Do you know if its tradition or a superstition that says guets shouldn't walk down the aisle?

My florist told me this, i really only think its an issue if you have some kind of flower petal design on the isle or a runner that you dont want to get messed up!

I've never heard of this. Usually the aisle runner is pulled down right before you come down the aisle.

I've never heard that one. I say it's superstition. I've been to several Church and Non-Church weddings and have never seen that done.

Hmmm okay. This is good to know. I have to find out from my venue when exactly the aisle runner is placed. I love these questions I'm getting now and writing down, I meet with my venue coordinator soon and that is something I will need to know! LOL

I have always wondered this myself. I feel like I heard it once before that you aren't supposed to...but have also seen it done several different ways. I'm kind of with you on the tulle idea though.

I have seen aisle blocked off from the middle before. Usually because there are flower petals lining the aisle, or candles, or something else that doesn't need to get trampled or knocked over. However, I've never heard of blocking it off if there isn't any aisle decoration to protect.

Never heard of this or seen it done! Most of the ushers usually lead guests down the aisle and I've lived in three very different states and haven't seen it done for any type of wedding. I've seen where a very ornate flower petal arrangement has been brought in and they block off the aisle for guests so they don't trample it before the start of the wedding.

My church only has one aisle down the center, so all guests walked right down

Wut?

Are you asking out of curiosity's sake? Or are you afraid something will happen.

Today i heard that I am not allowed to walk down the aisle the day of the rehearsal because its bad luck? i havent heard that one before either, wonder if its any truth to it

I have never been to a wedding where no guests walked down the aisle. The groomsmen or ushers always usher the guests down the aisle (not a requirement, just what I've seen) and then seat them according to whom they know. Near the time when parents will be walked down the aisle, that's when I usually see guests only allowed to go around the outside. Again, I think it's just your preference. And Celia's right, if you're doing an aisle runner, the groomsmen/other attendants unroll that just before the flower girl and bride come down.

It's not a Catholic thing. I wanted to put some garland on the inside of the aisle and my church said no because it's a tripping hazard. But then if you look at Catholic wedding ceremonies in their basic form (not influenced by our superstitions) it's odd. Normally there's not supposed to be a bridal party, and the bride and groom walk down the aisle together.

Not saying if you do that you're weird and that you wedding isn't good enough and all, it's just different than what we're used to.

I grew up with this tradition. It's more of a southern tradition and mostly honored in churches.
