ABSTRACT:
A free standing portable arch for use in weddings, different types of ceremonies and other occasions. The arch is adapted for a bride and groom to stand under while taking wedding vows, posing for wedding pictures and for walking through during the ceremony. An upper portion of the arch includes a first half and a second half. The second half is a mirror image of the first half. The first and second half, when joined together, form a geometric shape such as a heart shape, a star shape, a diamond shape and the like. A lower portion of the arch is formed into an inverted "T" shaped stand. A bottom horizontal member of the stand is used to support the arch on a ground surface or a floor surface. The arch may be constructed of a variety of materials with a preference being lightweight plastic cylindrical tubing. The upper portion and the lower portion of the arch can be decorated with ribbon, floral material and strings of lights for adding color, illumination and attraction to the arch. Also, the arch can be coupled with an additional arch to form a twin arch for walking or standing under. Further, a plurality of arches may be attached to each other to form a tunnel of arches for receiving people therethrough before, during and after the ceremony.
