Flamingo Brides - Ceremony extras?

missmo14

Im starting to figure out the 'extras' for my ceremony  for the budget and I am considering hiring the aisle runner for $200, however I dont want it if it is dirty (I remember a post about a different chapel whose aisle runner had marks all over it). If I had the aisle runner I would want to have rose petals but Im not sure whether it is worth it? Im also undecided about the altar sprays ($125 each for basic floral).

Brides who got married / are getting married at the Flamingo West Lawn or Garden Gazebo did you hire the cloth aisle runner? And what other extras did you have for your ceremony floral?

OOOH I'm a Flamingo bride to be haha. I was also stuck on getting the aisle runner, but I seen a wedding setup 2 weeks ago when I was there and it looked good without a runner, plus if you are having a flower girl then she will set out a bunch of petals. I had the same concerns about it being dirty or just not looking the way I would picture it to. I am getting the altar sprays though. the alter sprays are the only extras I am getting aside from the bouquet upgrades for me and my MOH.

I am also a Flamingo Bride (whoot whoot) I am not doing the runner because I didn't want  it to get dirty either.. If you are having a flower girl and she is throwing the flower petals then you don't need the runner because the petals will just cover it anyways..
 Save the money for something else Just a thought !!

Thank you brides. Kristen just sent me some pics of the gazebo chapel without any extras and I kind of like it. What do you think? Too plain?

I'm getting married at the Gazebo Chapel in a few weeks, and I'm not doing anything. No aisle runner, no petals, no altar sprays. To me, it's only going to be 10-15 minutes max and I think it looks beautiful with all the greenery around the gazebo. In fact, it's probably the reason why we chose it since it was simply stunning without anything else.

I thought about making faux flower pomanders to hang on the aisle chairs (and I still might - depends on how much time I have left!), but that's just about it.
