What would you use for an aisle runner?

Hi all!

I need help!

I've purchased white fabric on sale and was going to make my own aisle runner. However, while on vacation and speaking with my FI's aunt, she pointed out to me that runners on grass don't usually work out very well... as they could bunch and twist and people usually trip... and I'm a klutz and that would probably happen to me!

Now I'm stuck with 32 ft of white fabric and no idea of what to use for a runner...

also, my ceremony venue doesn't allow petals... and there is a paved area for a ceremony, but it's too small for number of guests so I'm stuck using the garden (which is very lovely) but then back to the aisle runner dilemma

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you can't use fabric and flower petals are out, why not just line the aisle path, rather than covering it. You could line it with luminaries, candles, small potted plants, shephard hooks with hanging vases!

Or maybe cut the fabric in half length wise, and twist it up. Then place the twists on the outside of the aisle. (So technically the aisle would still be grass, and you'd have twisted strips of fabric on the left and right.) You'd have to test it out to see how it would look, but perhaps this would define your aisle, without causing you or your guests to trip!

Have you thought about testing out the fabric on grass theroy? Maybe get some inexpensive fabric and lay it out on a lawn and put on some heals and go to town. And from everything that I have seen at all the weddings I've been in and been to - the guests don't walk on the isle runner - only the bride and her party on the way down and way back. You can always have the ushers roll it out after the guests are seated and then have the same ushers scoop it back up after you and your party have left the area. And if that doesn't work - sell it on ebay!
