White Metal Freestanding Arch "Aria", 8' Tall by 7.5' Wide Wedding and Event Backdrop With Decorative Scrollwork
Making your clients' dreams come true is of course, the goal of every designer and event planner and our White Metal Arch Backdrop "Aria" can be a large part of making that dream come true! This elegant arch is comprised of 2 full circles with 7 1/2" of decorative scrolls and crossbars between the circles (meaning, a lot of attachment points for adding bling!). The outer circle measures 8' tall by 7.5' wide so this backdrop arch makes quite a grand statement! "Aria" sits 3" off the ground, supported by 2 legs, each measuring 23 3/4" by 1'. There are 5 arcs made from hollow channel tubing that insert into each other and it weighs 17 lbs.
From a traditional church wedding to a garden or beach setting, this arch is the ideal backdrop for the "I Do's" and it's the perfect picture framer. The ornate scrollwork might be enough embellishment for your client but if their style is rustic, glamorous or they can't get enough flowers or sparkle and shine, "Aria" offers a beautiful setting for any taste, theme or style.
Embellish with Hanging Floral Garlands and Draping Sprays, add a touch of greenery, hang butterfly garlands or drape with tulle and fairy string lights. Wrap some beaded crystal strands and hang long crystal pendants to up the glitz factor! To conceal the feet of the arch try a flower or landscape wall mat which has a grid framework that can slip over the pipes on the bases. This arch also makes a top-notch backdrop for proms, weddings, parties and events and you could even hang a luxurious Chandelier Decoration or dangle glass candle holders.
Whatever vision your client has for their big day or special event, "Aria" is the perfect framework to highly satisfy and make their wish come true!
Base Weights: Many customers like to add weight to the bases so that they do not tip over. Some customers use bricks and hide them with florals, and some customers use sandbags. You can even use play sand inside of ziplock bags! It is very easy to hide the bricks or sandbags, especially when greens are involved. You can also disguise bricks or ziplock bags using black or green duct tape!
Foam or Foam Free Installation of Florals: There are many mechanics to use when adding florals to this structure. You can use Foam or make a Foam-Free design using chicken wire. There are some tutorials online that you can check out. our friend Sarah Campbell from Intrigue Designs also teaches a class on this.
Three Different Techniques shared by Vi Nguyen of Picotte Flowers:
1. Attach dry foam then insert greenery on it, water tubed all my blooms. It help a lot with the weight 2. Wrap chicken wire around, insert green cause it doesn't need water source during an event. Water tube my blooms. You will still need some weights. 3. I once used wet foam, lots of weight, still it tilted.
