Church Wedding Decoration Ideas

Wedding decorations are one of the easiest categories to cut back on for budget considerations. However, every bride wants to have the beautiful wedding of her dreams. How can you tie these two seemingly opposite ideas together to create a beautiful wedding on a smaller budget? Inexpensive, yet classic decorations are the answer. You don’t need to spend a fortune to decorate for your ceremony or reception. There are some fantastic decoration ideas that you can apply to your special day.

Decorating the alter or stage for the wedding is often a difficult task for brides. Instead of the traditional decorations, what if you used a small light shining at a mini mirrored disco ball to create a night sky effect? Creative ideas can transform the usual into a magical, romantic environment for your wedding.

Flowers are the most preferred choice for church decoration. Decorating the church with beautiful flowers can add a sense of freshness to the atmosphere. You can use garden flowers such as tulips, daisies and roses or give an exotic touch to the atmosphere by using lilies or orchids. Potted seasonal bulbs such as tulips or daffodils are lovely for a spring wedding. The pots can be painted to match the wedding colors or a coordinating metallic color. Then use these lovely flowers as wedding favor gifts.

Silk flowers are a great choice that can be much less expensive and yet almost indistinguishable from the real thing. By arranging them yourself with help from your bridesmaids, you can save a substantial amount of money.

Candles are another classic choice that is inexpensive yet very impressive when grouped with ribbons or mirrors. Water filled glass cylinders grouped together and filled with silk flowers from your wedding flowers are very stylish with a floating candle in each.

Church pew decorations are also a significant part of the church wedding decorations. You can decorate the pews using flowers, tulle and ribbons. Use of Christmas ornaments in various styles can give a creative look. You can attach the ornaments to the pew with silk or satin ribbons. It provides a gorgeous and well-decorated look to the pew. Fabric bows of organza or gossamer are also a great idea for decorating the pew. Tulle swags hung from pew to pew give a breathtaking look to the church. Candle rings can be perfect doubling as pew decorations and then with candles at your reception. While bows are the traditional choice of decorations for pews, small flowers, birds or butterflies made of feathers, seashells, heart sachets, or cones made from sheets of music holding wedding flowers can all be successfully used to give a celebratory ambiance to your wedding.

Some traditional items can be used for the church decoration such as a warm welcome table decorated with flowers and ribbon. You can hang large bows, flower garlands and streamers on the doors. The front doors of the church can also be attractive and inviting with vibrant wreaths. A combination of flowers, ribbons and balloons offers an extremely beautiful option. To decorate the entrance to your wedding, consider using topiaries or sparkle trees on either side of the door. Even artificial plants with white lights can look festive to set the tone of your wedding. Use of pomander balls makes an attractive addition to the entryway, arch, foyer or chandelier.

You may also go for the theme-based church wedding decorations. You can choose from various themes such as hearts, fairytale, beach, Asian, or nautical themes to name a few. You can tie the seashells along the aisle and over the tulle on each pew for a beach-themed wedding. For an Asian-themed wedding, you can use colorful Japanese lanterns or Thai silk scarves to decorate the pew ends. Attach miniature glass slippers to tulle or organza bows for a fairytale-themed wedding.

Church wedding decorations create a personal and cheerful atmosphere for your wedding ceremony and make your special day a memorable one.
