Ideas for Church Wedding Decorations

When you are decorating the church for your wedding, it is best to consult with the church to make sure that the ideas that you have are not against their rules.  Find out what items the church already has that you can use in addition to your decorations, like a pedestal for your guest book.

 Floral arrangements are the first consideration when decorating the church for your wedding.  Flowers and floral arrangements can be used to decorate both sides of the alter using all of the colors of your wedding theme. Be careful not to overdo it with the flowers. If you are using an archway for the bride and groom to stand under, you can decorate it by wrapping it with the tulle fabric and attaching the flowers to it.  You can have two big floral arrangements in the entryway if there is room. The guestbook should be set on a pedestal in the entryway to be signed by the guests as they come into the church for the wedding.

Candles and a lighted candelabra can be put near the alter to add a warm glow.  Use hurricane lanterns with candles in the entryway.  A unity candle can be put on a pedestal and it can be lit during the unity ceremony that symbolizes the joining of the bride and groom's lives together. The ends of the pews can be decorated with ribbons, tulle and flowers or a small bouquet. You can attach bells to the ribbons or other wedding symbols can be attached to the ends of the pews.
