Your wedding pew should be a place that makes everyone present at your wedding feel a frisson of excitement. Many churches allow the bride a free hand when it comes to making the pews just right for their big day.
Think about the size of the church where you’re holding your big day. A large church will need pew decorations that stand out when guests show up.
A smaller venue allows the couple to use details that make the space their own.
This is an excellent chance to show off your wedding colors. Think about the colors of the church and use them to your advantage. Dark colors look great against light wood. For example, you’re having a wedding with colors of burgundy and pink, wrap the ends of the pews in burgundy tulle with soft pink silk ribbons.
The pews are also another place to show off your wedding flowers to the delight of your guests. If you’re holding your wedding in the spring, take your fresh spring flowers and create small bouquets at the end of each pew.
Other seasons offer equal chances to bring in the flowers. Dried flowers or silk flowers work equally well. Lighting is a crucial aspect of your wedding. The pew is a good place to put in more light that flatters any bride when she has her wedding photographs taken.
For a charming, fairy tale effect, take strings of fairy lights and wrap the end of the pews in them.
Paying close attention to the church pew can pay off with lovely details that make the wedding venue shine.
