An Untouched Ceremony Aisle (Day #29)

I'm big on not allowing wedding guests to walk down the ceremony aisle as they enter the venue.  There isn't a steadfast rule about the aisle, I just find it to set the stage for the wedding party and I feel it should be untouched prior to the start of the ceremony.  And that is especially the case should the aisle runner be pre-laid, if there is elaborate decor or candles positioned down the center aisle.

That is why I will rope off or ribbon off the center aisle and have the hostesses and/or ushers to ask guests to use the side aisles for seating.  Then I will remove the "barrier" just a few moments before the start of the ceremony.  Again, this is just my opinion and please know this entire blog post will be mute if their is no center aisle at the ceremony venue :)
 
Until tomorrow...WEDologize!

...I Found It, You Pin It...Friday!

I find nothing but BEAUTY and GORGEOUSNESS in this all white ceremony!!!  The draping is LUSH!  The aisle decor of low full floral arrangements and floating candles on Lucite columns is FABULOUS!.  And that aisle runner...yes, the monogrammed aisle runner perfectly positioned with a bed of rose petals on each side equals nothing short of a WOW FACTOR moment! Enjoy!

Until next time...PIN IT and WEDologize!
