Petals on the wedding Isle (GIMME YOUR IDEAS LADIES)

STB Mrs Van Blargan, on July 18, 2010 at 8:15 PM Posted in Planning 0 14

So Im not going to have a flowergirl but I still want petals when I come down the isle??? What should I do? Who should put petals down the isle???? Or should I just put petals down the isle after all the guests arrive and before the mother of the groom walks down the isle??? or when we set up the other decorations????

    Hmm this is a good one I think its nicer when someone puts them there before the bride that way there's the little bit of drama that this is the moment maybe have the last person before you drop them

    If you want it scattered, someone can do it before y'all walk down the aisle.

    But if you want it like, on the edges, it's better to have it done beforehand, with the rest of the decorations being set up...

    Maybe the bridesmaids can scatter a handful of petals each?

    You could have the mothers spread together as they go down the isle. or the BM as they go down. The whole idea is to have them there as you go down the isle.

    I saw a wedding once, no flower girl. What they did was white rose petals lining the edges of the aisle, then they scattered pink rose petals in the middle on the aisle runner all done when setting up the place at the beginning and then closed off the aisle till the WP started entering, everyone walked on it, not just the bride.

    You could have them line the aisle and have ribbion tied across so guest use outer aisles if you have them. Whomever is escorting FMIL down teh aisle unties it . If you want scattered I say let your bridesmaids scatter them.

    Having them set on the sides of the aisles works well. At this wedding, they also used petals to create their monogram:

    You can always have your maid of honor drop petals for you. It doesn't have to be a flower girl! I've also done weddings with a group of 6 "flower women", aunts & other family members who came down the aisle just before the bride.

    A friend of a nother wedding site ran rose petals down the aisles to make the aisle between the chairs, it was very elegant.

    If your not having a flower girl then I would just have them off to the side, your bridesmaids will be carrying their own flowers (i'm guessing) and having someone go down right before you walk would just be wired, put them neatly to the side (and if they are real you don't have to worry about getting your dress dirty)

    We have flower petal runners available and would love to discuss your options. Otherwise, you could have the petals put down before the guests arrive on both sides of the aisle. If you are needing petals, we have them available in over 50 colors!
