  • Fresh, dried or mixed stems to your palette
  • Delivery, install and safety check before guests

How it runs

How Arches & Floral Installations
actually runs

Big pieces need boring prep. The dramatic part is the photo; the important part is the ballast calculation nobody sees.

01 / site visit

Measure, photograph, check the wind

We visit the spot, watch how the breeze funnels, where the sun sits at ceremony time, and what the venue will let us touch.

02 / studio week

Engineer it, then make it pretty

Frame, ballast and mechanics come first. Then we tape, foam and stem-place the design so it photographs well from every guest seat.

03 / install day

Up early, gone before guests

Most arches stand inside two hours. We secure it, photograph it for you, and return to strike once the confetti settles.

Packages

Pick a scope,
we will price it straight

Size, stem density and site access drive the price. A straight-shot garden install usually costs less than a rooftop in a wind tunnel.

The Arch

$1,500 / piece

  • Freestanding ceremony arch, 2.2m
  • One-sided coverage to your palette
  • Delivery, install and same-day strike
  • Ballasted for lawns and hardstand
Most booked

The Statement

$2,900 / piece

  • Arch, arbour or grounded meadow, 3m+
  • Two-sided coverage for aisle photos
  • Matching plinth or signing-table piece
  • Early install plus next-morning strike

The Wow

$5,000 / piece

  • Suspended cloud or ceiling piece
  • Rigging plan signed off with venue
  • Custom stem selection and dye work
  • Two-person crew plus safety check

Dried and preserved designs cost about the same upfront but you keep them. Plenty of couples resell or reuse, which makes the maths friendlier.

Client words

They built a flower wall outside in actual wind and it did not move. Meanwhile my veil nearly ended up in the Derwent. Priorities clearly in order.

Straight answers

Questions people actually
ask about Arches & Floral Installations

If yours is not here, the form below goes straight to the florist holding the snips, not a chatbot.

Yes, if it is built for it. Ours are weighted with steel ballast rather than staked into sand, and every outdoor piece carries a wind rating. If the forecast tops the rating, we activate plan B the day before.

Fresh reads softer up close; dried survives anything and you keep it afterwards. Our usual call for windy sites is a mixed build: dried structure, fresh focal flowers.

Most just want to know it is freestanding and insured. We handle that conversation, send the rigging notes, and their bond stays safe because nothing attaches to their walls.

On the same site, yes, and it is the best value trick in weddings. We design two-sided pieces so the flip side reads as a photo backdrop. Moves between venues need a heads-up at quote stage.
Wind ratings here are honest ones. If a forecast exceeds what physics allows, we tell you early and shift the piece indoors rather than gamble with your ceremony and your guests.
