One of the most overlooked areas when using wedding decorations for a church is the ceiling. Most church ceilings are nothing but popcorn-type ceiling cover. They are typically unattractive for a wedding, but it can be decorated in many ways, with little expense or time.
The most important areas of your church that should be decorated to make an unforgettable wedding are the aisle, altar, entrance, center, and ceiling. Usually four out of five get special treatment.
Many brides do not think about even touching the ceiling, but wedding decorations can only help to enhance the church ceiling, and the ambiance that one is trying to create inside the church for their special day.
A unique way to decorate the church ceiling is to use what are known as festoons. These are usually strings or garlands that are made of leaves or flowers that are suspended between two points.
If festoons are done correctly and you have enough of them, then the effect will be like a canopy. Once the canopy is made, then twinkle lights can be strung in the garlands, or while hanging the garlands, you can wrap them with the lights.
The choice is up to you as to how your make them shine and produce that romantic glow. To enhance this effect even more, you may want to have streamers, ribbons, or lace hanging and possibly balloons. This decoration will take away from the harsh lights that are often found in churches, and give the church more of a romantic feel for both the wedding party and their guests.
Another way to decorate the ceiling of a church is to add balloons. This can hide an ugly ceiling, but also is a way to add more color into the room. Be sure not to overwhelm the ceiling with two many decorations as this will take attention away from the wedding couple.

However, if you want to give your church’s ceiling a little tender loving care for your big day, then remember that you do have options available.
