Floral Decor Dr. Jim DelPrince, a floral designer with MSU's Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, recommended ways to use flowers to add some drama to an already decorated church or cathedral. Lily of the Valley and Stephanotis are two simple but elegant selections. To enhance the festive look in an already decorated church, add flowered branches such as pussywillow. Six feet of branches hanging on a pedestal can make it seem nine feet tall, DelPrince said. Traditional flowers like poinsettias are often used.
