We find that many brides are not aware that most churches have policies concerning what can or cannot be done at a wedding. While your individual church will have its own rules and regulations,k in general most churches have these guidelines in place.
Typically a church will not allow permanently attached furniture to be moved. No thumbtacks or nails can be driven into the woodwork nor can anything be used to deface it.
Saucers or mats must be placed under all palms or floral arrangements that rest on the floor.
All arrangements for music, ceremony and decorations must be submitted and are subject to the approval of the priest, minister or church wedding coordinator.
Floral arrangements or candles that must be taped to each pew are likely to be forbidden. The best rule is to remember that decorations should be kept to a minimum so as not to detract from the dignity of the sanctuary.
The church may require that its organist be employed.
The church may require that no pictures be taken during the ceremony - especially flash photos.
Many would require that all fees be paid in cash prior to or at the rehearsal.
And common sense dictates that no trash be left behind in the building and no alcoholic beverages be served or consumed in the building.
If you have not been provided with a printed set of guidelines for the place you have chosen for your ceremony, be sure to ask for clarification.
