An Orthodox Synagogue is much stricter where formal temple procedure are concerned. Among the rules, I think every man has to wear a tefilin, the women have to walk in with their head down and they can not wear obscene clothes in other words no showing of the goods. Absolutely no talking when the Rabbi is chanting, and the women need to keep their head down throughout the ceremony. Additionally, within the synagogue itself, women who are in their menstrual period may not go. Some ceremonies allow only men. A reformed synagogue certainly won't like it if a woman shows up in a thong, but they will not label, oh, a female business dress for example, as "obscene." Given all the sexual harassment suits out there, business attire for women makes it a point to hide curves anymore, nevertheless Orthodox Jews take it to such extremes that just the showing of the calves is considered an obscenity. Additionally, reformed synagogues welcome non-Jewish visitors, in Orthodox synagogues however non-Jews are not allowed.

What is a difference in decoration between church and synagogue?
Instead of having los of statues like in the church they have tapestries and absoluteley no statues at all in the synagogue. Another point that leads away from decoration is that they don't say God in the synagogue. They say G-d or Adoni as the name is too sacred. They also have the difference in readings such as the Bible in the church and the Torah in the synagogue. Hope this helped :D
