I think a small stich would be the best bet. If you used fishing line people probably wouldn't even notice, and it would be nice and sturdy!
My concern with hot glue would be getting a rigid look where the glue is. Stiching could be time consuming... but that's what bridesmaids are for!
I was going to say sew them on using clear fishing line.
That is a time consuming DIY project, but if that's what you're looking for, go for it! (and post pictures when you're done...I'd love to see how it turned out!)
hollybeary... I have the same issue and I have recruited my BMs and we are attaching them with fishing line. We need 75ft of aisle runner so bw the 6 of us, we all get a section and attach.. I am hoping it doesnt take forever but we have to do it too bc our venue doesnt allow "loose" petals either ... Be sure to share photos!! This seems to not be in the DIY bulletins all that much. Good Luck!
this is an interesting topic. i'd like to know how this is done since my venue also won't allow a mess with petals.
I ditto the fishing line but I think the glue gun will be faster and depending on the # of petals, it may look okay.

We have the same restrictions at our venue and the final verdict was the hot glue gun. We took a section of our runner and used fishing line and hot glue gun... and the hot glue worked perfect, it attached very secure and we were able to better place them rather than the fishing line (if you wanted to strategically place them).
I told all my BMs and MOB / MIL to get their glue guns ready and we are going to go to a local church and lay the asile runner out and get to gluing hundreds of petals...I told them all, we have to do what we have to do and everyone agreed.
I even told FI I was going to arm him witha glue gun too !!
I will be sure to post a pic when we are done..
How about fabric glue? As the hot glue will leave marks on the petals most likely!
As you may have noticed, I have a love affair with hot glue. That gets my vote!
i think spray glue would be the most effective.. thats just my opinion. I love the idea!
I would love nothing more than to buy one... but at 350 for just 25 feet... there are not too many brides who can afford that.
I started mine using spray adhesive. It's turning out well I think... Getting the base coats down a section at a time then we'll be going over it again in spots to fill in any holes and to clean up the edges.
It looks good! Keep us updated on how it holds up at the wedding!
@cah111405: Brilliant! Have you walked over it to see if it is secure? What did you use as your runner base? Thank you!
@hollybeary15462: i would use hot glue or fabric glue.. are you putting petals all over or just on the sides of the runner?
@cah111405: I'm also interested in knowing if you have walked on this in heels to test it? You dont want a heel latching on to one of the petals..
@cah111405:what brand of spray glue did you use? where/what type of fabric is the runner? Im interested in taking on this project for my wedding on the beach in Oct.
@blackbee: It was a 3M brand, I just got it at walmart. Worked well but found out through trial and error to wait a bit longer between coats than what is recommended. I don't know what type of fabric the runner was, I debated between different types but just went with one off efavormart cause I got it free with my linen purchase. My wedding was outside and not on a flat hard surface so my heel did go through a few times but it wasn't noticible and nothing stuck to my shoes but I could feel it.
Good Luck and Congratulations!
Hi bees!
I am a bride to be and I am considering doing the same thing for my wedding aisle.
I have a few questions thought and hope the lady that made her own wedding aisle can answer me or anyone else that may know.
I think I am crazy to want to do this now so close to my wedding date - LOL
Where to get the petals from at a good price that look decent?
I am finding that a lot of the aisle runners I come across are 36 inches wide or 3 feet (same thing). Is that wide enough for two people to walk on at once? Seems might narrow to me, especially if the bride is wearing a big dress.
What brand was the spray you used (glue)?
Where to get the aisle runner from?
Did any of you ladies have a problem with the heels going in and getting stock on the grass and/or on the aisle runner?
What's the technique for this? Do I spray the glue on the aisle runner and just throw the petals on or do I strtegically place them?
THANK YOU!!!! :)
There's another bee who did this... Her colors were purple, but I do not remember who se was. I'll see if I can find it. Pretty sure she hot glued them.

Our outdoor venue(at a hotel) doesn't allow real petals, or anything fake that is left on the ground either! So..I want to attach fake petals along the sides of my runner. Anybody do this without going crazy? What methods worked best?
Thanks
