Walking down aisle with stairs

Amanda, on August 19, 2016 at 11:28 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

Has anyone ever walked down an aisle with stairs? My wedding dress is kinda long and I'm super scared of tripping down the stairs. Does anyone have any advice so I don't fall in front of all my guests?

    I have a whole staircase to walk down as I'm getting married in a private residence. I'm just as worried. My heels are HIGH. No train on the dress though

    Kick-step.... kick your dress out a little as you step so you won't step on it. Practice so you don't look like a show dancer.

    The aisle I'm walking down doesn't have stairs, but it's a really really long walk to the alter!! My heels are 4" and I don't normally wear heels. At least if I fall, I'll be too embarrassed to cry lol.

    I think you should consider wearing flats instead of heels. That is scary! I would be nervous and definitely would not wear heels.

    If you'll have an escort, can s/he walk beside you down the stairs?

    There is a venue here with an outside staircase that is too narrow for anyone to walk beside the bride, so her escort walks a few steps ahead or waits at the bottom of the stairs.

    This is the second half of the stairs that's the start of my aisle.. I'm thinking the same! I'm trying not to worry about that yet since I have a ways to go. I think it should be fine though as long as you don't rush
