I need a runner for a curved walkway

beejone76 · April 2010

My Brother has re-done his backyard for my wedding. It looks great and I'm so appreciative, they have put a lot of hard work, time and money into this for me. I now don't know what to do about a runner. I need some ideas for a runner that we can lay out in any position. About 100 ft.... HELP!!!

Do you need a runner? Since it sounds like it's outside can you just line it with flower petals? I've seen some lovely designs made with rose petals (think swirls and diamonds and such).

I wouldn't bother with the runner. I rarely see them anywhere and I'm not sure I've ever seen one outside. If you want to set the aisle off in some way, I'd go with flower petals or you can use something to line the edges (flower pots for example).

He did not use pavers, it's a Decomposed granite, it looks like clean dirt.. it's not tamped down but it's still dirt or decomposed granite...

Having no clue what decomposed granite was, I quickly googled it. It doesn't look bad at all. But if it's not packed hard enough, I would be concerned about you sinking in. If you sink in, a runner will only make it worse because your heels would also be clinging to the runner. Just a thought. I'd follow the other a ladies' advice and go for flowers and other things lining the walkway, especially because it's curved.

Here a couple of alternatives to runners for outside weddings:

You could contact www.customizedweddingcreations.com and see if they have anything that would work.

We bought my daughter's 100 ft. aisle runner (straight) and were extremely happy with the runner and also the service from the company.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll let you all know what I end up with... Good luck all...
