What are some LGBT wedding decoration ideas?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For the bridal party

Short answer

Decorate with rainbow flags, bunting or table runners, plus pride-coloured flowers or candles. Use two grooms or two brides on cake toppers and signs. Add a small pride flag to the table plan or guest book. Keep it personal to your story.

Your decorations can celebrate your identity without shouting. Start with a colour scheme that feels like you. Many couples choose rainbow accents, but you can also use the colours of a specific pride flag, such as the lesbian or trans flag. Use these colours in your flowers, napkins, candles or ribbon on the chairs. Bunting in rainbow colours works well indoors or outdoors. For the ceremony, you might have an arch draped in fabric in your chosen colours. At the reception, place small pride flags on each table, or use them in the centrepieces. Cake toppers can show two brides, two grooms, or a couple in any combination. You could also have a sign that says "Two grooms, one love" or "Mrs and Mrs" if that fits you. If you want subtle touches, choose same-sex couple cake toppers, monogrammed napkins with both your initials, or a guest book cover with two rings. Remember that civil ceremonies in England and Wales cannot include religious content, but decorations are fine. For a religious ceremony, check with your place of worship what is allowed. The best decorations reflect your relationship, not a template.
