Are Pew Bows really necessary?

I haven't bought them yet and am starting to think that maybe I don't need them at all. What do you all think about not having pew bows at all?

Becky, I don't think so. It really all depends on your taste.
I thought I could MAKE mine, but didnt try them till the week before the wedding.
Needless to say, they were a disaster and I went without. Nobody even asked about them. I had these cool pew candles tho'.

Here's a pic of the inside of the Church:

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

honestly, we don't plan on having them. i just don't like the look of them - JMO! i don't think they are by any means necessary, just personal taste.

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

My mom and her friends (a craft making group of ladies) have made the pew bows for all the ladies' children's weddings (I think 4 weddings so far). Mine will be made for me and even though I am indifferent about them, I know the ladies are excited, so I am letting them do it.

I dont think that I am going to have them. I am not to keen on them.

I used them but they aren't necessary.

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

How many rows do you normally do?

jennbaby Posted: Jun 17, 2003 09:30 AM

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

I did the 1st 3 on each side to signify where family should sit

Actually my florist took care of this for me!

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

I will be having 6 bows on each side. I actually did these INSTEAD of floral arrangements

I don't think you necessarily NEED them, especially if you are having some kind of alter flowers.

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

I am not going to be using them. I want to have tulle with a single rose on the pews. I am going to have this on the first three rows on each side and then every other row.

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

I am also not having bows. Instead I am doing bouquets of orchids on each pew.

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

I am.. I have 2 alter peices and 2 really big floral peices on the first 2 and back two pews.. on the rest of the pews I'm having ivory colored satin and tulle bows on the rest..

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

I have them included in my florist contract but I want to do those buckets that sit flush against the pews with flowers in them. Does anybody have a clue on how to go about doing this? Is it a lot of $$$$ to have the florist do it or should I try to get the buckets myself & just have the florist provide the flowers?something like this:

Liz, I love the candles! Great idea!

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

I had them but didn't even see them I had to see a picture to know they were there. I wouldn't spend a lot on them.

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

I think Liz's curch is like that all the time.

It is pretty!

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

it's not necessary but can be a nice touch. I liked how ours came out - hard to see in pic but it was seeded eaucalyptus with burgandy ribbon.

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

Liz - I had isle candles too! I loved them, and thought they were a beautiful touch to the ceremony.

LisaT Posted: Jun 17, 2003 08:27 PM

Re: Are Pew Bows really necessary?

they certainly are not necessary, but a nice added touch. I think we did ever other row for the first 10-12 rows (we had a total of 10-12 bows).

I would have loved to have candles, but wasn't an option in our church.
