A beautiful church, chapel or cathedral deserves décor to match, and adorning a gorgeous, welcoming doorway with beautiful blooms or foliage is sure to do the trick. Wedding church doorway décor serves as a way to welcome guests, and as a gorgeous pre- and post-wedding ceremony photo backdrop, too. Whether it's arches full of lush foliage, or pedestals filled to the brim with fresh blooms, there's so much room to get creative with unique floral installations that play to your ceremony venue and your style. We've focussed on church doors for this feature, but, of course, you can use these as inspiration for secular venue arrangements, too! Either way, these 28 beautiful floral wedding church doorway ideas will surely make your heart skip a beat!
1. Frothy white foliage, moss and verdant greenery make for the most luscious of wedding arches. An arch this dramatic works best at large-scale venues as it could overpower a more modest church.
2. This style is ideal for framing a church doorway - weave your wedding flowers into several curved tree branches to create a dramatic, romantic look.
3. For a contemporary church door decoration idea, incorporate bundles of gypsophila (baby’s breath) into a deconstructed arch design. These dainty flowers always create a soft, romantic cloud look when bundled together.
4. Forgo the traditional floral designs in your church door décor by gathering hand-picked bundles of branches, grasses and dried flowers.
5. This beautiful living-style installation features blooms on moveable hidden pillars and required no additional fixings. A great option if you're not allowed hang, tie, or tape anything to the outside the church.
6. If your church’s front entrance features potted plants or areas for flowers, why not spruce them up with decorative branches, vines, or your wedding flowers!?
7. Having a Winter wedding? Embrace the season by framing your church doorway with an arch of seasonal foliage.
8. For an Autumn wedding, it doesn't get more magical than this!
9. This wow-factor Summer wedding idea incorporated the bride's love of blue hydrangeas! Florist All For Love used them as the hero flower throughout the 15ft tall arch, which framed the entrance to the church.
10. We love the versatility of these wedding church doorway pedestals, perfect for reusing again at the reception entrance!
11. Looking for a simple way to tie in your church door décor with the rest of wedding flowers? Work your chosen blooms into small wreaths to hang on the doors outside the church. These can also easily be removed after the ceremony and used to decorate your reception.
12. If you want to create an entryway to welcome your guests without opting for an arch design, a natural-looking arrangement will do the trick. This design, made up of plenty of greenery, peonies and garden roses, was installed to make it look like it was naturally growing from the ground up.
13. Frame your entranceway with a vibrant arch of flowers like this colourful design.
14. Winter wedding? Incorporate warm red and pink roses, paired with burgundy branches, scented eucalyptus and wispy pampass grass branches for the most stunning church entryway.
15. Is there anything more romantic than roses and eucalyptus ? We love the fairytale look of this deconstructed floral arch.
16. ALL the heart eyes for this gorgeous and colourful creation!
17. Why not compliment the colour scheme of your church or cathedral’s stonework with your décor and flowers!? Softly-hued stones work best with delicate creams, whites, and soft pastels, as seen here in this lush half or deconstructed arch design.
18. A cloud of magical flowers and foliage featuring ferns, hydrangea and smokebush welcomed guests to this wedding chapel.
19. If your church has steps, guide your guests inside with sprawling handrail arrangements and clusters of candles (we'd recommend battery powered candles so they don't blow out!) and lanterns.
20. This is a great way to highlight the architectural beauty of your church. Work with your florist to create a romantic floral design to hang within your church’s archway.
21. We love this bold church doorway design, which was designed for a Halloween wedding using Autumnal leaves and seasonal blooms.
22. By using potted floral arrangements or small trees, you can easily reuse your wedding décor in your reception venue.
23. A gorgeous church with big, bold doors may not need much to make a statement. Incorporating two simple hanging floral swags is such a beautiful way to welcome guests.
24. We adore this Summer wedding church doorway design, featuring pretty potted hydrangeas, floral and foliage-wrapped handrails, and a half floral arch in tones of purple and blue.
For a fun tropical twist, we are loving this summer wedding installation which features exotic blooms such as Anthurium and foxtail lily alongside gold sprayed fern, Monstera leaf and yellow bunny tail.
26. An overflowing floral entrance installation welcomed guests to this church ceremony, using country garden floral inspiration with roses, stocks, hydrangea and delphiniums.
27. Just how gorgeous is this pink and blue wedding ceremony display? Such a fabulous backdrop for those 'Just Married' photos!
