Lesbian Wedding Ceremony Decorations
Let’s start with the main event, your actual wedding ceremony!
Decoration ideas for the ceremony range from over-the-top arches & floral displays to tiny touches that make the day extra special.
Lesbian Wedding Decoration Ideas for the Ceremony
The first five ideas are beautiful ways to incorporate the rainbow symbol into your wedding.
If rainbows aren’t your thing, though, I’ve included some other ideas that symbolize love.
Rainbow Ideas for Your Ceremony
Try just one for a subtle effect or go all-out with a full rainbow wedding and do them all!
1. Rainbow Seats for Your Guests
I absolutely love the idea of turning your seating into a sea of color!
It makes a huge impact as your guests arrive yet takes on a subtler approach once they’re all seated.
You can either rent chairs or DIY it with dining chair seat covers or even just by wrapping the seats in fabric.
2. Rainbow Wedding Party
Your wedding party becomes part of the decor with this idea!
Assign each member a different color of the rainbow for their dress or suit.
At the ceremony, line them up “ROY G BIV” style, with red on the outside and violet ending up right next to each of you (or vice-versa).
Don’t have that many people in your wedding party? That’s fine! Split the rainbow up, with you and your Mrs. in the center.
Amazon has some beautiful dresses in all colors that are totally affordable. The one below comes in every color imaginable!
- FEATURES: The wrap flared party dress with lining features V-Neck, Sleeveless, A-line silhouette，Concealed zipper in the back, multiple styles (Sequin & Velvet & Lace ) for choice.
- OCCASION: The unique v-neck swing dress is great for Club, Evening, Dancing, Dating, Wedding, Club, Banquet, Prom, Casual Outtings, Formal and Daily wear.
- COLLOCATION: The sleeveless flared A-Line dress is perfect to match with high heels or sandal for a party or night out !
3. Rainbow Candles for the Aisle
If you’re looking for something a little subtler, try lining the aisles with flameless rainbow candles.
You could go with real candles, too (I’ve seen it done), but I’d be afraid of setting the wedding party on fire!
- 【RGB COLOR CHANGING】These color led tea lights change through 12 colors automatically in “Multi color” mode, You also can choose your favorite color by Remote Control.
- 【SAFE TO USE】No flames, No smoke, No melted wax,These color led tea lights are Safe for kids, pets and seniors.
- 【MULTI-PURPOSE DECORATION】1.5" D x 2" Prefect Size for All Candle holders; The colored Pillar candles are ideal for accent decorations for holiday celebrations, wedding, party.
4. Rainbow Bouquet for the Brides
How gorgeous is that rainbow bouquet? This is another great idea that you can either buy from a local florist or just DIY.
If it’s a little too bright for you, achieve the same effect with subtler pastel colors.
5. Rainbow Lanterns
Rainbow paper lanterns make super inexpensive lesbian wedding decoration ideas.
Add LED tealights inside for a nighttime wedding, or just hang them from the trees for a daytime ceremony.
- ❤️ SETS CONTENT - Paper lanterns sets come with 16pcs colorful paper lanterns to hang up in your party, you can also insert a mini led light inside the lanterns and it will work perfect (mini led light not included)

Non-Rainbow Lesbian Wedding Decoration Ideas
If rainbows just aren’t your thing, try these ideas!
6. Tulip Bouquet
Tulips symbolize “perfect love,” which makes them fantastic hers and hers wedding ideas!
Go small with a tulip bouquet or all out with a tulip arch (just a head’s up, that’ll get pretty expensive!).
7. Orchid Wedding Arch
Orchids are another great flower choice for your wedding! They symbolize beauty, love and strength.
While a tulip arch can be a little overpowering and expensive, orchids are just right for it.
8. Choose a seat not a side…
A popular decor idea for the ceremony, this sign reads “Choose a seat not a side, we’re all family once the knot is tied.”
If you don’t love the one above, check out dozens more options here.
