Ceremonial Stunners: The Top Four Must Have Wedding Ceremony Decorations

You did it. You found the perfect place to host your wedding ceremony. Now how do you personalize it? How do you turn an okay venue into something stunning? With the wedding ceremony decorations you choose.

This isn't just any event.

You and your fiancee are going to exchange life-long vows. The decorations for your wedding ceremony should be beautiful. Personal. And reflect the depth of your love.

Have you considered a theme? A theme can give your ceremony a pulled together look. Do you both love the beach? Or have ties to a particular culture?

Choose elements from your theme and work them into the following suggestions. But you don't need a theme to have a beautiful wedding ceremony.

Creating a stunning ceremony is easier than you think

Invest in these decorations for your wedding, and turn any facility into the location of your dreams.

Living Plants

These decorations can tie your wedding ceremony to the season.

Dwarf Japanese Maples in the Fall. Baby Christmas trees decorated in your wedding colors in the winter. Ferns in the Spring. Sculpted topiary in the summer.

Or you can chose plants that fit your theme. Bonsai for an Asian-inspired ceremony. Bird of Paradise for a tropical wedding.

You can give the plants to anyone who helped put the wedding together. Or use them to decorate your new home.

Arches

This is a great decoration for outdoor ceremonies. Or weddings in a private home. The arches can be simple or ornate, large or small.

Look for arches made out of wood, metal, or even balloons.

An arch will frame you nicely and keep the eyes of your guests focused forward.

Flowers

These are by far the most versatile decorations for a wedding ceremony. Lay some on the altar. Wrap them around the legs of a chuppa. Arrange them on a pedestal.

Rose petals sprinkled down the main aisle add a sophisticated touch.

Dramatic Lighting

Consider having your wedding ceremony by candlelight. Tea lights are great decorations for smaller venues. Float them in water. Place them in colored globes.

Dress up a long aisle with candelabra and dripping candles. Torches are particularly dramatic decorations for an outdoor wedding ceremony.

Will the ceremony be at the beach? Small bonfires can provide both light and heat.

You'll always remember your wedding ceremony. Make it a beautiful memory. Use these decorating tips and turn it into a stunning affair. Even if Martha Stewart doesn't return your phone calls.
