Lenten Altar Desertscape

Because we are getting married on Palm Sunday, we did not know for a long time how the church would be decorated during our service. Jonathon and I met with the priest this weekend at St. Margaret's and because our wedding is only one month and one week away (OH MY GOODNESS, how is that possible?) we were finally able to see the Lenten decorations.

The altar guild decorated the church in what they call "desertscapes" and I think they look very Palm Springs and are very neutral so we could either add some more decoration or just leave it as it is. I am still praying for some floral altar sprays to show up for Palm Sunday that would add something softer up on the altar, but the church is so beautiful as it is that it will be fine. So far the only decorations for the church I have is an aisle runner. You can tell that is definitely a part of the wedding that has not been focused on...

I thought it might be pretty if we draped some fabric between the aisles and then hung succulent wreaths on the pews. Is it way too cactusy and not enough soft romance?

I LOVE the way that looks, and I think we could re-use them for the reception but the last thing I need right now is another project. Maybe I will see if these are for sale on the interwebs...
