Weddings Decoration

When it comes to your church wedding decorations no decision is more important that the flowers you choose.  Flowers can be used to help set the tone for your special day. 

It’s important to take into consideration and not disturb the sanctity and purity of the atmosphere of a church setting.  You may want to use lace, pearls, crystals, beads, and candles along with your flowers.  You will need to consider designs for the church pew, aisle, centerpiece, altar, entry, ceiling as well as door decorations.

What flower will you use to base your theme around?  That is your first critical decision and it must be made based on requirements such as your favorite flowers, their colors and aroma, as well as your budget.

For example, Lilly of the Valley is a beautiful and delicate flower that creates a romantic feeling, but since you will need a huge amount, especially if the church has high ceilings, this flower choice can prove to be expensive.

One way that a bride can avoid falling into the “money pit” is to find flowers that are in season.  For instance, if you choose hydrangeas that come in a large variety of colors during the summer, a lot less of your total budget will likely be spent on just flowers. 

Another thing to consider when choosing flowers for your wedding decorations is what the church looks like.  If the church is very ornate, you may not want to have huge arrangements of white lilies everywhere.  You want your flowers to add a sense of peace, solemnity, calm and freshness but not chaos.  You could use daisies, tulips and/or carnations.  Try orchids and lilies just on the pews or tie bows on them.

It is a good idea to decorate the altar or the aisle with matching flower colors to the bride’s bouquet.  If you choose to use silk flowers, arrangements can be prepared ahead of time without worrying about them wilting.  Combine silk with ribbons and balloons – which are great for high ceilings. 

Potted plants are inexpensive and add a great deal of volume and warmth as well as contrasting greenery.  Spread rose petals down the aisle.  For your entryway or foyer, use pomander balls and mix ornaments of various styles as a decoration. 

Remember that you must also consider the fragrance of your flowers.  For example, stargazer lilies are beautiful and have various shades that can be used to enhance your wedding, but they are also very fragrant and might actually overwhelm some of your guests if used in large amounts or trigger common allergies.  Instead, you may want to use a small amount of live fragrant flowers and focus on finding beautiful silk versions of your favorite flower.

Once the main flower theme has been chosen, you can then focus on how to create a floral escape in the church and at the reception site.  More than likely you can find candles that are in the same color as well as wedding favors that have certain flower themes built into them.

It’s important to make your floral theme unique so you and your guests will remember your wedding fondly in the years to come.  Decorating for a wedding should be full of good memories.  So go have some fun picking out the perfect floral theme for your wedding.

Weddings Decor

Gorgeous and stylish wedding decorations are often the centerpiece of the wedding ceremony and reception, and can change the mood in any setting. Themed wedding decorations set the stage for your wedding theme, and can be used in many areas of your ceremony and reception locations. Common places to decorate for your wedding in an indoor and outdoor environment are:

At the Ceremony:

The Entrance or doorway (includes arches for outdoor gazebos and garden weddings)
Pews, chairs and Altars
Inside walls, or the first adjoining rooms from the entrance.
The area around the Guest Registry
Pathways and important wedding party vehicles

The Reception:

Outer door entrance
First entrance room
Tables - head table, food tables (buffet)
Walls
Wedding Cake (cake topper)
Ceilings

Since wedding ceremonies and receptions can pretty much happen anywhere that the couple choose, wedding decorations can apply based upon the theme you may choose. Decorating for your traditional wedding may mean beautiful pure white candles, fresh flower arrangements, embroidered cloth napkins. Planning to decorate for a fall wedding? This might mean pumpkins, preserves, ‘hanging harvests', grape vines strewn with gold and red colored leaves. Mood and setting will really influence where and how you decorate. See the room in the ‘whole picture' and think of the theme or feelings conveyed - do these match the same traits in the bride and groom?

Always remember your timeline. Since the wedding party is usually the biggest part of the decorating (unless you are using a wedding planner /coordinator) they must have a set plan for placing wedding decorations and taking them down. Often (especially in the case of a formal wedding such as a church) the wedding decorations must go up shortly before the wedding and are taken down immediately after. Think about the following details which will help you complete your decoration:

Colors and wedding theme, time of day of the wedding ceremony, location of the event, temperament of the bride and groom, feasibility and cost of design of decorating (budget), space to decorate and the total number of people attending.
