I'm not using a runner for my outdoor ceremony just lining the aisle with petals. I just wanted to say omg those hot pink heels are so freaking cute!
Maybe there is something harder under it. I can't imagine there not being any indent marks in it. It's not even wrinkled!
If you only have grass, I would not suggest using a runner.... I was told by my venue that they "never work out well" meaning that they'll bunch under your feet and make it potentially diffucult to walk on, especially with a train (risking the runner being caught under the train)
There more and more I look at it, the more I believe they have something hard under it. I have been to a few outdoor weddings were the runner looks terrible before the bride even steps on it. Even wearing heels on dry grass is a challenge. You still sink it. Those heels in that photo are pretty thin and spikey! I would imagine the runner bunching up under them.
@Miss Tattoo: That's what I'm thinking. The girl's wedding planner also owns the venue (and charges $6,500 for her services), so I have a feeling they did something extra.
I just went and found this shot from during the bride's ceremony (by the way, she was on Say Yes to the Dress!). Looks like the runner did shift a bit...
I'm having an outdoor ceremony in the UK (not many venues, but there's one in my hometown!) and they put a runner down, so this was one of my concerns. I think it probably all depends on the material of the runner. Something light will probably shift, but the runner my venue uses is made of white canvas, so it's quite heavy.
Good luck and have a lovely day, I still have 2 and a half years to wait yet thanks to money!

I agree with the PPs. Looks like plywood under the runner to add stability. If that's an option for you I would have a runner...if not I'd skip it.
I used a thick white carpet cut aisle size. It looked fab and was easy to walk on. No wrinkles and cheaper than plywood.
@PutABirdOnIt: That sounds really interesting. Do you have a picture? I think I'm going to be walking on grass too.
My venue did not recommend a runner due to it blowing around. If you use one, there will definitely have to be support under it and something to keep it down
Oh, and those poor bridesmaids. My feet hurt just looking at those photos!
Im not having a runner either, I dont wanna trip or anything on it. Im just having decorations beside every aisle chair.
I'm having a white aisle runner. It is an outside garden wedding, but the meaning of the white aisle runner is really important to us.
It means that the wedding is on Holy ground, and the relationship founded on it is grounded in God's Word.
I love the suggestions for making it work. :)
I'll probably do the white canvas with something to weigh it down.
@LadySapphire: In the religion that I grew up in, it wasn't a religious ceremony unless it was physically inside the church, so an aisle runner at an outdoor wedding doesn't symbolize anything to me.
I always wondered why other churches that were seemingly more strict weren't adament about wedding ceremonies being done inside the church. I guess they are the ones that see the aisle runner as a symbol.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I've seen comments on the Bee saying aisle runners and grass do not mix. However, these pictures of a wedding at my venue have me thinking there's a way.
The runner being used is definitely fabric. However in the close up picture of the feet below, it looks so sturdy.
Who else has had a runner on grass? How did it work out?
