There is nothing quite as beautiful as a glowing bride walking down the aisle surrounded by gorgeous wedding ceremony flowers. The best part is if the bride chooses to she can make any flower in any color she wants using crepe paper. Making your own wedding ceremony flowers is easy. All you need is a book preferably one for making wedding flowers. This type of book allows you to see the finished floral arrangement so you have a visual aid as well as instructions.
You have two main areas to decorate for the ceremony; the isle and the church alter. When decorating the isle most brides chose to attach flowers to the ends of the pews either on the isle side or on both sides that decision is up to you. The flowers on the outside will not be seen in any of your photographs so the decision to place them there are strictly for your guests benefit. If you have the time and the extra little bit of cash it is a nice added touch.
The church alter is the second place you will want to decorate. How you decorate the church alter for your wedding is entirely up to. Many brides decide to go with simple floral boutiques and others opt to use huge standing floral arrangements. To decorate the pews you can choose from a single crepe paper flower to a small bouquet of flowers or any number of flowers in between. For a single, double or triple floral arrangement you will want some babies’ breath to place in back of the selected number of flowers, a piece of ribbon to tie them together and maybe even a bow. You can attach them to the pew using a piece of floral wire just be sure to cover it with floral tape so no one cuts their fingers on the wire.
On the church alter you can put a few of the small to medium size bouquets or centerpieces and place them on the alter table along side of your unity candles or any other item you have on the church alter itself. You can also make tall floral arrangements and place one at each end of the church alter or you can make as many as you want and place them where you want too. If there are stairs before you get to the church alter many brides place this type of arrangement one on each side of a step or on each step. It is really up to the bride. For more ideas on types and where to place wedding ceremony flowers you can flip through any bridal magazine to get ideas.
