Vendor guidance

Flowers and Décor

A few clear rules preserve the sanctuary and keep wedding-day preparation calm.

01

Check in with the wedding team upon arrival.

02

Deliver personal florals to the hotel or preparation room, not the chapel vestibule.

03

Set-up begins 30 minutes before the wedding; altar flowers must be in place 25 minutes before.

04

Flowers may be placed only at either side of the tabernacle, never on the altar.

05

Aisle decorations, pew clips, runners, and papier-mâché are not permitted.

06

Only chapel candles may be used. A unity candle may be placed on the stand provided, never on the altar.

07

Flower petals, rice, birdseed, confetti, balloons, doves, butterflies, and sparklers are not permitted.

08

Bubbles or ribbon wands may be used at the exit.

Concluding the liturgy

Please refrain from rice, birdseed, confetti, flower petals, balloons, doves, butterflies, and sparklers. Bubbles or ribbon wands may be used as you leave. Alcohol is not permitted on the grounds. Reserve toasts for the reception.
