The altar is the stage for your wedding. It is the first place
your guests will see you and your groom, and it is the setting where two
become one. What is a stage without the proper scenery?
Depending on where you are getting married, there may be certain restrictions on the decorations, so be sure to check before you go ahead and start planning.
Of course, the easiest decoration is to have flower arrangements made than can be transported to your reception site. But rather than having arrangements that match all the other centerpieces, maybe splurge a little here with a different flower that you absolutely love, but wouldn't fit into your other florals. These can be transferred to the head table at the reception.
If you are not having a
religious ceremony, don't ignore certain religious customs. Especially
if you will be outside, talk with your florist about creating a Chuppah,
which is basically a tent of flowers under which you and your groom
will stand. It is a beautiful way to frame the event. This doesn't need
to be made of flowers; you can chose to have something made of fabric,
or gather together natural materials.
If you have chosen a
specific theme for your wedding, your altar is a great place to
introduce this. A scattering of different sized pumpkins or bales of hay
with buckets of apples resting on them for a fall wedding would be
perfect. If you are looking to start the romance early, you can include
tall candelabras on the altar or different sized pillar candle on
mirrored bases.
If the stage is already set, as in some cases the altar is already beautiful as it is. You can leave it be which is certainly cost effective, or just keep your decorations simple, clean, and traditional. It is your stage to design.