- Chalk sign measures 8x 10
- Made with high quality Wood and paper construction
- Features a Knotted rope hanger
9. Dove Trees
You kind of have to bear with me on this one because I can’t find a picture that adequately shows what I’m thinking, but the one above is close.
If you’re having an outdoor wedding, try decorating trees with white dove garland.
While most people think of them in terms of religious symbols, they’re actually a sacred animal of the love goddess Aphrodite.
You could also release doves at the end of the ceremony, but I’m not a big fan of that because it just seems kind of mean to the bird.
- 🕊PACKAGE CONTAINS- 4 packs of 3D gold white paper peace doves olive leaf and cross garland streamer,each string is 10 feet/ 4 meters.
- 🕊ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIAL-Our blingbling spring leaf party garland kit are made of double sided high-quality gold metallic paper and glitter white cardstock,carefully hand-made and machine-sewn together with thread.durable and reusable.
- 🕊UNIQUE DESIGN-The classic combination of dove of peace and olive leaf cross with Gorgeous gold and pure white color design,Bling bling shining make the holy atmosphere of your party more perfect.
10. Seashell wedding decor
Another symbol of Venus/Aphrodite, seashells symbolize “protective love,” and make beautiful wedding decorations.
Use them in your bouquets, wedding arches and more.
If you’re landlocked and can’t get the real thing from a beach near you, this is a fantastic assortment.
- A beautiful assortment of various sized shells ranging from conchas to teeny tiny micro shells that compliment any design scheme with its warm neutral orange, pinks, brown and grey color tones. Fill your favorite beach buckets, beach toys. Spread a few tiny starfish and seashells with grains of beach sand in a fishtank. Make a soothing under the sea theme by using them for fish tank decorations and designing a miniature reproduction garden beach scene.
- String them to make jewelry or affix these mini conchs to surfaces for crafty borders! Nice for making shell mirrors, seashell ornaments, shell wreaths and add a colorful accent to a basket of beach shells. Make cute adornments on a sand castle with various types of faux pearls and sail boat decor.
- Hawaiian accessories pair well with these nautical theme birthday party. Use as a table scatter for a beach party, as party favors. Make beautiful vibrant decorations for the home living room, dining table, bedrooms, art gallery, luau party, restaurant decor and more.
Reception Decorations for your Hers & Hers Wedding
Let’s head to the reception, my favorite part!
Don’t get me wrong, the ceremony is beautiful and all, but you can really go all out with reception decorations!
We’ll break this up into two sections: general decor and then some great centerpieces.
11.Rainbow Macaroons
You could go all out with a rainbow wedding cake, but if you prefer a subtler idea I love these macaroons!
Side note, I just learned the difference between macarons and macaroons. The above are actually the latter.
12. Wedding Wish Jar
I love this alternative to a guest book! Ask your guests to write down their wish for you.
Then, after the honeymoon, you and your Mrs. can sit down together and read them all!
- THOUGHTFUL & PERSONALIZED TOUCH Give the personal gift of well wishes & thoughtful words of wisdom to newlyweds with a Top Shelf Wedding Wish Jar

These make fabulous DIY wedding favors as well as great table decor! Check out this tutorial to make your own.
14. Rainbow Tablescapes
Another idea that can be as subtle or fancy as you want, rainbow tablescapes look beautiful at your reception.
Use inexpensive bud vases and fill them with water, then drop in some food coloring for a DIY decor idea that won’t bust your budget.
15. Rainbow Smoke Grenades
At the end of the reception, let your guests give you a beautiful sendoff with these fun rainbow smoke grenades!
I have an irrational fear of sparklers, so I really love these as alternatives to the “burning sticks of fiery doom.” Told you it was irrational.

Lesbian Wedding Decorations: Centerpieces
As the name implies, centerpieces take center stage on your tables so they really need to shine!
Don’t worry, though! That doesn’t mean they have to be expensive or over-the-top! Check out a mix of ideas below.
16. Rainbow Roses
For major wow factor, try rainbow roses as your centerpiece. A single one in a bud vase is just as gorgeous as a bouquet of them at each table.
