How you decorate your ceremony venue deserves some careful thought, as the floral arrangements you choose will set the scene for your walk down the aisle.
Churches are often decorated with flowers all year round, courtesy of volunteers from the parish, and are often decorated more lavishly than usual at certain times of year, such as Easter. So if your wedding date coincides, the wedding decorations will benefit without extra costs.
Church flower groups will sometimes arrange floral decorations for weddings, at a much more modest cost than commercial florists, and it is worth checking to see if this service is available with your minister or priest. If you choose a commercial florist, they will need to visit the church before deciding what shape and size of decorations to recommend.
