Decorating Church

I am in the process of planning my wedding and one of the items I'm getting stumped on is ceremony decor. Our ceremony will only be about 30 minutes, but I still want it to look nice for photos. We are getting married in my fiance's hone church so I have been asking his family about any rules regarding decorations. They have a few rules that are reasonable, like no confetti. However his familu seemed offended I wanted to decorate the church at all and hasn't given me clear answers on who I would need to coordinate with to deliver decor etc. They've just been giving me vague answers like it is a bother to them. Did I commit a faux paux? 🤔

    I don’t think it’s offensive. You might phrase it as just “flowers for the ceremony” or something to make it seem less like you want to totally redo their church and more like you just want to add a few totally normal finishing touches!

    I would probably speak to the church directly. The pastor or whoever at the church should be able to give you direct guidance on what is and is not allowed. Given your prior post about fiancé’s family, I’d probably keep questions to them at a bare minimum.

    I think one of the additional issues here is that his family is part of the church's leadership team, so it's a bit muddled 😩. Good idea to reach out to the pastor for sure.

    That seems odd to make a blanket rejection of wedding decorations. Hopefully it is actually a certain concept they don't like and maybe is not what you are requesting. You could ask if there are specific things that are not compatible with the church. On the other hand, there are some groups that avoid almost all ornamentation.
