DIY WOODEN ARCH – PERFECT FOR WEDDINGS!
If you’re wondering if my wedding will be all diy, YES it will be! We built a wooden and floral arch / arbor and it was surprisingly very easy and affordable to do! To see how we made the garland of greens, check out last weeks diy table runner here:

hello, can i use 1"×2" wood for this?
We made your arch for my sister's wedding and it was super easy and came out amazing! The total cost was only $54 (not including the decor). Your instructions and measurements were precise and easy to follow. Thank you so much!
I am getting married again with my husband of 33 years, thank you so much for the tip . I am definitely doing this
Just built one. Thanks so much. Getting married myself in July. Going to stain it too
For everyone asking, I bought materials today. I already had a saw(manual not circular arms are killing me). But the mitre box, screws(50 pack) and lumber all together cost me 60$ at Home Depot.
The angle screwing is annoying if you haven’t done it before. You need to go straight down a tiny bit before you angle it like she did in the video. Also, I screwed in the feet to the legs last
hi! found your video while looking into arbor ideas for my wedding. if you had to guess, how much did DIYing the wedding arbor cost?
As a European, we made this arch today and thought it would be nice to share our dimensions. We used wood of 5×9 cm. 3 pieces of 210 cm, 6 pieces of 66 cm (longest side) and 2 pieces of 132 cm (yours are shorter but otherwise we would have leftover of the wood that we found at the hardware store). We used a mix of shrews of 7 and 11 cm long. We choose the width of the arch on the inside to be 174 cm and left the top piece stick out 18 cm on each side. For anyone wondering: very sturdy.
Just a tip – When you’re using a circular saw use a flat surface, they can easily slip.
How would you do it so that you can fold it up
Very cool simple design great job!
Hello. Just a tip. When using a circular saw. You want to allow the peice that is being cut off to fall unrestricted. This will reduce the dangerous kickback you feel on the saw towards the end of the cut (2:41). This kickback does indeed lead to many injuries. However. Great video and great finished product. 😊 bub
How much did this arch turn out to be for you guys?
Hey, love this! But pls help, can you write the measurements in centimeters/meters – I tried to "translate" measurements but it wasn't a success. Pls help 😊
Wow I love it,am seeing it in 2023 💃🤗
Simple yet elegant arch. Love it. Can anyone tell me the name of the song in this video? Thanks
Perdona me estoy liando cuanto mide las piezas de ancho y de gruesas. gracias,y un fuerte abrazo .Me ha encantado vuestro trabajo.GRACIAS
How much was the total?
My uncle made my arch with this tutorial, thank you so much! Truly a blessing in my life.
Thanks for sharing your design. We're doing a renewal of vows for our Son that had a courthouse wedding and my wife wanted an arch for the event. While I might make a few minor "tweaks" to the design, you gave me a great foundation to start from.
Can I be able to assemble this in one location, disassemble and then assemble in another location in about a week?
thanks for the helpful video
Обожаю англоязычный ютюб!
Lol I remember watching this four years ago and I’m watching it again because our wedding is coming up this fall
Is there an easy way to make this mobile/transportable?
Great job ladies🌹🌹
Can someone convert the measurements of the timer to metric?
That’s a heavy ass arch. Well atleast it won’t get blown away by moderate winds. Nice job though.
Thank You you girls are very informative!
Thanks for sharing this awesome and easy tutorial. It sure will help me to make the arch that I need.
Thank you for this video! I’m going to make this next week to have for styled photoshoots! 🥰 I’m very excited!
Nice work. Girls
You did a great job On making an arch I’m proud of you both
Last year I made this exact arch with my dad, per your directions. It was our last project together. He passed away a couple months later before he could walk me down the aisle. Next month my fiance and I will say our vows under this arch. It will be beautiful and bittersweet. I just want to thank The Sorry Girls for helping me create a memory I'll never forget with my dad.
Bolts for the top would make it much more transportable.
Ok so i may have to rent a truck to transport it?
How long was the fabric you used?
Am I crazy or did they forget the most important step and not screw in the feet to the frame? Yikes fam
🙌😍❤️😍😍😍👰🤵👏👏
How tall is this arch?
Amazing stuff. I just made one by following your instructions!
Any thoughts on how I can make it easier to transport it to the wedding venue? Either by making it easy to assemble or by maybe making it foldable?
What are the dimensions of the arbor? Thank you
Was able to make this for my friend out of scraps! Thnk u for this video!
How much was the wood supplies?
