Traditional Church Wedding DecorationsChurch Flowers for the AltarTraditional church wedding decorations are usually large and symmetrical. They must be large enough to be viewed from ten to forty feet away and still have enough size in relation to the sanctuary space.
Symmetrical or Mirror ImagesSymmetrical wedding floral arrangements just means what you do to one side of the church - you do to the other to "balance" it out.To give a uniformed look - the arrangements are generally made to be mirror images of each other. If you were to have long trails of ivy coming out of the right side of an arrangements - the other spray should have the ivy trailing out of the left side of the other arrangement to complete the "mirror image" look.
A traditional "fan spray" is one sided, usually backed with greenery, and faces out towards the guests in the chairs or pews.Choosing a tall linear flowers that fan out in a sweeping arch gives the wedding flower arrangement height and definition.
