The
decoration of the church should be discussed with minister at the first meeting
to find out what the church's policy is. Some churches will not allow flowers to
be brought in. The church supplies the floral arrangements. Others will allow
the couple to supply the flowers.
Often
churches have regular helpers who arrange the flower displays and who will help
display the wedding flowers for a contribution to church funds. Because they are
familiar with the Church they known what looks the most effective. This is a
great help for the inexperienced flower arranger, particularly at this hectic
time. Alternatively the florist will arrange the displays.
When
the church is hosting several weddings on the same day there will not be time to
change the floral arrangements. The church will be decorated by the church
flower arrangers and cost divided amongst the couples. The Church decorators are
usually available to discuss the type of arrangements with couples.
If
couple have very specific ideas about the way they want to decorate the church
it may be advisable to choose a less popular day, when theirs will be the only
wedding taking place in the church.
