Using this wedding arch cover is a breeze. First, take out the two pieces - the top and the bottom. Start by placing the top piece over the upper part of the 7.5ft crescent moon wedding arch and pull it down gently until it fits snugly. Then, do the same with the bottom piece. Remember, this order only includes the cover, so you'll need to provide your own stands. For maintenance, you can hand - wash it in cold water with a mild detergent. After washing, let it air dry. This cover is made to last, so with proper care, you can reuse it for many events to come.
