Ceremony Decorations

Ceremony Decorations

You may have a great idea for how you want your wedding reception to look, but you have to think about your ceremony decorations as well. Most people want something that is elegant, but they don’t know when to stop. The key to elegance is striking the right balance between what you choose to decorate and what you choose to leave open. Every church and ceremony spot is different though, and there is no one right answer for anyone. You have to trust your sense of judgment, but you should know if you keep it simple, it’ll look better, and it will save you money.

Flowers are common for ceremony decorations, and that is because they can be beautiful and elegant all at the same time. You want to stick to just a few types of flowers, and you have to use them sparingly. When you use flowers for ceremony decorations, you might also want to stick to one or two colors. That makes it easier to handle, easier on your budget, and will look better than a mess of different colors all over the place. If you have a favorite flower, you can use it if you think it fits with what you are trying to do. Don’t use it if the color clashes with your choice of wedding theme colors.

Placement is important when it comes to ceremony decorations. You want to move stuff around and experiment before you decide on the final placement. It might be a good idea to have a few others to help you decide. Your ceremony decorations can go near the front of the church, and there is always something elegant about pew bows if they are done correctly and used in the right way. You can have them on each row of pews, or you can have them on every other one if you wish.

One last touch to ceremony decorations might be candles. The best thing about candles is that it is hard to go wrong with them. You can have a few, or you can have a bunch, and as long as they are in the right colors they are going to look great. Just remember that when using this type of ceremony decorations, you have to think about fire hazard. Don’t have more candles than you can keep an eye on at any time. You don’t want to burn the church down while you say ‘I do’.
