NIGHTMARE!!! (long)

So I finally finished my master's degree yesterday yay for that!!! and then was able to meet with our wedding coordinator at coral ridge presbyterian church. our meeting went well until right before the end when she tells me, oh I think you should know that all of our christmas decor will be up by the day of ur rehearsal the day before the wedding and it can't be removed or covered. when i ask to see the pics of last year...I WANTED TO DIE!!!! This church is gorgeoussss and with their xmas decor it looks like santas enchanted forest!!!! omg i cried yesterday frustrated at this disaster!!! I didn't think they would start decorating soooo soon. I already mailed save the dates and still attempted to change the date but none of my other vendors are available.

I now have to find another place to have the ceremony in the Ft Lauderdale/broward area and don't know what to do!!! =[ I'm sooo torn bc to some it may seem stupid. christms is my fav holiday but i dont want it to look like xmas on my wedding day and in all of my pics. i mean there is garland all over the altar and a huge wreath and start hanging from the beautiful organ =[

if anyone could help me with ideas i would really appreciate it!!! i think any church will have decor in december so we arent looking for that anymore. i really didnt want an outside wedding but dont know of any nice closed area to use.

thank u!

    Does your venue have a place to have the ceremony? I bet you every other church will have xmas decorations by that time :/

    thanks! well my reception is at the josephine s. leiser opera center so if it's there it would have to be outside. i really wanted to have it somewhere other than the same venue as the reception, but if there's no other choice then ill have to do that. sigh =/

    aww that sucks sorry to hear...try other churches though u might get kucky ..my brother got married in dec and there was no xmas decorations...(but it was in miami so thats not helpful)...dont give up maybe u'll find something :) or another idea is find a non demenational church where u can bring whoever u want to marry u.  I dont think they will decorate.

    Well YAY for finishing your masters!!! I'm sorry to hear about the church. Whoa! I don't blame you for not wanting it to look like santa's village exploded on your wedding day. I wish I could help but I have no clue. Good luck!

    I don't know of any non-denominational churches but depending on the number of guests maybe a church chapel. Those don't always get decorated like crazy for Christmas.
