Doors With Grand Entrances

Grandentry | Doors are one of the most important parts of any building. They allow people to enter and exit the building, and they protect us from bad weather. But there are many doors that have flawed designs. These doors give the wrong usability signals and can lead to confusion.

At pow-wows, there is a Grand Entry. During this time, everyone rises and is quiet. Those wearing regalia should stand during the Grand Entry. Afterward, there is a Flag Song and veterans are honored.

Floral Archways

Floral archways have always been a go-to option for an extravagant entrance. They aren’t only visually stunning, but also stimulate multiple senses. Whether it’s the sweet fragrance of tuberose, the soft texture of mogra garlands, or the alluring play of fairy lights and bulbs, florals are truly timeless and will never fail to impress.

For a more sustainable option, consider using branches as your base for your floral archway and layer in blooms on top of that. It’s a great way to make the structure look full without adding in specialty stems which can be a lot more costly. Additionally, sourcing in-season flowers locally to your venue will help keep costs down and allow you to have an abundance of blooms at your disposal.

For an added touch of whimsy, picture your wedding floral archway looking like a giant gift box for your guests to enter through. This fun twist encapsulates the excitement and beauty of marriage and represents the joy of all the blessings to come.

Slide Entrance

For grand entrances that will impress both visitors to your home and passersby, exterior doors with slide entrances are a stylish choice. These doors open from the top with a sliding track and are an especially good fit for homes with large foyers, front courtyards, or entryways with multiple windows and/or balconies.

A slide entrance can be made of wood, fiberglass, or insulated steel. It can also feature sidelights, transoms, and other custom glazing options to create a unique style. The door can be finished with decorative grids, leaded or stained glass, and etched or painted glass.

Whether your style is rustic or contemporary, you can find a Pella entry door to meet your needs. These doors are available in beautifully grained woods like oak, mahogany, and cherry or durable fiberglass that offers long-lasting beauty and low-maintenance performance. They can be complemented with sidelights, transoms, and glazed doors to make a grand entrance.
