Please speak to the clergy person about any variations from the text of the service. Altar flowers must be real. They are placed to the glory of God, and are a gift to the Church. Other standards may be arranged through any florist. They may be placed in the Church at the discretion of the Clergy as to location and numbers.
Flowers can be very expensive.
It is worth noting that they are by no means necessary. We therefore ask that it not be used on the church premises. Photographs are thus not permitted during the service. We are delighted, however, to have the wedding party come back into the church immediately after the service, and pose any shots they wish. The fee for Weddings at Christ Church includes Altar Flowers, The Organist and use of the Church.
