Preppin' le Pew

In between the printing, cutting, and gluing that our semi-DIY invitations require, I have been thinking about ways to spruce up the church for our ceremony.  Most churches are beautiful enough on their own, and don't need much decoration.  We will have two floral arrangements in the front, and I am planning on personalizing a runner to decorate the aisle.  The only thing missing is some pew decorations.

Unfortunately, much like the famous casanova above, most of the ideas for pew decorations that I was able to find were a little too fussy and frou frou, and not at all desirable.

Here are some of the usual suspects:

BOWS:  This is the least expensive and probably easiest option.  The bows can be made ahead of time, or even purchased already made, since there is more than one online retailer selling variations of these for under $10 each.  Unfortunately, I just don't love them.

TULLE: I suppose that this option could work, if we kept it really simple.  Unfortunately, I was informed that hanging tulle off of the pews was a fire hazard, so this option is out.

FLOWERS:  In my opinion, this is the most attractive option.  Unfortunately, flowers also happen to be the most expensive one.  Our budget has really been stretched and flexed in the last couple of weeks, and I really want to keep this project simple.  Also, I won't be able to put the flowers together myself, which of course adds to the expense.

So Hive, I'm at a loss.  Are these my only options for pew decorations?  How are you preppin' your pews?
