Step by step process of how to make a DIY grape vine
wedding arch. In this how to, we made everything from
scratch. We made the steel arch and pulled the grape
vines from the forest. For more information on this
project and other projects we are doing, please visit

How to Make a Grape Vine
Wedding Arch Final Steps
The arch is finished!!! Sorry it took me a month to update this
blog but it literally took me the entire month to finish the arch.
It ended up being a lot of work for one person and I only had
the weekends to finish it. Justin's back is pretty bad and he can
not bend forward so this project became mine from a certain
point on due to the sitting and bending involved. If you are
attempting this at home, I would definitely recommend using
sawhorses to raise your arch up to hip height. My back started
to get sore while working on it.
Weekend after weekend I continued to wrap the vines around
the arch. I will post pictures in the order they were taken to
finished so you can see how we progressed. I apologize ahead
of time for all of the pictures. However, I wanted to show
you the progress of the arch the best way I could. I basically
continued to attach vines to vines and vines to metal until the
thickness was where I wanted it to be and even. Once I got to a
certain point I started to cut the vines long enough to cover the
sides separately and the top separately. It made more use of the
vines so that I would not run out and it helped the vines stay
more consistent with thickness throughout the entire arch.

In the end I think it turned out better than expected. It is very
large at around 9 ft tall at the middle point. At least 6 in are
going into the ground make sure it is stable. That is why you
can see the sections at the bottom where there are not vines.
The width at the top where the cascades are is around 7 ft.
You can obviously make your arch the size you want it. We are
going to have crystals hanging from it so we wanted it taller.
I highly recommend if you are planning to make one of these
for your wedding you start way ahead of time if you only have
weekends to work on it, you will save yourself a lot of stress
before the wedding!
If you have any questions feel free to ask here or email me at

I will continue to make more posts about our various other
projects we will have.
Thanks for reading!
