Arches

An arch is the piece people walk through and photograph, so it has to work from a distance and up close. Ceremony frames are usually symmetrical and built to the width of the aisle or the doorway. Entrance arches for openings and retail are often deliberately asymmetric — heavier on one side, running up and over a door — because that reads better from the street and from the road. Organic arches mix balloon sizes and tones for depth; classic arches keep a single repeated pattern. Outdoor arches need anchoring and a wind plan, which is worth raising early. Sizes here run from a single doorway to full entrance spans. Everything is installed on site across Chatham and the surrounding Morris, Union and Essex County towns, and taken down afterwards.
