How to Incorporate Pretty Flower Petals into Your Aisle Runner

If your wedding ceremony is outdoors, be mindful of wind – one breeze and your hard work could be scattered. Speak with your florist or wedding planner about how to keep petals from flying away. For a more affordable option than fresh petals (or if your indoor venue doesn't allow them), consider using silk petals.

To see how real brides and grooms adorned their aisle with flower petals, take a look at the inspiration below. For more beautiful photos from real wedding ceremonies, visit our image gallery.

Shapes & Patterns
Use flower petals to form graceful swirling patterns down the aisle. 

Sand Art
Highlight the aisle at a beach wedding, without laying down a fabric runner guests may trip on, by sprinkling flower petals directly on the sand. 

Awesome Ombré
Can't get enough ombré? Your aisle is a creative place to show off the gorgeous trend! Lay petals in increasingly dark (or light) shades down the aisle to add drama to your walk to the altar. 

Floral Carpet
Cover a fabric aisle runner with a lush carpet of petals for a luxurious, romantic entrance.

Indoor Garden
Even if you're tying the knot indoors, you can still line your aisle with petals! To make the flowers pop, lay a white fabric runner over the flooring and place petals on top.
