To use this 7.5ft gold Payette sequin wedding arch cover, first, make sure your 7.5ft round metal wedding arch is set up. Then, use the zippers at each end to easily put the cover on the arch. You can choose to let the open - bottom part of the cover brush against the ground for a flowing look or tuck it in as you like. Remember, the order only includes the cover, so you'll need to have your own stand. When placing the cover on the stand, be aware that the fabric might snag on the stand's screws. You can add tape or a screw cover to make it easier to install. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid snags. If it gets dirty, gently spot - clean it with a mild detergent and let it air dry. This cover is great for weddings, parties, baby showers, and many other events to add a touch of sparkle and elegance.
