Church decorations for those not having flowers at the church

Who is setting it up for you and when is it being done?

I just called my church and asked if I had the rehearsal the night before can I do it and leave it for the following day. They said no (I didn't realize they had mass on Fri mornings)

So they said I can have the florist do it 1 hour prior to the start time. I'm not having flowers at the church my florist isn't going there. Plus I already have a half hour early on my invites. Think it's a big deal if someone gets there like even earlier than that to decorate.

I am sure I can ask my Aunt's I just feel bad. Plus how do I know that the pew bows/tulle... etc are going to work the day of if I can't do it before hand?

my suggestion would be to do a test one at the Rehearsal & have an aunt or friend that you trust watch you to see how to set it up. you may be surprised just how many people are willing to help out the day of the wedding.

I had my florist do it and I didn't have flowers at the church. If that is not an option for you, you can always ask someone. I'm sure they won't be offended, a sI've done it for people. Also, what do you mean by you are not sure if the bows will work?

I just meant I don't know how I plan on putting them on yet. That's all
