How much does a fully covered 4 post arch really cost?

So you’re interested in planning a dreamy ceremony? The pictures captured on this special day will last a lifetime, so if you’re willing to invest in a large piece like this, don’t overlook the importance of the photography session. It's essential to remember to set aside a little extra time for those beautiful photos after you say “I do” to make the money spend all worth it in the end. Not all flowers have the same price point, so an arch like this can vary greatly in cost depending on your choices—whether you go full cloud with delicate baby’s breath (Gypsophilia) or opt to mix in premium blooms like stunning Protea and elegant Roses. Regardless of your floral choices, there is a considerable amount of labor and time that goes into creating a piece of this size, so you shouldn't expect to avoid that associated cost. Let’s take a deeper look into this specific arch to give you a clearer picture of what’s involved. The recipe for this striking arch includes 200 stems of baby’s breath, 200 stems of eucalyptus, 200 stems of alstroemerias, 200 beautiful roses, 200 vibrant protea, 200 cheerful carnations, a box of smilax vine, 100 bright marigolds, 100 stems of statice, and 100 exquisite orchids, all in addition to the cost of the arch structure and the supplies needed to attach the flowers securely. But don't worry, it’s all worth it—especially if you place it in a gorgeous location like this one, where everyone will surely want to take pictures with it. This arch, in total, was priced at $25,000 for the client, inclusive of labor, delivery, and breakdown services. What do you think?
