Round arches can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and even greenery. They can be left bare for a minimalist look or adorned with flowers, vines, or fairy lights for a more romantic or whimsical feel.

Types of Round Arches

Semicircular Arches: These are the most common type of round arch, featuring a half-circle shape. They can be used to create a simple yet elegant altar backdrop or as part of a more elaborate wedding arch.
