Wedding Decor Ideas for a Gym?

Destiera, on May 31, 2019 at 7:55 PM Posted in Planning 0 6
My FH and his family are apart of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and we’re planning on having our wedding within the church since it’s free and we can’t afford much. I’m not Mormon nor plan on transitioning, but we are still able to marry there since it’s not the temple.

I just want to know if anyone else has had their wedding (ceremony/reception) or will be having their wedding within the church and if they have my ideas on what to do with the ceiling in general? I’ve seen ideas of using like gauze to hang to cover it but it looks like it really makes the room seem cramped with everything and that is not the look I’m going for.

Drop ideas if you have any! I want to include fairy lights for the decor and thought maybe stringing those up a bit? But, I still don’t want to make it extravagant and overcrowded if I want to make sure it doesn’t look like a gym.

    Colored uplights are cheap to rent, can dramatically enhance the look, and draw eyes into the space instead of up to the ceiling. We rented them from RentMyWedding (5-star reviews here) for $25 each for cordless ones (free shipping both ways).

    Hanging stuff from the ceiling might not be allowed, ok to rent, but very expensive to pay someone to set-up/take down.

    Grew up Mormon so I know exactly what you're talking about! Here are some photos from friends' receptions in the gym.
    Maybe some good ideas in there.
