Beautiful Ideas for Church Wedding Decorations

How can I decorate the church for my wedding?

Especially if you're unable to add décor inside the church, consider decorating the outside with garlands of flowers, add wreaths to doors, or display large urns filled with blooms at the entrance. Once inside the sanctuary, greet guests with a floral arch or place lush arrangements on either side of the aisle. Wedding decorations in church settings are often allowed on the big day, within reason, so make sure you ask before assuming you can't have what you want for your wedding – decorated opulently, for example. While wedding planning, cover your bases regarding church wedding decorations. You may even find that having simpler church decor will allow you to spend on other parts of the wedding, such as more decorations at the reception or even a better menu!

How do I decorate my wedding aisle?

Aisle decorations are a wonderful way to add a pop of color and freshness to a simple church, or you can place a small bundle of flowers on the side of each church pew. A fabric aisle runner is one of the easiest ways to customize church decorations for weddings – you can even create a custom aisle runner featuring a personalized monogram or design, or simply add some flower petals down the walkway in addition to floral arrangements at the entrance to the aisle and the altar itself. Adorn church pews with floral bouquets tied with ribbon or line the aisle with flickering candlelight, and embellish the altar with striking florals or even tree-like arrangements to create gorgeous wedding church decor.
