8 Wedding Aisle Décor Ideas for a Walk to Remember [Photos]

Chicago, IL

It’s no surprise that this happy couple would want to linger in the middle of such a stunning floral wedding aisle. We love how crimson petals cover every inch of the ceremonial aisle for a look that’s both dreamy and romantic.

An ombré runner of purple petals adds a gorgeous pop of color to this minimalist wedding ceremony. We also adore how the parallel lines of petals shift with the wind, creating an ever-changing and unique wedding aisle.

This wedding aisle, reminiscent of a childhood Hopscotch game, wows with its criss-cross design of bright pink blooms. We are also swooning over the golden entranceway decked in baby’s breath, purple hydrangeas, and deep-red roses.

Look, while we love pops of color, we also adore this monochromatic wedding ceremony with its petal-strewn aisle, lucite floral stands, and mod white seating. Even the cloudy, pearlescent sky seems to get (and make) the picture in hues of pure white.

Napa, CA

Such a beautiful natural setting doesn’t need much to transform it into the perfect wedding venue. But pillowed seating and scattered rose petals make us want to linger here long after the ceremony ends.

Left to their own devices, plants will lavishly take over any garden. These boxwood arrangements, however, remind us of the power of human artistry. We love how these sleek designs make for unique floral stands (and bring the beauty of the English countryside into this elegant venue).

London, England

We love how this ceremonial space was transformed into an enchanted forest with a lush, grass-like wedding aisle and overhanging branches. The feeling of enchantment continued into the reception as guests found their table assignments on a tree suspended with 3-D, candle-lit paper lanterns.

A grand ornate ballroom springs to life with the addition of fresh greenery. We love how this dramatic and historic setting becomes an unexpectedly perfect backdrop for bright foliage (and spring-like whimsy).

It’s true, green reigns supreme at this enchanting outdoor wedding. We love how, in addition to the natural foliage, potted plants bring a fresh vibrancy to the ceremonial aisle. Sometimes, the best secret gardens are in plain sight.

New Orleans, LA

You see, we love how towering candelabras rise up to meet overarching Spanish Moss. The effect is both dramatic and romantic — not to mention, a scene that’s straight out of a Southern-Gothic novel.  We also love how woven carpets cover the wedding aisle, adding another unique element to this one-of-a-kind ceremony.

This stunning wedding paired tropical glamour with minimalist sophistication. We adore how metallic lanterns graced this all-white wedding aisle.

“All that glitters is not gold” — or so the saying goes. But the gold elements from this glam wedding are in full glittery effect. We love how modern, abstract chandeliers pair with vintage candle pillars for a look that’s both timeless and elegant.

Life is full of twists and turns — and one of our favorite wedding aisle decoration ideas follows that logic. We love how this unique, candlelit wedding aisle unexpectedly bends to the right before reaching the main stage — while also adding a new dimension to this raw, industrial space.

When it comes to wedding aisle décor, don’t be afraid to think outside the box (or in this case, the actual aisle, for that matter). Overarching greenery and globed lighting transform this wedding aisle into an enchanted garden space.

We can’t think of a more romantic walk than a walk down the aisle and roses play a starring role in many of our favorite wedding aisle decoration ideas. So of course, this romantic, rose-patterned wedding aisle has our attention.

We love how this mirrored wedding aisle creates a second (and fourth) floral heart. It (almost) goes without saying: two hearts are better than one. One of the best wedding aisle decoration ideas is to double your décor with reflective elements.
