How To Make An Elegant Arch Design

How to make an elegant floral arch design
Ingredients - 20 white large roses, 20 white spray roses, 10 stems wax flower, gypsophilia, eucalyptus, French or Italian ruskus, hedera / ivy
In todays video we show you how easy it is to create a stunning arch of flowers that would be perfect for a special occasion.
In the video we talk about how best to approach this style of design, and give tips based on experience to help you with yours!
We have used floral foam as the base as it allows the flowers to sit in any direction - but you could make a floral arch foam free. Look out for our future ‘foam free’ arch design video coming soon!
Both are possible, with a difference in style as well!
We hope you enjoy our design and let us know in the comments below what you think.

Wow that is beautiful.I love babies breath.Thanks John.

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊

[@loretta8764]

Really elegant and romantic. Flowers are very expensive where I live. I'm thrilled that you've demonstrated that you don't need a lot of flowers to create something amazing. As always...excellent job, John. Thanks so much.🌻

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! 😀 yes, it’s the foliage that makes the frame to showcase the flowers - so you can use less than you think - or more if you prefer!

[@georgegarcia7334]

WOW John!!! I really liked this one. I have never had to do an arch; but, now I'd like to try!!! Also, if I may say, KICKING LEGS, JOHN!!! Very nice!!!

[@FlowerJoos]

😊 it’s all that up and down making arches 😂 thank you 🌼🙋🏼‍♂️

[@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo]

Oh wow! beautiful. This vid in particular is VERY VERY helpful to me. I have been strugling for years on getting the flowers on the iconostasis right. Only now i realized i need to have an arch made that will just fit the Royal Doors. so i can attach the oasis to that. This way i can also do the flower arranging outside and have it carried in to place in front of the Royal Doors. Saves a lot of messyness and cleaning up. Thanks for uploading. God bless (ps i love the big longcase clock in the other room. Im a huge clock junkie. one can never have enough clocks.)

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! It would take to people to move I think - but that’s great you are inspired! The grandfather clock is beautiful - has been in the family for a long time, and now on the landing! It used to work but the weights dropped and never been reset up . Not sure if I want it going though - though after a while you don’t hear it! 😀

[@dejavu2531]

Fantastic tips & ideas.. Going to be in charge of decor for my mother's up coming wedding..& this was perfect!

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 🌼 enjoy creating the designs for her special day 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@summerwynne6425]

Beautiful! Thank you for showing the mechanics. It’s always the biggest challenge. So interesting that you have used 20 large roses with some smaller spray roses and gypsophila. It just shows you can make a really big impact with relatively few flowers. Gorgeous! X

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! Yes, you would think it was 60 roses and more other flowers needed to make something like this - and yo7 can of course, but it’s nice as is - more natural and balanced I think 🤔 🌼🌼🌼

[@stepps511]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this, John! I very much appreciate your experience and the tips you have to offer about constructing a design like this and the mechanics involved. Your choice of flowers and greenery is spot on - not too much, nor too little. And while I am no fan of gyp, I can't agree more that in some instances, a little is just perfect. I love watching you work, too. You inspire. Thank you, and all good wishes.

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you so much! 🌼 we were meaning to create an arch for so long, so finally we have done it. There will also be a different foam free version coming soon as well, with a wilder boho look. Thank you so much for the great feedback - really glad you enjoyed the video 🌼🙋🏼‍♂️😀

Beautiful arch! A lovely natural mix of foliage and flowers. So much more lovely than some of the arches just now which are so ostentatiously packed with flowers.

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! 😀 yes, some are very full, but this style is quite natural.

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

That’s so true! And because so many brides see those images online, they approach planning their wedding wanting that look but being totally unprepared for the expense!

[@gardenjoy5223]

Very lovely! And such good and nice explanations. And yes, the small flowers in the other color did make the whole arch come alive more to the eyes. Guess they love contrasts. Personally I think I would have liked the whites to differ a bit more too. To also give it more depth. So when pink is the added color I'd choose a white rose with a pink hint to it as well as the pure white ones. Thank you for showing the process.

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! You are right - the design can be taken in different directions depending on what the flower choice used is. Some beautiful garden style / David Austen roses would of been nice in it 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

absolutely gorgeous JOHN .I made an arch for my daughter"s wedding 36yrs ago, and it was lovely watching you make this one

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! I’m intrigued - did you use foam or what base to create it? I think foam was very new then ( I was around then ) 😀

I absolutely agree with stepps511 your work is amazing for lack of a better expression, just simply amazing. The pride you show radiates through your patience in explaining and assembling the actual arraignment during your demonstration. The fact that you make an unskilled untalented person like me feel they can accomplish such a magnificent feat is simply “AMAZING” (there is that word again☺️). I can barely wait for the next arch demo as a matter of fact I’m just enjoying them all. I was hooked after that elegant corsage “fit for a queen 👸”. BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

Beautiful work John! Lovely choice of products, too. When designing something like this for an event, would you ever predesign any of the cages, then transport them to the venue for installation? Or do you always design on-site? Thanks for sharing your talents!

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! I think if you have a van that can take the arch you could set the cages on, and pre green - but then it’s open to damage in transit. It’s a lot lighter just as a frame and then set up! But you could pre-green the cages then tie them on . Then it’s just linking with ivy and add the flowers. So I suppose it depends on the size of your van as much as anything! 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

[@kasandramckenna3250]

About how many bunches of greenery do you thinking took to make this magnificent arch? Lovely I hope my wedding flowers are as beautiful as these!

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊 It depends what you are planning to use - if you can add garden foliage then you might just buy some basic green and some highlight foliage - so maybe 4 bunch large salal, 15 -25 stem long asparagus fern, 4 / 6 bunch eucalyptus and 6 - 8 bunch long Italian ruskus . You can change the look by adding more if one and less of others - so it could be more eucalyptus / silver grey, or more fern and fluffy, or more greens - you are in control! 😀

[@kasandramckenna3250]

@@FlowerJoos Yes I am already having Ivy, ruscus, asparagus fern, seeded eucalyptus, and baby eucalyptus I will get some salal if I decide to do the arch thanks for the info!
