When a couple get married there is a huge amount of planning and preparation that goes on behind the scenes in the run up to the big day to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible and that every possible attention to detail is looked after. Although the overall planning that goes into the big day is a joint effort generally it is the bride that looks after the finer points of the preparation such as the flowers, the wedding cake and the decoration of the church. Even though these are relatively small things in the whole scheme of the wedding these details go to make whole occasion as special as it can possibly be and as these are things that the bride places great emphasis on they can be very stressful for her. So when it comes to decorating the church for the wedding day what can the bride do to make it look as special as possible?
Although the decoration of the church does not make the ceremony any more or less important the decoration and appearance of the church is all part of the overall aesthetics of the occasion and so the bride wants it to look as beautiful as possible. Traditionally the pews in the church are decorated with a white ribbon at each end or a color which matches both the wedding dress and the wedding flowers carried by the bride and bridesmaid.
Generally the wedding pew decoration is a simple but elegant touch which does not detract from the bride, nor should it look as if the church is over decorated, another popular but more modern approach to wedding pew decoration is to tie a small bunch of flowers to the end of each pew, again, these should be simple and not to over powering. An option that is gaining in popularity is an amalgamation of both the pew bow and flowers, keeping a simple but modern look all the way down the aisle.
Do not be afraid to add a bit of color to your pew wedding decoration, a splash of color that compliments the bride and bridesmaids dresses can create a stunning effect as they walk down the aisle, as with all of the wedding pew decorations you should try not to over complicate the decoration and use it to add to the look rather than detract from the bride.
If you inquire with better quality wedding flower suppliers it is possible to hire small potted shrubs or miniature trees to place at the end of each pew, this can be especially effective if you go for a fragrance plant, something like a jasmine or orange blossom with the scent of the plant circulating as the bride walks down the aisle, this is a wonderfully memorable moment.
You may choose to scatter rose petals down the entire length of the aisle in readiness for the bride's arrival so she can glide elegantly down to the altar on a bed of rose petals; this is especially effective if done in conjunction with a contrasting pew bow or bouquet of flowers.
Using fabric swathes to decorate the back of the wedding pews is a simple but effective way of adding an amount of decoration and color to the church; this is a popular method of decoration as it is fairly cheap and easy to carry out.
These tips are nothing more than pointers to help you get the very best look possible at your wedding. Where possible I would always recommend using the best quality material available to get the best look, you do not want the look ruined by using an inferior quality fabric and where possible always use hardy plants and flowers as wedding pew decoration as the look will be spoiled if the flowers are wilting and dying before the bride walks down the aisle.
