I had my church rehearsal last night at st. Christopher's in Baldwin. It went really well and deacon tony was great. I was absolutely assured when I booked the ceremony a year ago that the church would be decorated for Christmas by the time our wedding came. There were no decorations last night and deacon tony said there is no chance they will have it decorated by the 10th and that they never do. He's not marrying us and being that I was assured it would be decorated he told me to double check today with the 'higher ups' just incase he was mistaken. I'm pretty bummed out because I specifically didn't get any ceremony decorations because of the amazing Christmas display they do.....I'm not going to add decorations at this point because the church is pretty beautiful on its own but learning this really bummed me out. I'll call the church today but I have my doubts.....booooo!

ughhh I'm sorry
Who was the person you spoke to that told you the church would be decorated for christmas? Maybe you can get in touch with them and see what the problem is? I don't know why they wouldn't decorate it, your wedding is only a couple weeks before christmas .
Hope it all works out

Oh I am so sorry. Churches usually decorate pretty early I thought! Maybe you can get a few poinsettias?? usually pretty cheap and look amazing!
