In Japan, where it’s common to have ceremonies inside chapels, flower arches were quite rare...

Just imagining having a wedding surrounded by such floral beauty makes me incredibly happy!

The Realistic Issue: What Are the Decoration Costs for Flower Arches?

But…

Wedding venue floral decorations can be quite expensive as it is.

Some may be wondering if a flower arch filled with blooms might be too much for their budget…

The cost of floral decorations for a flower arch depends on the amount of flowers used. For instance, this decoration that adorns the curved part of the top half of the arch costs about 80,000 yen.

If you want to decorate the entire arch with a generous amount of flowers, it could cost anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 yen.

As you might expect, flower arches can be quite pricey.

However, it would be a shame to give up just because "there's no budget!"

In fact, there's a way to make a flower arch look stylish even without an abundance of flowers!＊

That method is to decorate the flower arch with "tulle" or "organza"!

If you try to fill the entire frame of the flower arch, you'll need an incredible amount of flowers and greenery.

However, by wrapping tulle or organza around the frame and adding flowers as accents, you can significantly reduce the amount of flowers and greenery you use.

You can adjust where and how much volume to place the flowers, allowing for decoration of the flower arch according to your budget! ♡

Even if the frame is exposed, it looks glamorous and romantic with tulle or organza fabric wrapped around it.＊

There are even designs where the arch is decorated solely with tulle!

If the garden is already full of flowers and greenery, a flower arch only adorned with tulle blends stylishly into the scenery. ♡

Fabrics like tulle and organza are more cost-effective compared to fresh flowers or greenery, making them perfect for brides wanting a beautiful flower arch within their budget.

There are various patterns for how to arrange the fabric, so thinking about the best option can be fun! ♡

Here are three recommended decoration styles.

Tulle Flower Arch Decoration Style ① Canopy Style

The most classic approach is to decorate the flower arch with tulle or organza like a canopy.

Place flowers in one spot in the center or in two spots on either side. Decorating asymmetrically like this flower arch looks stylish. ◎

It’s recommended to cut the fabric long enough to drape to the ground and overlap.

Tulle Flower Arch Decoration Style ② Curtain Style

For a square flower arch, how about draping the fabric from both sides like a curtain? ＊

It's traditional to place flowers as if tying the opened curtain back.

Tulle Flower Arch Decoration Style ③ Carefree Style

If you want to create a stylish, international feel, this decoration style suggests wrapping long lengths of fabric loosely around the arch.

It creates a romantic ceremony, reminiscent of a scene from a movie! ♡
