Flowers down aisle without a flower girl?

I love the look of flower petals on the church aisle but we are not having a flower girl. I was thinking that if we used an aisle runner down the center of the aisle (that would be pulled out just before I come down it) we could have the petals already placed along the edges of the aisle prior to the ceremony starting... do you think that would work or are there other alternatives that might work better?

I don't see why you couldn't have the petals already lying on the ground. I'm getting married outside and my "aisle" will be in the grass so I'm going to have the petals already tossed around. I don't have a flower girl or ring bearer, and my one bridesmaid is in a wheelchair (but says she's gonna try her crutches the day of) so she will be too busy to toss petals herself. I agree with the idea of seating everyone from the opposite side of the church to avoid disturbing the petals, but I don't really think they would be messed up too much, after all, they are meant to look "messy."





Good luck and congrats on your wedding, I hope its a magical day. :-)
Reply:Your florist should be able to do this for you. Most pictures in magazines and such that do this have the aisle roped off until the bride makes her entrance and guests are seated from the opposite ends so as not to disturb the petals.
Reply:I am doing flowers down my aisle with no flower girl, I don't think there is any problem with that. You could also just lay the petals on the edges of the aisle along the pews or chairs for a great look, also. Or go with your idea, and do a trial run to make sure the flowers lay well after laying down the runner. Either way, I don't think you need a flower girl to have flowers on your aisle!


Good luck!
Reply:You can have some bridesmaids throw some pedals down.... or the ring bearer. I've seen both done and it was very nice and the pedals were down before the bride made her entrance!
Reply:Its your wedding and if you like the look of it then who cares what others think? This is your wedding and not to sound bridezilla-esque its your day, if the above idea sounds perfect to you then that is all that matters.
