  • The child’s name and Communion date
  • A Communion symbol, such as a chalice with a host

  Best for: Families for whom keepsake photos with godparents are as important as lunch.

These sets are a starting point rather than a fixed price list: we tailor each one to your date, venue, colours and number of guests, and you can combine elements from different sets.

First Communion decoration ideas

• White and green

  White flowers with plenty of greenery suit an alb, the church and any interior, making them the easiest starting point. We can choose lighter or denser greenery, depending on whether you prefer a delicate or more garden-like look.

• Ears of grain and gypsophila

  Ears of grain evoke bread, while gypsophila adds lightness, making them a natural combination for First Communion. They work on the table, beside the altar and on the photo backdrop, including alongside white balloons.

• Gold accents

  Gold in thin ribbons, lettering or a few balloons warms the white palette and photographs beautifully. A little is enough: with gold accents, the flowers can stay simple and white.

• The child’s name at the centre

  The child’s name on the backdrop, entrance board or beside the cake table brings all the decorations together. We can add the Communion date and a short inscription, such as “My First Holy Communion”.

• Communion symbols in one place

  A chalice with a host, grapes, ears of grain or a dove can appear on the photo backdrop or name board. One clear symbol looks calmer than several scattered around the room.

• Flowers matched to the child’s outfit

  Pure white and green look best with a white alb. With an embroidered dress or a suit, we can add one colour from the outfit, such as blue or blush pink. Tell us what your child will wear for Communion and we will match the table and backdrop flowers.

First Communion in May: book your date early

Most parishes hold First Communions on successive Saturdays and Sundays in May, so many families seek decorations for the same weeks. As a result, May dates fill up faster than those in other months.

It is worth getting in touch as soon as the parish announces the Communion date, even if you have not chosen colours. We can finalise flowers, lettering and the backdrop closer to May, once your child’s outfit is decided. If the parents’ committee is ordering church decorations, starting early matters even more, as the proposal also needs agreement from the parish and other parents.

A table at home or a restaurant room

At home, decorations usually centre on one long table and one photo spot, so even a small package makes a big difference. Check how much space remains after the table and chairs are set out: the backdrop needs a place where guests will not obscure it or bump into it.

A restaurant room already has its colours, tables and lighting, so First Communion decorations primarily give it a family feel. Table flowers, the child’s name at the entrance and a backdrop or balloon garland in one visible spot are enough, rather than decorating every corner.

What affects the price of First Communion decorations

The cost depends mainly on the types and quantity of flowers, number of tables, size of the photo backdrop and whether we decorate only the reception or also the church. For the church, its size, the number of pews to decorate and parish rules also matter.

When a parents’ committee orders church decorations for the whole class, we quote once and the committee decides how to share the cost among parents. Home or restaurant reception decorations are quoted separately for each family, according to the package elements you choose.
