Wedding Arches at the Rough & Ready Vineyards

At the Rough & Ready Vineyards, we offer couples getting married at the venue the opportunity to use any items in our Something Borrowed Barn on their wedding day at no additional cost. It’s a hassle-free option that will save you time and effort, allowing you to focus on creating a memorable and beautiful wedding experience for you and your guests. 

We offer two rustic wooden arches in our Something Borrowed Barn, which you can move to whichever location on our vast grounds you’d like. In addition, our venue has two fixed-location arches, a rounded arch constructed of vines, and a white pergola.

Couples who have their wedding at our venue can choose from a variety of arches to achieve the look and feel they desire:

  • Wooden Arch with Doors 
  • Rustic Wooden Ceremony Arch 
  • Round Vine Arch 
  • White Pergola Arch

Which Wedding Arch Will You Choose?

Located at the beginning of the wedding ceremony path, you can adorn our wooden arch with or without the glass doors. This freestanding, sturdy wedding arch can be encircled with tulle and floral garlands to make a breathtaking backdrop for your special day.

Our rustic wooden ceremony arch, available in the Something Borrowed Barn, is mobile, so you can move it to any spot on our vast grounds you’d like! It’s an excellent option for couples to use as their ceremony backdrop with their personalized decorations.

After the ceremony, couples can move the rustic wooden ceremony arch to the reception space, behind their sweetheart’s table, for great photo opportunities.  Since most couples invest a lot of time and money into their flowers and decorations, repurposing the ceremony decor for the reception is wise. 

Our heavy-duty wooden arches offer a perfect blend of rustic charm and elegance, making them an ideal backdrop for your wedding day. We crafted these arches from durable, high-quality wood. A wedding arch, where the future spouses stand by during the ceremony, is a key part of many couples’ designs for their big day.

Many couples use this circular vine arch for a photo location. Others hold their ceremony at the vine arch, with the Rough & Ready Vineyards Guesthouse as a backdrop. We love how the vine wedding arch seamlessly integrates the beauty of nature into celebrations.

Our white pergola creates an inviting garden gateway and living sculpture. Located in our garden area, the pergola offers you yet another location for photo opportunities. This charming structure provides a seating area, perfectly framing the action for those important wedding photos.

Create a Unique Look with a Wedding Arch

Using a wedding arch at the Rough & Ready Vineyards will add a touch of charm and elevate your event decor to the next level. Our wedding arches are crafted from high-quality wood and make the ideal addition to any countryside, farmhouse, barn style, woodland, or rustic-themed wedding decor.

With its sturdy wood construction, the arches will provide a beautiful backdrop for your wedding. You can easily decorate them with lights, flowers, feathers, garlands, or other decorations to design a unique and personalized look that will leave a lasting impression on your wedding guests. 

The versatile designs of our wedding arches allow you to use them as a ceremony backdrop, photo booth backdrop, entrance decor, or even as your sweetheart’s table backdrop. Unleash your creativity and design a one-of-a-kind wedding arch that reflects your style. The possibilities are endless!
