Church Wedding Decorations
and Ideas

Before decorating the church for a wedding, the first thing to do regarding church wedding decorations is to ask your priest or vicar if there are any restrictions with the church wedding decor.

Some churches have their own policies and customs regarding the place of worship, so it's important to ask before going to the effort and expense of purchasing flowers, church pew decorations and other creative ideas you may have only to find they are not permitted.

I found most churches will allow a medium size floral centerpiece near the alter or a centerpiece on either side. Pew decorations and candles are common. Some allow you to decorate the outside entry of the church.
