices. We don’t use floral foam in any of our designs and strive to minimize waste. It’s all about balance and we are constantly seeking ways to improve our practices.

Will the flowers look fake?

Faux florals have come a long way and look and, in some cases, feel incredibly real. They will never be completely the same as real flowers but for larger items - like an arch - that are designed to look good in photographs and from a distance, we think that you will be hard pressed to notice a difference.
