Our wedding is at a venue that has this adorable little garden out front that you can do the ceremony in if you like. We love it so, so much. We're trying to keep the decor on the simple side, so we don't really like the idea of doing aisle markers that hang off the chairs or anything like that. Nor can we do flower petals because of the venue's rules (outside MUST be real petals and inside MUST be fake- since we won't know until like day night before if we'll have to move inside, petals are just not happening.)
We thought about marking the sides of the aisle with ribbon. What I mean by this is like, stretching a piece of white ribbon along the edge of the rows of chairs so that each edge of the aisle is clearly marked along the grass. Basically, what lots of people do with the flower petals but with ribbon, like this:
My question is.... how can we "pin" the ribbon into the grass so that it actually stays down and is also not a tripping hazard? Would sewing pins be strong enough if we used enough of them along the edges of the ribbon that there wouldn't be enough space between pins for feet to get underneath and trip/pull out the pins?
