Here are some of our favourite ideas for memorable church wedding decorations:
Pay Homage to Religion
Incorporating symbolic references to your religious beliefs can enrich the meaning and magnificence of your ceremony space. Adorn the end of pews with ordered arrangements of worship imagery like crosses, the Jewish Star of David, or the Islamic crescent moon. Line the aisle with potted olive trees—a symbol of peace in Abrahamic faiths. Accent doorways with structured sprays evoke the Seven Species of fruits and grains sacred in Judaism.
Use Oversized Planters
Placing stately oversized urns, pedestal planters, or bushel baskets at key points in the church adds architectural weight and flow to the space. These grand vessels give you a place to create lavish floral displays, verdant tree plantings, or sculptural swaths of trailing vines and greenery. Cluster them in groupings on the altar or use them to delineate the start of the aisle.
Add Bold and Whimsical Trees
For a striking cathedral look, flank the altar or line the aisle with towering 10-12 foot trees. We adore the architectural silhouettes of twisted birch poles or slender bamboo sticks adorned with dangling orchids or glass baubles. Potted olive trees or cypress topiary cones also introduce amazing height and greenery.
Frame the Entry With Florals
Make a grand entrance by framing the front doors of the church with lavish floral arrangements exploding from oversized urns. This creates an awe-inspiring first impression as guests arrive and flowers become the focal point for portraits as the couple exits after being married.
Create an Aisle of Greenery
For the ultimate verdant ambience in the ceremony, construct a greenery “aisle runner” by placing potted plants, vines, topiaries, moss, and greenery swags in a continuous line leading to the altar. It’s reminiscent of walking through an enchanted garden or forest glade—perfect for a nature-inspired wedding.
Wrap the Railings With Greenery
Does your house of worship have stair railings leading up to the altar or a raised interior balcony area? Wrap them in long strands of seeded eucalyptus, begonia vines, smilax, or jasmine garlands. This transforms these linear elements into cascading botanical accents.
