How to decorate a united methodist church for a wedding

decorate a united methodist church for a wedding


It's interesting:
"Wasn't the wedding ceremony beautiful? The highlight, of course, was Linda floating magically down the aisle. I'm sure we were all thinking exactly the same ..."

Couples getting married in a United Methodist Church are often able to decorate the church before their wedding, in order to add a personal touch to their ceremony. Although they probably don't have as much freedom as couples getting married in a hotel, they should still be able to dress the church for the occasion. The rules at each church differ, so couples should check with the church staff ahead of time, to see what is allowed.

Instructions

    • 1

      Book a time to get into the church to decorate. If you are not able to decorate until your wedding day, ask friends and family members not in the wedding party to help out. You will have enough things to worry about, without having to make time to decorate the church.

    • 2

      Use pew bows in your wedding colors to add a personal touch. Some churches will provide pew hangers to drape the bows from. If your church does not have these, use floral tape, masking tape, elastic bands or ribbons to attach the bows -- so you do not damage the pews.

    • 3

      Display flower arrangements throughout the church. You can put bouquets on the alter, at the entry and in the chapel area. If there aren't enough flat surfaces to place vases on, use pedestals.

    • 4

      Use candles to decorate the church. The church may have candelabras that you can borrow- but if not, you can rent them. It's a good idea to use drip-less candles or metal candles with wax inserts, so that candle drips don't get all over the floor.
