Aisles With Style

What, exactly, are aisle markers? They are the decorative adornment that designate the width of the aisle during the wedding ceremony. They can be big, small, floral or otherwise but, whatever you do –  don’t overlook them since they can add  style and pizazz to an otherwise boring ceremony location or accentuate the existing decor and theme to the max! Aisle markers are the perfect way to bring lush greenery to the ceremony and coordinate them with all ofthe other elements of the wedding.

Make sure you can walk past them, see over and around them and guests can easily get in and out of chairs next to them.

Or, if you decide to go big –  make sure the aisle is wide enough for the piece you are using. A piece like this can be used to make a grand statement 

 

Candlelight is beautiful but, our suggestion is to opt for flameless candles so that guests won’t catch fire when scooting past them.

Stay away from anything too skimpy or it may look like an afterthought.

Whether the theme is merely the color or the type of flower, using that for your aisle markers will bring the whole picture together.

Choose colors that compliment the venue 

You do not have to have something on every single row,  every four to five rows is sufficient.

Lastly, remember to ask your florist if the aisle markers can be used at the reception, and make sure that is priced into your floral package.

Aisle markers have become one of the hottest design elements at weddings in 2012, if you haven’t decided on them… now is the time to do it!
