What Are Custom Wedding Arch Colonnades?
Think beyond standard decor. Custom wedding arch colonnades are professionally engineered architectural centerpieces. They are meticulously designed to deliver the monumental grandeur of real stone or plaster, but critically, without the crushing weight, fragility, and logistical failures of traditional materials. This is not just another backdrop; it is a reusable, high-value asset built for your inventory.
We start with a lightweight, high-density foam core, precision-carved to your exact design specifications. This core is then encapsulated in our signature polyurea hard coat—a rock-hard, weatherproof shell that makes the structure incredibly durable and ready for the demands of the rental circuit. The result is a show-stopping architectural piece that is easy to transport, fast to install, and built to generate returns for years.

Command Higher Rental Fees & Attract Premium Clients
Offer an exclusive, high-impact centerpiece that instantly communicates luxury. Unlike common, flimsy alternatives, our substantial colonnades have a tangible quality that justifies premium pricing. You are no longer just renting a prop; you are providing a piece of stunning architecture.
This allows you to attract a higher caliber of client, set your brand apart as a luxury provider, and create the unforgettable "wow" factor that generates buzz and high-value referrals. This is the visual anchor that makes your entire event package feel more valuable.

Drastically Slash Labor & Setup Costs
Time is money, especially on event day. A traditional stone or plaster arch requires a large crew, heavy lifting, and hours of stressful assembly. Our lightweight foam colonnades can be transported, positioned, and assembled by a two-person team in a fraction of the time, without needing heavy machinery.
This massive reduction in labor not only cuts direct costs but also frees up your skilled crew to focus on other critical details like lighting and florals. Less setup time means more efficiency, lower risk of injury, and smoother event execution.

Build an Unbeatable Reputation for Flawless Execution
Luxury clients pay for perfection and peace of mind. Arriving with a chipped plaster arch or warped wooden frame instantly undermines your brand's credibility. Our colonnades are engineered for consistency and perfection, event after event.
The seamless, monolithic finish looks pristine in person and flawless in high-resolution photos and videos. By eliminating the risk of on-site damage and material failure, you build a reputation for reliability and excellence—the single most valuable asset for any high-end event business.

FAQ
What are your wedding arch colonnades made from?
They are made from a solid core of high-density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam. This core is then encapsulated in a thick, seamless shell of high-impact polyurea (a robust plastic coating) and finished to look like stone or smooth plaster.
Are they durable enough for a busy rental inventory?
Absolutely. They are engineered for it. The polyurea shell is incredibly tough, impact-resistant, and 100% waterproof. Unlike plaster or wood, it will not crack, chip, or rot. It’s built to withstand the cycle of transport, setup, and storage.
How do lightweight arches and columns save money?
The savings are multi-faceted: significantly reduced labor costs for setup/teardown, lower shipping costs, elimination of heavy machinery rental, and dramatically lower repair and replacement costs over the asset’s long lifespan.
Can you create a finish that looks exactly like aged limestone or marble?
Yes. Our finishing artists are masters of replicating architectural textures. We can create a finish that is visually indistinguishable from limestone, travertine, precast concrete, or a flawless matte white.
How are the wedding arch columns installed on-site?
Because they are lightweight shells, they are designed for rapid, tool-free or minimal-tool assembly. Columns are easily positioned, and the arch pieces connect with simple, concealed fasteners, allowing a small team to assemble a grand structure in minutes.
How do they compare to wooden or fiberglass arches?
They are vastly superior. Wood can warp, rot, and is heavy. Fiberglass can be brittle and prone to cracking at the seams. Our EPS colonnades are fabricated as large, seamless pieces with a monolithic, waterproof hard coat, making them far more durable and weather-resistant.
What is the largest colonnade you can fabricate?
There are virtually no size limitations. We can engineer and fabricate massive colonnades, arches, and other elements in sections that are designed to be seamlessly and securely joined on the job site.
What file types do you need from a designer?
We can work with anything from a simple sketch or inspiration photo to standard architectural drawings and CAD files, such as .DWG, .DXF, and other 3D model formats.
How do they perform in windy outdoor conditions?
They are engineered for stability. The columns are hollow and can be easily weighted down with sandbags or secured to discreet bases. For larger structures or consistently windy locations, we can integrate internal metal framing that allows for staking or bolting to the ground.
Can you replicate a specific historical column style, like Corinthian or Doric?
Yes. Our 5-axis CNC routing technology allows us to fabricate any architectural style with complete precision. We can accurately replicate the intricate details of Corinthian capitals, the clean lines of Doric columns, or any custom design you require.
