Our parish wedding coordinator, Anne Rogers, will be happy to answer
any questions you may have about flowers. She may be reached at

Flowers are welcome in the church for all festive occasions. The
general rule is that they are never more elaborate than for major
festivals like Christmas and Easter.
The Parish Flower Guild creates a single, large floral arrangement
for the wedding party that stands in front of the pulpit. Colors are
chosen to coordinate with the bride’s choices. The flowers remain in
place, without alteration, for Sunday services.
If other flowers are desired, a good general rule is simplicity.
Acceptable locations include window sills, a stand at the right of the
altar, and in the center aisle on ends of pews. Flowers are never placed
on the altar or altar rails. Arches and other structures are
inappropriate and not used.
It is the florist’s responsibility to call the Parish Wedding
Consultant at least five days before the wedding to set a time for doors
to be opened and flowers placed.
Non-floral displays are sometimes requested. Candlesticks for pews,
and an aisle runner are acceptable additions. The florist provides
these, taking care that adornments do not mar the church facilities with
tape residue or sharp objects. Failure to comply will result in billing
by the church for professional removal or repair.
Rose petals may be used moderately in the center aisle, but no
birdseed or rice, please!
