Botanical Arches for Weddings & Events: A Nature-Infused Frame for Unforgettable Moments

There are few elements more symbolic — or photogenic — than a beautifully designed arch. Whether framing a wedding ceremony, enhancing a stage, or creating a striking backdrop for a celebration, my custom botanical arches transform any space into a dreamlike, nature-inspired setting.

Handcrafted with paper cutouts and layered collage, these arches serve as poetic focal points — immersive, elegant, and tailored to the atmosphere you want to create.

Designed to Scale. Crafted with Intention.

Each arch begins as a digitally rendered mockup, designed to the dimensions of your venue and developed in close collaboration with you or your planner. From there, I handcraft botanical elements using paper, collage, and lightweight sculptural techniques to build a structure that feels vibrant and alive.

Arches can be:

  • Freestanding or mounted

  • Designed for indoor or outdoor use

  • Built from sustainable or biodegradable materials

  • Created in modular sections for easy transport and setup

  • Lush and maximalist or minimal and sculptural — based on your vision

The final piece is always site-specific, built to complement the light, surroundings, and emotion of your event.

More Than a Decoration — A Visual Story

These custom arches work beautifully for:

  • Wedding ceremonies

  • Editorial shoots

  • Outdoor elopements or vow renewals

  • Product launches or brand celebrations

  • Intimate stages or live performances

They provide a powerful sense of place and emotion — framing not just a moment, but a memory.

Let’s Design the Scene Together

If you’re envisioning a nature-inspired focal point for your special event, I’d love to help bring it to life. Let’s collaborate on a botanical arch that will be as unforgettable as the moment it holds.
