How to Decorate Church Entrance Doors for a Wedding

Church door decorations can lend a festive feel to your wedding ceremony.

If you are getting married the traditional way, church decorations should form part of your wedding planning. Start with decorating the church door, as it is the entrance that will welcome guests to your wedding ceremony. While you extend your wedding theme decorations to grace the church door, you can also choose from a variety of festive decorations, ranging from simple to dramatic.

Things You'll Need

• Floral wreath
• Balloons, streamers or ribbons
• Polystyrene foam cutout designs

Instructions

1. Check with the caretaker of your church or the priest in charge on whether there are any restrictions on the wedding decorations you can use on the church door.

2. Hang a floral wreath on each of the doors at the church entrance. You can use flowers in any color; or if you have a wedding theme color, you can extend the theme to your church decorations. An evergreen wreath with a bow in a color that matches your wedding theme color is another option.

3. Attach items that are also being used as part of your wedding decorations. These could include inexpensive decorations such as balloons, streamers or ribbons, which can add a festive feel to the church celebrations.

4. Use polystyrene foam cutout designs for a dramatic effect. You can place smartly designed cutouts of hearts, birds or the initials of the bridal couple on the church door.
