If you are getting married in a church or chapel, you don’t really have to worry about an aisle, yours is there, it’s ready made it’s probably even immovable.

For more and more brides getting married in other locations like hotels, outside, or on the beach the aisle is something that has to be created, outlined or designed and that can mean more than just the chairs your guests will be sitting on.

Here are a few ideas on how to style up your aisle.

Hire a red or white carpet or better yet, have a personal aisle runner made like this one from Starry Night Designs on Etsy.

or make one yourself! Use your initials, photos, a poem or part of your vows.

This couple asked their guests to write well wishes on theirs.

How about a roll of vintage wallpaper?

Scatter petals {if you are allowed} the whole way up on either side, or create a design

Not allowed petals? Skip em, use autumn leaves or feathers, confetti, pom pom balls.

Line with candles or lanterns. – Make sure the flame is safe!

String with bunting, ribbon, tulle or fairy lights.

Line with potted plants or trees {I’m using a lot of trees these days}

Turn all of the chairs facing the aisle or I love this spiral aisle. Wow.

Getting married on the beach? potted plants or draw the aisle in the sand.

There are so many ways to make that walk to the man you love so, as with everything, have some fun with it and be creative. Make it your own.
