Wedding Ideas For Your Altar Decor

When you're planning the decorations for your wedding, don't forget the church! The altar decor that you choose can subtly reinforce the theme of your day and be a silent statement of your reverence. It's far harder to find information on wedding altar decor and ideas for church decorations than it is to find suggestions for wedding reception decorations.

One easy way to find altar decor and ideas is to ask your wedding planner, or shop around town at several different florists. Most florists include church flowers in even their most basic wedding package, but if you're looking for something more special, take a look at some of the altar decor ideas below.

Holiday weddings make it easy on you! At Easter or Christmas, mass potted seasonal plants at the edge of the altar. White and red poinsettias bunched on either side of the aisle opening will frame pictures beautifully, as will several pots of full-blown lilies. Add tulle bows to each pot for an airy, fairy-bride look.

If your church has an altar rail, twine it with a garland of flowers to match the wedding theme. You can wrap the rail with ivy and white roses or a garland of spectacular wildflowers. Having an island wedding? Leis of Plumeria in your wedding colors can create a beautiful garland for the altar rail.


If your church allows it, frame the end of the aisle in a tulle and flower bedecked arch to add to the formal, festive air of the day. Don't overlook balloons either. While they may sound whimsical and informal, a beribboned balloon arch that floats above the aisle can be an elegant, untraditional touch.

Think beyond the floor and altar surfaces for decor ideas. Deck the front of the podium with a fluffy, oversize tulle bow holding a spray of lilies or Shasta daisies to create a focal point to one side. Hang wreaths of wildflowers twined in grapevine on the sanctuary and church doors to greet guests as they arrive.

Place flower stands on either side of the altar to hold formal arrangements. Mark the bride's aisle with a row of tulle bows and delicate flowers hung from the end of each pew.

If you're looking for still more wedding altar decor and ideas that you can use for your church wedding, don't overlook one obvious source - ask your parish priest or deacon. They've seen hundreds of weddings at the very church you're decorating. Take advantage of their experience and knowledge to glean a few ideas that can make your day just a little more perfect.
