Any idea where to start looking for an arch?

My wedding is going to be in a backyard now so I need to pull everything together. I've only seen one arch at a craft shop for about $20 but it was really cheap %26amp; flimsy. Where else do you go for that? Has anyone seen them at Home Depot, etc.? I couldn't find any on the website. I'm still keeping my florist who will be decorating the arch with a large center spray on top %26amp; some tool for the sides so it doesn't have to be incredible or anything. It's not really going to show. But, I also don't want it falling apart. Any ideas?

check for party rental companies in your area. Everywhere has them and you can rent a wedding arch from them if you don't like the one from the store.





Honestly though, I know it looks flimsy in the store but it also isn't anchored properly. It wont' fall down or anything so unless you're getting marred in a hurricane you should be fine.
Reply:Yes, Home Depot has them (look in the garden section); also, E-bay might be the place to look.
Reply:I saw some thru oriental trading.

I found theses ones and we might be getting one of them just because it comes with lights and stuff and we can decorate it however we want. B y the way we like the one that is for 30 or whatever it was.
Reply:My mother got a beautiful one from Canadian Tire (I'm from Canada). Check out websites like Home Depot or Sears. I'm sure you will find some. Also, Michaels had a really pretty one (here) but it was quite expensive.
Reply:Instead of spending $20 on an arch you may only use once, you can rent a strong arch from your local rental store. Check the yellow pages for Rental Service Stores. You can check a couple different places in the area to find the best price.
Reply:If you have a friend who's handy with a saw and screw driver, ask them if they would be willing to build you one-you'll buy the wood, screws, etc. and then THAT is thier wedding gift to you. You'll get exactly what you want, and you'll own it afterwards. It can become a garden decoration, or even a unique fixture in your house.





I've been doing that with a lot of the things I need for my wedding- my sister made my dress, a friend is doing photography, another friend is doing music for the ceremony. Since all my friends are flat broke, they seem to love the idea of giving a service instead of serving ware.
Reply:Most Party rental shops have them and can be rented for the day for approx. $20.00.
Reply:see if you can find a contractor in your area. I'm sure you can find one to build on for you pretty cheap. Otherwise, find rental stores in your area, they'll have some pretty sturdy ones.
Reply:My wedding was outside and on the beach. I rented my arch from the florist. Call around. I'm sure that some florists rent them.
Reply:I've seen them at Home Depot, craft stores, and the florist shops that I looked at. Or you could rent one. You can order them from a ton of places on the internet if you don't care if you see it in person beforehand.
