Hello, with the attached flowers, do you have to put something at the bottom of the arch to weigh it down at all?

[@carolneal6322]

Beautifully done! We are using a circle arch that is about 8 ft. tall with one swag on the top left and another on the lower right that is pretty full and meandering up the rods. How many "kits" of 60 pieces would you recommend? Also, approximately how long (in feet) are your completed flower swags? It's hard to tell in the video.

[@CalliaFlowers]

Hey Carol! From the sounds of your arch, we'd recommend at least 2 arch kits for your desired style, or 3 if you want a really full look! Size of the finished arrangements depends on how you arrange things, but by using longer stems on the outer edges, I'd say approximately 4 ft long. Hope this helps :)

Hi can you let me know what is the size of floral foam caged?

[@caitlynblair7648]

Hi there! I am DIYing a similar style for my archway. Would this technique also work for artificial flowers? Obviously, I wouldn't need to wet the foam or would it make it easier to poke the flowers through?

[@CalliaFlowers]

Hey Caitlyn! Absolutely, this technique works for artificial flowers too! Correct, no need to wet the foam and you can build your arch days in advance if you know the exact shape you're wanting since you don't need to worry about the lifespan of your florals. 💐

If one makes the arch a day before with the soaked foam is there a specific way it has to be stored or should they stay fresh until the next evening? Also should note I’m in Texas and my wedding is in May

[@CalliaFlowers]

Storing the arch in a cool basement or room away from direct sunlight would be perfect! Assuming you're using fresh florals, you'll be good to go! 🙌

Hello! How much time in advance can you make this at?

[@CalliaFlowers]

We recommend 1-2 days before your wedding! With our DIY arch kits, all the supplies and florals are typically delivered to you 2 days before, so it gives you time to create everything while keeping the flowers fresh. 🥰
