About Wedding Pew Flowers
Colorful flowers attached to the pews in a church guide a bride down the aisle to her waiting groom. Guests will admire the eye-level floral arrangements while waiting for the ceremony to begin. Silk or fresh blooming pew flowers dress up plain ceremony locations while reinforcing wedding colors and adding elegance to the ceremony atmosphere.

Features
-
Round flower pomanders, swags, individual stems and small bouquets fit on the end of wedding pews. The Knot recommends selecting pew flowers that conjure up special memories. Replicating a bouquet given during the engagement or using the familiar peonies found in your grandmother's backyard adds warmth and personality to the wedding aisle.
Preparation
-
Work with the florist to choose pew flowers while planning the other floral elements of the wedding. Pew flowers can coordinate or contrast with the reception centerpieces, play off the bridesmaid bouquets or celebrate a cultural tradition. Let the florist know the style of pews to determine the best way to secure the flowers. Pew flowers can attach with clips, hooks or simply tie or hang on the ends of the pews.

Types
-
Fresh or artificial flowers can adorn wedding pews. Free up precious wedding weekend time by preparing silk arrangements months before the ceremony. Every type of flower is in season when you choose silk, according to wedding experts at The Knot.
Fresh flowers add fragrance and authentic beauty to the pews. Stretch a tight fresh flower budget by embellishing a single stem or a simple trio of favorite flowers on each pew.
Accessories
-
Tulle, bows and ribbon make pew flowers look larger and more elaborate. Drape colorful or white tulle from the end of one pew to the next. Secure the fabric to the back of the pew with flowers attached to a hanger. To save on expenses, use large floral arrangements at the first and last pew, with smaller coordinating arrangements on the rest of the pews. To make the flower budget stretch even further, attach bows to alternating pews in lieu of flowers, using half as many flowers. Fall leaves, pine cones, craft birds and even floral clip-on accessories (butterflies, ladybugs) can dress up pew flowers.
Benefits
-
Pew flowers add a finishing touch to the wedding ceremony location. Some brides choose to forgo decorating the aisle with messy confetti or slippery flower petals for classic pew flowers. Brides on a budget can make pew flowers into a double-duty decoration. Move pew flowers to receptions held nearby. Clip-on arrangements can adorn the back of the bridal party's chairs or hand railings leading into the reception hall.
