The moment you’ve been awaiting has finally arrived. The music starts, your guests stand, and suddenly you’re walking down an aisle lined using the people you like most, to face beside your forever love. There’s without a doubt that your grand entrance is among the most special moments of the wedding ceremony. So it’s important that the aisle style is equally as special. I’ve planned countless wedding dresses and also the ceremonies are my personal favorite part. As I prefer to say: “without the ‘I Dos’ we wouldn’t perhaps you have!” I love combing with the archives and remembering every unique ceremony detail, so I thought I would share a number of my favorites to inspire you in creating your personal unique aisle style!
For this garden wedding having a gorgeous ocean backdrop, we paired a clean and classic white aisle runner with white urns filled toward the brim with roses and blue and white hydrangeas. There was additionally a scattering of petals around the aisle that led as much as an elaborate hydrangea floral arch. So elegant, and who doesn’t love hydrangeas?
With a backdrop such as this, you don’t need an arch or altar! For this amazing celebration in Coeur d’Alene, we used individual white rose stems to produce an 80-foot aisle in the center of a lawn overlooking the river. Guests were seated on both sides, facing one another, which made a really wonderful intimate feeling.
We rolled out the red carpet with this incredible fall marriage ceremony – quite literally! Arrangements of red flowers were placed all across the aisle, interspersed with candles, by having an opulent red floral arch because of the central focus. Hanging in the trees above were twinkling lights and crystal chandeliers – absolutely magical because the sun transpired!
This Montecito marriage ceremony was a stunner! We installed a unique oval-shaped garden for that ceremony, individually planting each white flower around the lawn therefore the couple as well as their guests were encompassed by white blooms. Flowers also lined the white aisle, leading up towards the white floral arch. The perfect mixture of modern style and whimsy!
Now, this would be a showstopper! The ceremony design with this destination wedding is unique, having a circular floral arch that was part of a significantly larger geometric dome installation. What a feature! The aisle itself would be a curved, organic shape, lined with white flowers and having a mirrored surface that reflected the sea and sky. The bride said she felt like she was walking on water!
I’ll never get fed up with fresh flowers as aisle décor. For this flower-filled garden wedding, we skipped the aisle runner in support of a more natural grass aisle, lined with gorgeous blooms that flowed up into the square white floral arch. The greenery backdrop created a romantic, secret garden feel.
Speaking of amazing bohemian wedding dresses, it had been all about an enchanted garden feeling with this gorgeous couple! The ceremony happened in a friend’s backyard in Brentwood, having a view from the ocean past the double half-moon arch. The arrangements were loose and organic, adding to the feeling of wild magic and romance.
This was someone to remember! A nighttime ceremony has a lush, tropical greenery backdrop with candles in glass holders punctuating the leaves. Candles also lined the aisle and guests were seated on smoky black ghost chairs. The effect was masculine, modern, and ethereal. It perfectly set the scene for that 1950s Hollywood glamour-style reception in which the grooms, as well as their guests, danced the night time away in fashion.
Which of those aisle-style ideas is the favorite?
