Wedding Arch Plans | DIY Peaked Wooden Arbor Ceremony Backdrop House PDF | 3D Model

📥 Digital download. Two PDF files (imperial + metric) plus a SketchUp 3D model you can spin and inspect in the free SketchUp mobile app. No physical item ships. Download via desktop or mobile browser, not the Etsy app.

Your ceremony deserves a backdrop you built with your own hands. A freestanding peaked wedding arch, just under 2 metres wide and 2,5 metres tall, with three nested peaked frames stacking front to back, light wood outer, walnut stained middle, light wood inner. The dark band between two light frames reads architectural from every angle. Bare, it looks editorial. Wrapped in florals or trailing greenery, it stops the room.

Build it once, in a weekend, with tools you already own. Reuse it for the next wedding, the anniversary shoot, the engagement photos five years later. Pass it down. Rent it out. It breaks down for transport between ceremonies.
