Flags & Swags in Heraldic Tradition

Consider decorating your ceremony site with flags, banners or streamers. There are lots of fabrics to choose from - from sheer, airy organzas to rich brocades. They can be constructed in a variety of ways to meet your ceremony needs.

How about a regal tent comprised of four poles with a fabric ceiling that hangs low in the middle? It can even be carried in as part of the processional. Or consider a set of coordinating flags on graduated poles to frame the ceremony site. Picture flags in your wedding colors and bearing your new monogram blowing softly in the breeze as you say your vows. Think creatively about using fabric and you're sure to discover a unique and inexpensive way to create drama and personal style outdoors.
