Church Wedding Ceremony Decorations
Easy Ways to Save on Church Wedding Ceremony Decorations
Traditional church weddings are still a popular way to wed and
there are several ways that you can find or create lovely church
wedding ceremony decorations. However, churches often pose a
challenge when looking for wedding decorations.
Many churches may not allow you to use certain decorations or move
their own plants and candle holders. Other churches may pose other
challenges, like how to make your wedding elegant when the carpet
is years and years old and not an ideal color.
You could spend lots of money trying to make the church wedding
ceremony decorations lovely, but it certainly isn’t necessary.
Following are some easy ways to save and still make a statement
with your decor.
The Altar
Most of the attention at your wedding will be centered at the
altar. All eyes will be on this area, but you don’t want to over
decorate because you, your soon-to-be husband and your wedding
party should be the focus of the ceremony. Keep the decorations
simple and balanced.
If you want the ceremony to be romantic and have a soft glow use a
candelabra on either side of the altar area. You can even twist
some flowers around the base if you would like to tie them in with
your bouquet or your bridesmaids’ bouquets. Make sure you use drip
less candles; most churches will require that you use them
anywhere you plan to have candles.
Another simple way to add interest is to use two tall flower
arrangements or two large plants or small trees with color
coordinated ribbon. Using subtle church wedding ceremony
decorations on your altar will allow people to focus on you and
you soon-to-be spouse, and it has the added benefit of keeping
costs down.
Aisles
Is the carpet or flooring ugly or just plain the wrong color for
your plans? Instead of trying to cover it all up, cover the main
places where you plan to walk, stand for the ceremony and take
pictures. Use a simple white, ivory or other neutral toned and
solid color runner down the main aisle. For dramatic effect, have
someone roll it out right before your flower girl goes down the
aisle.
A simple drop cloth in the same color can be used for the altar
area. For safety sake, you may want to put a no slip rug pad under
this particular church wedding ceremony decoration. No one wants
to see a wounded clergyman, bride or groom. The runners and drop
cloth can be purchased or rented. They will look elegant, and you
probably won’t have to spend much; some churches will even provide
them free or for a small cost.
Pews
You don’t have to spend big bucks to make an impression on the
pews. For a few dollars each you can have ready-made ribbon or
tulle bows in your colors or wedding white. If you have the time
and a good instruction book or talented friend, do it yourself and
save even more.
Cut costs in half by just doing every other pew; it will look just
as lovely and possibly even more elegant. If you have your heart
set on flowers everywhere for your church wedding ceremony
decorations, consider using simple silk flowers accented by ribbon
bows on every other pew. The ribbons will provide a big impact for
fewer dollars and cutting down on the number of pews naturally
cuts the costs.
Ultimately, simple and understated will actually serve you well
for your church wedding ceremony decorations. The decor should
accent your theme, colors and you rather than overwhelm the space.
It is your day and less really is more.
