Since our church is already furnished as a place of dignity and beauty, few decorations are needed and these should be carefully planned.

It is the responsibility of the bride's family to arrange with a florist for decorations. In the placing of flowers, palms or other decorations, care must be taken to insure that the floors, carpets, walls, and furnishings not be damaged.

Furniture on the Chancel and on the floor may not be removed or rearranged. Decorations will not be hung or suspended from fixtures or furnishings. Ribbon or simple arrangements of flowers may mark reserved pews. Except for these markers, no other decorations will be attached to the furniture. No nails, screws, wires or Scotch tape will be used in decorating.

The altar is central to the service. Plants and flowers may not block the view of the cross or access to the altar. We recommend one central arrangement in the sanctuary or two small arrangements in the chapel.

In selecting the color scheme of your wedding, you should first consider the colors in the existing facilities. If your wedding is scheduled during a church seasonal celebration such as Easter or Christmas, it must be planned around existing decorations, such as red poinsettias at Christmas.

The building will be open for flowers to be delivered 1-1/2 hours before the wedding. The florist, family or whoever decorates must remove all decorations no later than one hour following the wedding and will be responsible for any damage incurred. Flowers may be left for the Sunday worship service and an announcement of your marriage will be in the church bulletin. Please talk with the wedding coordinator or church administrator about this.

If you would like to use a unity candle or candelabra, the church will provide these for your use.
