It's hard to help without knowing the nature and extent of the church's decorations. An example:

Right now, my church has wreaths up on the walls/windows, pointsettias on the altar and around the lecturn, and red and white flower arrangements beside the altar. If I were getting married there this week and wanted a different color scheme, I'd ask them to put the flowers in the sacristies for those 2 hours and replace them with my own flower arrangements, but leave the wreaths which are a pain to put up and take down. If I thought pew decorations were helpful, I'd decorate the pews in my colors. If I wanted to drive the color point home, I'd put additional arrangements in areas the church doesn't usually decorate - the tables in the foyer, by the statues of St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin.

Thus much would content me.
