    We're having an outside ceremony and for practical reasons will not be having an aisle runner. I know most brides go the rose petal aisle lining route, but I'm hesitant b/c rose petals aren't just really my style. We're having shepherd hooks with some kind of adornment every other row or 2, but I think I would still like something more to make the aisle more defined :). Does anyone have suggestions of things they've seen or done/will be doing themselves? TIA!

    Maybe ribbon looping from chair to chair on the seats bordering the aisle?  Your guests would have to enter each row from the far ends -- and not via the center aisle -- but it'd look so pretty!

    Maybe you can do the Aisle Tiles that everyone is talking about. :)

    I am having an outside wedding too, on the grass, the coordinator told me aisle runner is not a good idea. I would say ribbon on the chairs like bruchetta said or maybe ribbon along the aisle on the floor.

    I don't know how practical it would be, but if the wedding is in the evening, white lights would look really lovely.
