Did you, or are you going to decorate your ceremony site?

We plan on getting married outdoors (weather willing!) and are just having an arch decorated w/flowers. We aren%26#039;t purchasing an aisle runner because there is a flagstone path to walk down, but we are having a flower girl w/a basket of rose petals.





Our reception will be at a different location ~ so whatever decorations we have at the ceremony site will need to be easily/quickly removed. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!





Personally, I think what you have planned sounds perfect! I would leave it at that and enjoy the beauty that will be surrounding you. I like the idea of the arch with flowers and no aisle runner. I hate to sound cliche, but the old saying is true....%26quot;less is more.%26quot; It will also be much easier for you to simply throw the arch in someone%26#039;s vehicle and that will be the extent of your cleanup. Really, nothing else is needed in my opinion.





Good luck and I will cross my fingers for you on the weather!
Reply:if you are having seating for your wedding i would suggest a tulle swag from row to row with some cute little flower arrangements on the seats

like this but with more swag- not so taunt looking





you can clip or tie them to the chairs- easy to remove and attractive





and maybe have 2 larger arrangements at the base of the arch where you are standing.
Reply:You won%26#039;t have time to move things from your ceremony to the reception site. Even if you appoint someone to do this task, you can%26#039;t exactly be pushing guests out of the way to take down stuff AS they are leaving. You%26#039;re going to have to suck it up and purchase separate decor for your reception site.
Reply:I think that if you wanted to move decorations, keep it simple. Maybe line the pathway with little pots of flowers, and then use them for your centerpieces? I think that could be really inexpensive and if you measure out the path, then not too much to move. ( Like do one every few feet or so )
Reply:I think that it is a good idea to keep it simple the day of the wedding. I think moving decorations would be a nightmare. You will need separate decorations I think. I did have my guest book and a few photos taken from one site to another.





My other recommendation is to find beautiful places to have your wedding so that decorations will be minimal. I got married around the same time as one of my friends. We paid a little bit more to rent this beautiful chapel and spent very little on decor or flowers. She had hers at the church we grew up at which was really ugly. She spent more money trying to make an ugly place look pretty than if she had just rented the pretty place. And it was a much bigger headache!!
