12 Ways to Make Your Ceremony Decor The Highlight of Your Wedding

From walking down the aisle towards the love of your life to solidifying your matrimony with a kiss, your Ceremony is undoubtedly the most important part of your wedding day. All eyes (and camera lenses) are on you so selecting a beautiful background for your vows should be a no brainer. The moments that await you at the altar will last a lifetime and how you choose to design it is sure to have a tremendous impact. Here are twelve of our favorite Ceremony designs to get you inspired! 

  1. Pop of Greenery

Really make your altar stand out like this couple did with our Green Leaves Arch. Among all white drapery and chairs, the intricacy of this arch isn’t lost!

2. Luscious Florals and Lanterns

Need to dress up an existing altar? Add some wild blooms in shades that reflect your wedding colors and along with romantic lighting, like these candle-lit lanterns to make the space your own.

3. Make it Black & White

Sticking with neutrals in your ceremony set up will make more of a statement than you think! The contrast between black and white is stunning enough on its own but just a touch of greenery will bring even more life into your ceremony. 

4. Circular Installation Greenery

We don’t know what’s more beautiful, the rustic wood plank wall or floral covered circle arch. The two complement one another perfectly and are a great way to bring the outdoors inside.

5. Chiffon Covered Chuppah

There is nothing wrong with keeping your ceremony set up simple and traditional! This Chuppah made of white chiffon and decorated with pastel florals just exudes elegance.

6. Antique Furniture Altar

Give something antique a new life by incorporating it into your altar. Whether you like the look of an old desk or a vintage folding screen, it’s sure to add character. Some delicate florals or pillar candles are all the finishing touches you’ll need to transform the piece of furniture.

7. Fireplace Drapery

We love the idea of finding an existing spot to hold your ceremony and fireplaces are one of our favorites! Drape a piece of chiffon and add a little bit of green and your backdrop is now ceremony ready.

8. Framed by Florals

Sometimes, all you need is a bit of green. This sculpted floral arch and the venue’s marble columns create the perfect little nook for this couple to say I Do.

9. Embracing the Local Scenery

Is it possible to find a ceremony spot with a better view than this? Two simple floral arrangements are all that’s needed to transform this terrace into a ceremony.

10. Macramé & More

Embrace your inner boho bride with a Macramé arch. There is no such thing as overdoing it when it comes to decorations. Personally we love the look of going all out with florals, candles, and vases.

11. A Grand Entrance

Does your venue have an extra door that you aren’t sure what to do with? If it looks anything like this one, why not make it part of your altar. This way you are utilizing the door instead of losing it.

12. A Rustic Wooden Arch

Such a versatile option no matter where you decide to tie the knot, not to mention all the different ways to style the wooden arch. You can never go wrong with entangled florals to dress it up!
