Alter Decorations

We have our wedding ceremony in an old church that was transformed into a nightclub.
just the ceremony.

We need ideas of what to decorate with.

We already know that we do not want a bow, so we have two big candle stands on either side to frame the "edit".

We do not want balloons or anything that would look cheap.
Our theme is once until death do us part.
Our colors are red and dark purple with lavender and regularity of red accents.

This site has simple ideas:
