Ash Wednesday and the days of Holy Week take precedence over all Solemnities and Feasts.

The Alleluia is not sung or said from the beginning of Lent until the Easter Vigil.
The altar is not decorated with flowers and musical instruments are played only to give necessary support to singing. An exception to this rule is made on the 4th Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday) and for Solemnities and Feasts.
Weddings taking place should refrain from too much pomp and display.
"Prayers over the People" are provided in the Missal. When used, they augment the simple blessing given at the end of Mass.
