Church Wedding Decorations With a Floral Theme

When it comes to your church wedding decorations no decision is more important that the flowers you choose. Flowers can be used to help set the tone for your special day.

It’s important to take into consideration and not disturb the sanctity and purity of the atmosphere of a church setting. You may want to use lace, pearls, crystals, beads, and candles along with your flowers. You will need to consider designs for the church pew, aisle, centerpiece, altar, entry, ceiling as well as door decorations.

England’s Oldest Wurlitzer Cinema Organ

Nestling in the beautiful little fishing village of Beer, in East Devon, lies the Congregational Church. Situated in Fore Street, the church has been home to Britain’s oldest Wurlitzer theatre organ for the last fifty years.

The little Wurlitzer organ was the first to be imported into this country from the U.S.A. in 1925. While the Picture House in Walsall was being rebuilt following a fire in 1924, the owners Provincial Cinematograph Theatres ordered a brand new 2-manual 6-rank organ from the Rudolph Wurlitzer Manufacturing Company for installation at the refurbished cinema. The organ cost in the region of £3,900.

Church Weddings Vs Other Ceremonies

Girl’s dreams are made up of the day when they dress in bridal finery, flowing gown, with flowers go down the aisle to meet their prince charming in shining Armour and take the wedding oath administered by the priest.

Marriages do take place in hotels, resorts and often at outdoor locations in farmhouses etc. But then people who get married in churches are very lucky indeed.

If you are looking to create a setting based on a theme for the wedding and do up the venue accordingly, you might not be allowed to do so in a church, whereas in any private venue you will be able to do so easily.

Offertory Success

One of the first tasks that will be given to any church pianist is that of providing a weekly offertory. While some may consider the presentation of a solo one of the easier aspects of the position, I feel that the quality of the weekly offertory is one of the major factors that distinguishes a good church musician from a superb one.

Because of the role music plays in the church service, the offertory must be selected with care. Think about where the solo will occur in the order of worship. Are you following a lively choral anthem that will lead right into the congregational worship? Will the offering follow a generally somber prayer for the needs of the congregants? If you find yourself in a church without a strong liturgical tradition as I do, the positioning of the offertory may be altered weekly. There are few scenarios worse than a grandiose arrangement that follows a quiet time of meditation. Without advance thought and planning, you can sometimes find yourself in an awkward situation.
