Different ways to decorate your Aisle
As you travel the path towards marital bliss, the aisle becomes more than just a walkway – it transforms into a canvas awaiting the artistry of thoughtful floral arrangements. In this post, we unravel the various possibilities of aisle decorations. Whether you're a discerning couple crafting your perfect day or a fellow florist seeking inspiration, let's explore the diverse options that add a touch of magic to the sacred aisle.
Pew Ends
Starting with the classics, pew ends are the most budget-friendly aisle decorations, beginning at just €45 for a pew end bunch with a charming bow. These versatile arrangements range from simple single flowers to elaborate pew bunches or garlands, essentially resembling miniature flower bouquets.
Pros:
Cost-effective, making them the cheapest aisle decoration.
Customisable from a single flower to pew bunches or garlands
Potential for reuse, adding sustainability to your wedding decor.
Cons:
Minimum purchase requirement of two pew ends for a complete row.
Large quantities may be needed for a substantial impact.
Flowers, being out of water, may wilt, especially on warmer days.
Challenging to attach to various pew styles.
Risk of dragging and detachment in narrow aisles.
Reusing flowers might entail additional labour costs.
Floor Pieces
Stepping up the game, floor pieces offer instant impact, framing the aisle perfectly with prices starting at €80. These modular arrangements can be used sparingly to break up straight angles or combined to create a meadow walk effect. Their versatility shines as they draw attention throughout the venue, especially when paired with an arch.
Pros:
Instant impact and transformative effect on the aisle.
Modular design allows for creative arrangements.
Suitable for both tall and low configurations.
Reusable, adding value beyond a single use.
Long-lasting when placed in water or watery substrate, accommodating more delicate flowers.
Cons:
Higher price point, but fewer pieces needed for impact.
Not suitable for narrower aisles.
Potential for water damage if toppled over.
Not always windproof for outdoor weddings.
Higher chance of catching flowers.
Candles and Lanterns:
Adding a romantic glow, candles and lanterns offer a mesmerizing look to your venue. However, navigating this option requires careful consideration.
Pros:
Creates a romantic and intimate ambiance.
Diverse styles and sizes for versatility are available.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor venues.
Cons:
Potential fire hazard, requiring careful placement or battery-operated option.
Wind sensitivity, impacting outdoor use.
Limited impact in well-lit venues.
Rental cost of real candles could increase greatly due to cleaning fees.
Yesca’s Advice for Narrow Aisles:
Opt for bigger statement pieces at the front and back of the aisle to avoid the risk of dragging and detachment, and no pieces on the aisle itself. This way you are still creating a gorgeous impact and a cohesive look.
In choosing your aisle décor, weigh the pros and cons to find the perfect fit for your vision. Embrace the magic of floristry, crafting an aisle that resonates with the luxury and elegance of your dream wedding.
