THE LOW-DOWN
If you’re on the hunt for wedding arch ideas that blend style, personality, and a touch of whimsy, James and Juan’s stunning Shades of Green celebration last October is the perfect inspiration. This Chicago couple brought 55 of their closest loved ones to Orlando for a heartfelt and beautifully designed wedding day that was equal parts elegant and fun.
Their wedding day look was classic and timeless. Both grooms wore sleek black tuxedos with matching bowties, along with one of our favorite unique details of the day, a pampas grass boutonniere accented with a small pop of Tiffany blue. This soft hint of color tied in beautifully with their neutral and Tiffany blue palette, giving their attire a subtle yet stylish twist.
One of the standout elements of their décor was their thoughtful use of multiple arches, making this wedding a dream come true for anyone seeking wedding arch ideas. Their ceremony featured a gorgeous pampas-grass-filled arch that created a warm and airy focal point for their vows. At the reception, the couple continued the theme with a rectangular arch over their sweetheart table, designed with matching pampas accents to create a cohesive look from ceremony to celebration.
The couple’s sweet pups even had their moment in the spotlight, joining them at the ceremony and adding an extra layer of heartwarming charm to the day. Nothing completes a love-filled ceremony quite like a few wagging tails!

WHAT WE LOVED
The Just Marry! team so enjoyed working with James and Juan on their big day! We asked their wedding planner, Emylie, a few questions about the big day, and here is what she had to say:
What was something about this event that really stood out to you?
Their families truly went above and beyond to help bring the celebration to life. They supplied several gorgeous arches that transformed the room, and another family member added so much fun with a photo booth, a 360 photo booth, cold sparks, and even dancing on a cloud. It all came together to create the most magical and joy-filled atmosphere for the couple’s big day!
What modern or trendy wedding elements did the couple include?
The couple incorporated several trendy touches throughout their day, including multiple stylish arches used as backdrops for the ceremony, behind their cake table, and even as a photo moment at the reception. It created a cohesive, modern look that tied the entire celebration together beautifully!
Where did the couple stay for their wedding?
Shades of Green Resort.
