Are you looking to create a beautiful and comfortable setting for a church wedding? Look no further than Impressions Church Chairs. In this article, we will discuss various ways to rearrange the church sanctuary for indoor weddings, as well as ideas for decorating the church to make it a truly magical space for the happy couple.

Ways to Rearrange the Church Sanctuary

One of the benefits of Bertolini Church Chairs is that you can move them around, stack extras in a back room, and rearrange them for special events. This portability makes Bertolini Chairs easy to use at all sorts of church events, such as church dinners, socials, classrooms, weddings, and (of course) for weekly church meetings.

Changing the chairs around can really make weddings special. Arranging chairs in a unique way will instantly create a unique feeling. If the wedding guest list is small, remove some of the chairs to make the event feel intentionally intimate rather than sparsely attended. Or, add extra space between rows to accommodate wedding decorations and guests wearing formal wear, bouquets, or full skirts.

When setting up for a church wedding, there are several options for arranging the chairs in the sanctuary. Here are a few popular layouts to consider.

  1. Facing the Front with a Center Aisle: This classic layout is perfect for a traditional wedding ceremony. The chairs are set up in straight rows facing the front of the church, with a center aisle for the bride to walk down.
  2. Semicircular Rows Surrounding the Altar: For a more intimate feel, consider arranging the chairs in semicircular rows around the altar. This layout creates a sense of unity and closeness among the guests.
  3. Centered Rows with Aisles on Either Side: Another option is to set up the chairs in one long row with two aisles on either side. This layout works well for smaller weddings and allows for easy access for guests to move around.
  4. Other Options: Get creative with the chair arrangement! You can experiment with diagonal rows, chevron rows, circular seating, or even a mix of different layouts to create a unique setting for the wedding.

Ideas for Decorating the Church

In addition to rearranging the chairs, decorating the church is an important aspect of setting the scene for a wedding. Here are some ideas to make the church look extra special for a wedding.

  • Flower Arch at the Front: Create a stunning flower arch at the front of the church, right underneath where the couple will stand. This beautiful backdrop adds a touch of elegance to the ceremony. Alternately, a flower arch could stand over the door to the church to make wedding photos sparkle.
  • Adorn the End Chairs: Decorate the end chairs along the aisles with ribbons, flowers, sashes, or balloons to add a pop of color and charm to the seating arrangement. Artificial flowers are excellent for this as they do not wilt, can be reused, and won’t drip water or pollen onto your church chairs.
  • Candles and Fairy Lights: For a romantic ambiance, consider adding candles and fairy lights throughout the church. These small touches can create a magical atmosphere for the wedding ceremony.
  • Aisle Carpet Runner: Buy a long carpet runner for the aisle in a color that complements the décor of the church or wedding party. White, red, and tan are popular colors for aisle carpet runners. The carpet runner can be reused endlessly and sets the stage for the special and sacred event.