If you can’t find a florist in your area that has them and don’t feel like you can DIY them, you can buy artificial versions on Amazon.
- 90% Eco-friendly Satin Silk ,10% Plastic
- Flower Total approximately length: 20inch flower head diameter:approximately 3-3.5inch
- Pack of 15 pcs,(Note: roses come individually not as a bunch. These roses are hand made please understand that the size may vary slightly)
17. Maple Leaf Centerpiece
If you’re planning a fall wedding and aren’t really into the rainbow theme, maple leafs make beautiful centerpieces.
Did you know that they’re a symbol of love? True story!
18. Cakes as a Centerpiece
When I was looking at hers and hers wedding ideas, I came across so many cute wedding cakes that I thought it was sad you had to pick just one.
But wait, do you? Why not have multiple smaller cakes and use them as centerpieces?
Either choose different flavors for the “guts” of the cake and decorate them all the same on the outside, or go eclectic with totally different cakes at each table.
You can pull the eclectic look together by using the same cake topper for each one. I like this one:
- 🎉 TRANSFORM A CAKE INTO A CLASSY ONE - Add a touch of something specical Cake Topper as the finishing touch to your beautiful cake. It’s the perfect way to help celebrate the atmosphere into the wedding/birthday party.
- 🎉 GET COMPLIMENTS ON YOUR CAKE - No cake is complete without a topper to mark the occasion. Whether you have a lavishly decorated cake or a simple one, this topper will be guaranteed to get everybody jealous!
- 🎉 GREAT PROP FOR ‘CAKE SMASH’ PHOTO SHOOT - Many of us wish we had cake smash parties in our day! Well now, just experience it with your friends get some amazing photos to prove how much fun it is!
19. Fiber Optic Lights
Fiber optic color-changing lights are gorgeous centerpieces for a nighttime wedding outside.
Set them to change to all of the colors of the rainbow or just to your wedding colors.
- INCLUDES: Twelve Centerpieces with Sleek Silver Bases, Fiber Optic Sprays & Multicolor LED Lights
- EASY TO USE: Press a Button to Switch Between 7 Steady Light Functions or Slow Color Change
- VERSATILE PARTY DECORATIONS: Perfect for Weddings, Birthdays, Dinner Parties, Banquets & More
20. Rainbow Mason Jars
You can take a couple of different approaches with rainbow mason jars.
For example:
- Get plain jars and use rainbow tealights inside
- Line them with tissue paper and use regular lights
- Fill smaller ones with different colored water and tier them on a table
Basically, anything goes with this super inexpensive centerpiece idea!

FAQs
How to decorate a wedding for cheap?
You don’t need to spend a lot of money for your wedding day or even empty out your bank account for your decorations. This is because there are plenty of ways you can decorate your wedding venue on a budget.
Some ideas include using DIY wedding decoration, using items from your home, and even renting out items for your decoration. These things will greatly reduce your wedding decoration costs.
What are the top 3 costs for a wedding?
The most expensive costs in a wedding are the reception venue (sometimes without food), engagement ring, and reception band.
Of course, there are some factors that affect the cost of these three things so it will depend on which ones you pay for the most.
What is a realistic budget for a wedding?
The average cost of a wedding would be roughly around $30,000, according to The Knot’s 2022 Wedding Spend. This amount, however, will depend on the number of guests you’ll have for at your wedding, the location, number of vendors, and time of year. There are even some states (Philadelphia and Washington, DC) where weddings can cost $40,000 for an average wedding ceremony and reception.
What is unnecessary for a wedding?
It actually depends on the priorities of the couple. While there are some who think having a photo booth is unnecessary, there are couples who believe this is the best part of the reception and would gladly spend money to hire the best providers in town.
But if you’re on a budget and would like to save on your wedding costs, an elaborate wedding invitation is not something you should splurge on. Instead, you can prepare a handful of elaborately designed and printed wedding invitations to give out to the VIPs of your wedding. As for the rest of the guests, an online invitation would suffice.
