If you’re allergic to flowers (or just plain don’t like them) consider this balloon kit.
Everyone loves balloons, and look how incredible they look made into an arch.
Of course, I went for the rainbow look – but there are tons on the market that will match your aesthetic. Whether that’s gold, white, or pink.
For an arch suitable to stand under, the 8-meter option would be your best option. However, the smaller arches could be used elsewhere, to really tie everything together.
Prices range from $23 for a smaller kit to around $68 for larger options.
