Wedding Aisle Decorations
Can Be Beautiful And Affordable

If you do decide that you want aisle decorations, the good news is it’s easy to create beautiful, elegant yet cheap wedding aisle decorations. The main secret is not to go overboard on the flowers as these are likely to be the most expensive part of your decorations. My advice would be to only have a few feature displays and/or maybe some simple flower arrangements as wedding pew decorations.

If you’re careful when choosing your flowers, you will be able to bring these to the reception after the service, reducing your costs further.

Some other simple ideas for wedding aisle decorations are as follows:

• Carpet - many brides want a red or white carpet, but I would suggest that you use whatever is already there. Bringing in a specific carpet will be expensive and provided you complement what's already there no-one will notice it.

  As an example, when I got married our venue had a rough stone floor, but rather than cover it we decorated the walls with candles and tea-lights and hung white voile from the ceiling and it all looked very rustic and beautiful.

• Flower petals - these can look fantastic and they are easily available on-line, either freeze dried or preserved so that they last longer. You should however be careful as the preserved petals can stain and they can be quite expensive if you are hoping to cover the entire aisle.

  If you are going to use them outdoors then you should consider the weather as they could blow away before you get to them. If you are concerned about staining a carpet or your dress you should go for the freeze dried variety, but always check with the supplier whether or not they will stain.



• Candles - these are always a great way of creating an atmosphere, especially if you are in an old or dark church/venue. You should always be careful to check with the venue or church before you order candles or tea-lights (cheaper than candles) as they may require them to be in some sort of protective housing such as tea-light holders (votives) or lanterns.



• Tulle (or Voile) – tulle, along with flowers, is the most popular way of decorating an aisle and for good reason. The tulle will build up the flowers so you can get away with less of them and therefore save some money. Tulle (or voile) can also be used to decorate around the bottom of flower displays on candelabras, at the ends of the pews or to hide P.A. cables and power cables.

As you can see, there is always a way to create cheap wedding aisle decorations that will suit your taste and the venue. If I were to offer one top tip, it would be to keep it simple. It is so easy to get carried away and if you do it takes no time at all for the budget to go out the window. So try to work with what you already have at the venue or church, and ask if you can make use of any decorations they may already have. Chances are they will be happy to!
