Church wedding decorations should be carefully planned. Before you begin with decorating the whole place, it is important that you talk to the priest and ask for any restrictions as to the wedding decor that can be used. Some churches have their rules regarding this matter for the reason that they wanted to preserve the sanctity of the house of worship and that is why some churches only allow nominal decorations.

Since some churches have restrictions, it is better that you ask first before you plan to purchase flowers and other decorations. Usually you can place medium sized floral centerpiece near the altar or on the other side. Pew decorations and candles are also commonly found inside the church and the couple is also free to decorate the outside entry of the church. Most of the time, decorations inside the church is not as grand as you wanted because of some church policies that you have to observe.

There are many beautiful and grand churches where you can celebrate your wedding ceremony. Houses of worship like these need not be overdone with too many decorations since the structure itself is a work of art. All you have to do is to add little adornment to like some pew decorations. In making for pew decorations, you can use flowers and ribbons tied or hanged.

One of the most prominent church wedding decorations is the candles. This particular decoration is always present since it forms part of the ceremony where the couple has to light it. So with candles, you can surely make it more stylish by adding beautiful flower centerpiece and place the candle on the middle. As the candle is lit, you can feel the special mood of the occasion.

Scattered rose petals on the aisle add a romantic touch as the wedding ceremony is celebrated. This is also a common church wedding decoration. As the bride enters the church, her pathway is scattered with flower petals. Another addition or modification is for the flower girls to sprinkle the aisle with flower petals as they march ahead of the bride.

In case you are on a tight budget. You can ask for the priest if they have available pew decorations from former weddings hosted and definitely the priest and church personnel are also happy to help you out. If buying fresh flowers is too expensive, you can resort to silk wedding flowers or artificial decorations that look definitely natural. You can also make use of ribbons alone to decorate the pew. You just have to be creative with the church wedding decorations since you are not really allowed to overly adorn the place.

Having additional church wedding decorations is a choice, since most churches are already beautiful and adorned with flowers and candles. And before you think of any move, you have to visit the place first and try to ask for some ideas. Bear in mind that the ceremony in itself is the central attraction of your wedding and not about the decorations.
Church wedding decorations are just there to make your occasion beautiful but saying your vows to one another is even more special.
