Philly Florist: Wedding Ceremony Decor
Whether you’re getting married in a church, at a venue or outdoors, figuring out decor to perfectly accent the bride and groom gets tricky. When finding decor you want to make sure you aren’t going over the top or aren’t clashing your decor with the venue decor. Today we want to discuss a few different decor options you can include to make sure your ceremony looks absolutely perfect.
Church Ceremony
Most church buildings tend to be beautiful on it’s own so a lot of times you don’t need too much additional decor for the ceremony. Afterall, you don’t want to overdo it and take attention away from the bride and groom.
Some things we recommend include:
- Candles or lanterns down the aisle.
- Floral arrangements that are hung on the ends of the pews.
- Drapery hung down the aisle on the ends or the pews.
- Rose petals down the aisle.
- Two tall floral arrangements on the sides of the lovely couple.
Venue Ceremony
A lot of venues are already decorated with their own items (i.e. chandeliers, drapery, aisle runners, etc). If this is the case, then just simply adding small items here and there will help create the perfect atmosphere to say “I Do!”
Some other items you could include are:
- Aisle runners add an extra touch to the bridal party and bride walking down the aisle.
- Candles create a romantic touch as they are placed on the sides of the aisles.
- Floral arrangements either on the chairs or on the floor down the aisle are also perfect accents.
- Adding sashes to the chairs add texture and extra color to the ceremony.
- Adding a floral arch, large floral arrangements for a beautiful draped backdrop will provide the perfect backdrop for photos for the bride and groom.
Outdoor Ceremony
The outdoors are wonderful because there is no limit to what size decor you are able to use because you have a wide open space. You can even have items outside that you would never have inside a venue (trees, lakes/ocean, having your pets walk down the aisle with you, etc).
Some other items you could include are:
- Aisle runners (especially if it’s on grass) to help make it easier to walk on and help add an extra touch for the ceremony.
- You can add larger decor items outside since you have more space (i.e large haystacks, trees, gazebo, large floral arches, etc).
- Adding sashes to the chairs bring more color and texture.
- Add decor down the aisle (lanterns, pumpkins, flowers, etc).
