We are having an outdoor wedding, and I've been debating on getting an aisle runner. Since it is outdoors, my thinking is that a full aisle runner might be dangerous on uneven ground, so I was considering the two separate aisle liners. The trouble I'm having is swallowing the cost on this. I found a great one that I really like on ebay, in our wedding colors, for about $45 including shipping.
So I guess my question is, how important was it to dress up the ceremony space ? Is this something that would be missed, or look tacky without ?
I am currently planning on having paper cones with rose petals/bio-degradable confetti on the chairs that line the aisle, so it wont be completely bare.
Thoughts ?
