Aisle Runner or a Dirty Dress?

I think you forgot to attach a picture

Id skip the runner if you dont care for it

If you use an aisle runner on grass, it needs to be securely pinned down or it is a tripping hazard. Have you considered using something heavier, like a persian carpet runner?

I am getting married inside, but have absolutely no desire for a aisle runner because of the tripping hazard mentioned by PP. I can only imagine that it would be much worse of a hazard outside.

An aisle runner, to me, belongs in a building. Mixing it with a beach sounds odd. Skip it, girl!

My ceremony and pictures were all outside, we did not have a runner, and I was surprised how not dirty the hem of my dress was at the end of the night. You could definitely see a bit of an ashy hue at the bottom, we walked around a lot on pavement, and the aisle was a stone walkway, but it definitely wasn't black and/or tattered.

I'd be wary of an aisle runner bunching up, and then tripping on it.

The church we married in doesn't allow them because of tripping hazards. They never seem to lay right and honestly I am not a fan of them. I say don't do it. My photographs were all outside and my dress is totally fine.

I'm not having an aisle runner because 1. it would cost an additional $1200 because they'd have to have their preferred vendor do it and that would require setup time for the church and 2. they have a red carpet which would be a nice contrast to my white dress, I think. I say don't get one and getting your dress dirty should be the last thing on your mind on your wedding day!

We didn't care at all about an aisle runner (dancing and your FS standing on your dress will ruin it more). My mom was surprisingly adamant about an aisle runner so we got one on Amazon and just dumped it after the ceremony.
