When the bride begins her procession down the aisle, it’s a moment everyone eagerly anticipates, and it deserves to be framed with stunning floral decor. This carefully chosen adornment not only enhances the beauty of the scene but also ensures that the photos taken during this once-in-a-lifetime moment are absolutely perfect. Elegant aisle flowers contribute to the magic of the day, making the ceremony feel even more special for the couple, their wedding party, and all the guests. At WKF Weddings in St. Louis, Missouri, we’re passionate about offering inspiring advice to help you design the perfect floral runway for your dream wedding aisle.
Give Seats a Flourish with Individual Floral Embellishments
Adding floral designs to the sides and rears of your seating is an excellent way to elevate the aesthetic of your aisle. Opt for small, colorful arrangements that mirror your wedding’s color palette. Monochromatic bouquets, on the other hand, have a chic and polished appearance that ties your décor together effortlessly. For a more minimalist yet elegant look, fresh greenery is a beautiful choice. Flowing vines and lush leaves add texture and a natural elegance, making them ideal for outdoor or garden-inspired ceremonies.
Line the Aisle with Colorful Runners or Arrangements
Placing flower arrangements along the floor on each side of the aisle enhances the beauty of the walkway and makes the path forward clear. This thoughtful design choice draws attention towards the altar, creating a harmonious flow that unites the entire space. You can select low arrangements that sit close to the ground or choose taller ones to add dimension and height. These arrangements also serve the functional purpose of guiding guests’ focus to you when you make your eagerly-anticipated entrance.
Utilize Overhead Space to Complement What’s Below
Taking advantage of any available overhead space in your ceremony venue is a fantastic way to introduce dimension and drama, making the floral elements feel like an all-encompassing experience. Elements like arches, beams, and chandeliers are ideal anchors for cascading floral designs. To create a unified look overall, complement these overhead decorations with aisle runners or ground-level florals below, ensuring the design feels harmonious and well-planned from every perspective.
Let Flower Girls Adorn the Aisle with Fresh Stems
Few moments are as endearing in a wedding as when the charming flower girl and ring bearer perform their ceremonial walk. A lovely idea is to have the flower girl hold a small basket filled with blooms; she can gently hand out small bouquets or scatter petals as she walks, creating a whimsical, organic pattern that ties in with the ceremony’s floral theme. Another charming option is for her to unroll a gorgeous fabric runner with each step, adding sophistication while maintaining that sweet, traditional feel.
Have a Dramatic Arch at the End of the Aisle
One of the most iconic moments of the entire ceremony is when the bride completes her aisle walk, joining her future spouse before the officiant, surrounded by the adoring wedding party. A bountiful, beautifully designed floral arch situated at the end of the aisle will make this emotional moment even more enchanting. The arch can be personalized to suit your style and the wedding’s theme, whether you prefer something classic and timeless, bohemian, or romantic.
At WKF Weddings, we’ll craft an elegant and tasteful aisle that transforms your wedding ceremony into a stunning entrance to your lifelong journey ahead.
