Catholic weddings are a celebration of faith, love, and tradition. They are usually held in a church or a chapel, where the couple exchanges vows and receives the sacrament of matrimony. Whether you are planning a classic or a contemporary wedding, you will need some beautiful Catholic wedding decorations to make your event memorable and elegant. Here are some ideas for Catholic wedding decorations in Canada that you can use for your big day.
Altar Flowers
The altar is the focal point of the Catholic wedding ceremony, where the priest officiates and the couple exchanges rings. It is also where the Eucharist is celebrated and received by the couple and the guests. Therefore, decorating the altar with flowers is a way to honor and beautify this sacred space. You can choose flowers that match your color scheme and theme, or opt for white flowers that symbolize purity and grace. You can also arrange the flowers in vases, baskets, urns, or pedestals to create a stunning effect.¹

Pew bows are usually made of ribbon, tulle, lace, or fabric, and they are tied to the ends of each pew along the aisle.

The smaller candles represent the individual lives of the couple, while the large candle represents their new life together as one. You can decorate the unity candle with flowers, ribbons, or personalized stickers to make it more meaningful.²
