Whether you're going for romantic, boho, or modern vibes, we've rounded up some seriously fun indoor wedding arch ideas to make your big day unforgettable. Let's dive in!

1. Floral Fantasy Arch

If you're all about romance, a floral-filled arch is a total crowd-pleaser. Picture a cascade of roses, peonies, or even wildflowers draping over your arch, filling the air with fresh, fragrant vibes. You can go all out with colour or keep it soft and pastel,  it is your floral dream come true!

Pro Tip: Mix in some greenery like eucalyptus or ivy for texture and depth. The more lush, the better! For the best florals, reach out to Royal Blooms. Our talented team can create a custom floral arch that’s as breathtaking as your love story.


2. Boho Vibes

For the free-spirited couple, a boho chic arch screams laid-back elegance. Think macrame, dreamcatchers, and feathers, mixed with wildflowers and greenery for that earthy, natural feel. It's like the arch is a part of nature itself – how cool is that?

Pro Tip: Wooden arches work best here. You can DIY your own macrame backdrop or even add some hanging crystals for a little sparkle. And if you want to add some extra charm, Royal Blooms can create a boho-inspired floral arch that blends seamlessly with your free-spirited vibe!


3. Rustic Charm with Wooden Arch

Got a barn or country venue? A rustic wooden arch will blend in perfectly with that charming country feel. You can keep it simple with twine and greenery or go all out with fairy lights, mason jars, or even burlap ribbons. It’s like country chic meets cosy romance!


Pro Tip: Add a few lanterns or vintage glass bottles along the sides for that extra homey, rustic touch. Royal Blooms can help bring the rustic charm to life with their curated selection of blooms that’ll perfectly complement your wooden arch.

4. Velvet and Glamour

If you're leaning toward elegance and drama, a velvet-draped arch will definitely turn heads. Velvet in rich jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, or deep plum adds a luxurious feel, while a bit of glitz, think of gold or silver accents that brings the wow factor. It’s basically the red carpet of wedding arches!

Pro Tip: Hang twinkling fairy lights or a chandelier for that extra touch of glamour. You're practically royalty at this point. If you're looking for floral elegance to match, Royal Blooms has an amazing range of lush florals and arrangements that’ll perfectly complement your glam velvet arch.

5. Modern Geometric Arch

For a more contemporary vibe, a geometric arch is the way to go. Think clean lines, sharp angles, and a bit of metal or acrylic. It's sleek, stylish, and totally social media worthy. Not a lot of flowers required, just a few clever accents, and you're good to go.

Pro Tip: Add greenery or pops of bright flowers around the base to bring in a little colour. A few strategically placed lights can make this design even more eye-catching. Royal Blooms can add modern floral arrangements to complement your geometric arch,  bold, structured floral designs that pop!

6. Hanging Floral Garden

For a mind-blowing indoor wedding arch idea, picture this: a hanging floral garden arch suspended from the ceiling, with flowers cascading down like a fairy tale! This design creates the illusion of a floating garden and adds a serious “wow” factor to your ceremony. Dreamy, right?


Pro Tip: Use sheer fabric for a soft, ethereal effect. It'll look like the flowers are floating in mid-air like magic. Need help bringing this magical vision to life? Royal Blooms can create a suspended floral masterpiece that’ll take your ceremony to new heights.

7. Vintage Lace Romance

If you’re obsessed with all things vintage, a lace-covered arch is calling your name. Lace adds that soft, delicate texture, while a few well-placed flowers or ribbons create a nostalgic, romantic vibe. Think of it as stepping into a classic love story.


Pro Tip: Go full vintage with antique lighting (think chandeliers or candles in glass jars) and maybe a few cute love notes scattered around. It’ll be like stepping back in time. Royal Blooms can help you source vintage-inspired flowers like soft roses or delicate baby’s breath to perfectly complement your lace arch

8. Candlelit Arch of Dreams

For a super intimate and romantic ceremony, why not use candles to create an arch that glows with warmth? Imagine a soft flickering light wrapping around your arch while you walk down the aisle. It’s cosy, it’s dreamy, and it’s just so romantic.


Pro Tip: Mix up the candle styles, tall pillar candles, floating candles, and even tea lights in glass holders. Trust us, it’ll look absolutely magical. Add a romantic touch with florals from Royal Blooms, and your candlelit arch will be the stuff of dreams.


9. Tropical Oasis Arch

Who says you can't have a tropical paradise indoors? Bring in the palm fronds, orchids, and bold tropical flowers to create a fun and colourful arch that’ll transport you to a beachside wedding – without the sand! It’s like having a vacation in your ceremony.


Pro Tip: Pair the tropical theme with pineapple centrepieces, tropical fruit, or fun tiki drinks for your guests. Now that’s a party! Need the perfect tropical florals to match? Royal Blooms has an amazing selection of tropical flowers that’ll make your arch pop with colour.


10. Minimalist Elegance

Not everyone wants a lot of fuss – and that’s okay! If you're into simple, clean designs, a minimalist arch might be just the thing. A simple frame (wood, metal, whatever you like) with just a few flowers or greenery can make a bold statement while keeping things chic and elegant.


Pro Tip: Stick to neutral colours like whites, creams, or soft pastels for a modern, elegant look. Less is more, but in a way that still looks totally gorgeous. For a minimalist design that still wows, Royal Blooms can craft a subtle yet stunning arrangement of florals that perfectly complements your arch.
