I was inspired to revisit this topic after reading a recent article from
The Knot, entitled "4 Ways to Style Your Aisle."
Loyal followers, you may remember the original entry back from 2010. For our newbies, here you go...
Ceremony Aisle POWER
Here are Weddings By Georgia's 5 Ways to Create Ceremony Aisle Style!
1.)
Aisle Runner Alternatives-- So you are not interested in your ushers rolling out the paper runner before you make your way down the aisle? Don't want traditional monogrammed fabric runner, but not sure what else to do? Nor do you want your flower girls throwing petals? Well, that makes us HAPPY...we LOVE throwing in some creativity and uniqueness! Blow your guests away with these beautiful and unique aisles...
2.)
Non-Floral Touches-- add a unique touch by thinking OUTSIDE the box! Tired of seeing the SAME aisle arrangements? WE ARE TOO! Try shells, paper, fabric, lighting/candles, feathers, wooden letters...the possibilities are endless!!!
 |
| Lighting and candles can totally enhance the look and mood of your ceremony! |
 |
| Who knew tissue paper could be used for more than just wrapping presents? |
 |
| Love these painted initials! |
 |
| Lanterns add a great pop of color! |
 |
Going vintage?
Lace, fabric, and brooches make for a unique aisle arrangement! |
 |
| Seashells in a vase. Great on the beach and great for the budget! |
3.)
Pomanders-- a new spin on an old idea! Think pomanders are boring and outdated? THINK AGAIN! Pomanders can be a great way to add some pizazz! Think
bigger,
smaller,
an assortment of
sizes, an
assortment of colors! Even an assortment of materials to match your theme...add sticks and go rustic! Tired of seeing them hanging from chairs?? Have your flower girl carry one!!
 |
| These giant pink pomanders add a pop of color! |
 |
| Tiny green pomanders look great hanging from this ceremony arch! |
 |
| An assortment of different sized pomanders placed down the aisle |
 |
| Add some rope to a classic carnation pomander for a nautical themed wedding! |
 |
| Sticks topped with flowers look great on the beach or at a rustic themed wedding |
 |
| Getting married in December? Have your flower girl carry this eye-catcher! |
4.)
Re-usables-- Want to enhance your aisle, but worried about your budget? These ideas are beautiful and budget friendly! Look for ceremony decor that is already in a vase and can be quickly and easily transported to your reception area!
 |
| These would look beautiful as centerpieces on a feasting table! |
 |
| Re-use something like to enhance a cake table! |
 |
| Mason jar arrangements can easily be reused at rustic wedding! |
 |
| Enhance your sign-in table by reusing these arrangements! |
 |
Re-using should be quick and simple.
Keep this in mind especially if rehanging is required!
(Remember, you only have cocktail HOUR to get this done!) | |
|
5.)
Signage-- this last way to style your aisle creates a great photo op, and can also serve a purpose! Use signs to compliment your theme, while also telling your guests where to go or what's coming up next!
 |
| Great for a beach or nautical theme in Florida! |
 |
Can be used in a vintage or rustic wedding
to tell your guests where to go! |
 |
| Let your guests know its time to stand! |
 |
Signs can be incorporated into your theme
and used throughout your wedding |
 |
Were you two a couple of class clowns?
Use a sign to bring your personalities out
and add some of that humor to your day! |
