Ceremony Decor

Okay. So I'm trying to tie together ideas for the ceremony decor. There are a few things I've seen before and I love and there are a few things that I've never seen but I like the idea of. I really want to tie the elements together so that it's not like a complete hodge podge of things all shoved together in a chime-job wedding...

So the things I've seen before and love:
A ton of candles at the front of the church/alter. I have to find out if I'm allowed use open flames or if they have to be in candle holders.
I also love a whole lot of flower petals down the aisle. I had been thinking just roses. But I'm intrigued by one of the pictures below that has gerbera daisies and other flowers tossed in the aisle...
The biggest question is what do I do to the pews? I don't want to do nothing. And I got this idea from my aunt where there were pictures of the couple hanging from the pews. And I thought what if we have pics of us on ever 2nd or 3rd pew. Down the right side will be pictures of Eric and down the left side will be pictures of me. The pictures will go from baby to recent. I'm not sure how to hang them. And I'm not sure if there should be ribbon accents involved. I'm also not sure if I should maybe do picture, nothing, flower, nothing, picture, nothing, all the way down the aisle...

The front of the church seems like the perfect place to put candles. I really hope we can have them with out glass around them... And I think the green stuff that lives in there is very nice for background. My mom wants to get a nice arrangement that is at the center and then have candles all around that. I think that will be nice.

This little assortment of flowers on a ribbon on the pew seems nice.


This is an arrangement that is very DIY. We could do something like it for the front of the church. It has a lot of height.
Something huge and expensive like this might be nice for the front of the church too... Then it could be moved to the entry way for the reception.
It also might be adorable to have little mini balls of flowers in the pews and then hung in the trees at Kelly's...

I mentioned these above. Do they look nice or do they look like someone destroyed a bunch of arrangements and scattered them on the ground?

Wow, lots of thoughts! I love the pom -poms and think they would be great in the trees at Kelly's but not necessary on the pews, glad that you saw the other wedding with no pew decor its not necessary. Lots of rose petals for the aisle is great, fake and real great idea! DIY sounds great and doable, I like your ideas for the big vases/front of church. If you don't do pictures on the pews I still love the idea somewhere, trees? If not too much work.
