WEDDING AISLE

The wedding aisle is what sets the mood for the ceremony. It is the first thing anyone at the wedding sees and it is what you will see in all of the ceremony photos.


Beach Wedding Aisle
Create an aisle on the beach by putting tropical plants on both sides. Face the chairs towards the water for a nice view. Create an alter with a small garden trestle covered in exotic plants. Make sure you know when high and low tide are.


Church Wedding Aisle
Weddings inside have many options. Lay out a runner on the floor to create a look that matches your color palette. Make sure it is a non-slip runner. Add draped fabric and floral arrangements to the pews that match your centerpieces at the reception.


Indoor Venue Wedding Aisle
At an indoor venue it is easy to dress up your surroundings. Large over the top floral arrangements can make quite the statement. Just make sure they don't block anyone's view.


Outdoor Venue Wedding Aisle
Outdoor venues require a little more work to set the mood. Sprinkling rose petals on either side of the aisle is beautiful and adding lanterns to the aisle can set the tone.


Pathway Wedding Aisle
If your wedding aisle consists of a brick or stone pathway, don't be afraid to dress it up. Use little candle treatments on each side for a sophisticated and expensive look even though they won't cost too much.


Woods Wedding Aisle
If you are getting married out in nature, then feel free to create your own whimsical aisle. This may not be the most practical aisle but it sure is the prettiest. Be sure to lay out the petals last minute and that no one walks down it before you do. Add more for a denser look.

FALL WEDDING

Planning your wedding based on the season is a great way to come up with a theme and color story. If you are having your wedding in the fall then opt for reds, oranges, and yellows for a warm vibrant wedding.

WEDDING HAIRSTYLES FOR THE BRIDE

Short Hair- Down
If you have short hair, you can wear it down with a flower or pretty hair band. Veils can be overwhelming with short hair and take away from your face.

Short Hair- Up Do
For those who have short hair and want to have an up do, go with something simple and sweet. Loose romantic curls are great for short hair. Stay clear of tight curls or you will look like Shirley Temple. Straightening hair and keeping a clean finished look is another great option.

Shoulder Length- Down
If you have shoulder length hair try a light wave or loose curls. You can match this with a veil, fancy hair clips, or a small tiara.

Shoulder Length- Up Do
When pulling up shoulder length hair, loosely curl the hair and use bobby pins to tuck the curls into each other. The loose curls give a full look and the appearance of longer hair.

Long Hair- Down
With long hair, you can be as simple or complicated as you want. Go for a simple wave for a pleasant natural look. A great way to wear your hair down without having it in your face is to pull back the top pieces. Curl the bottom with a large curling iron and use a loose hairspray so it does not look to stiff.

Long Hair- Up Do
For a chic smooth look, straighten the top and pull it into a ponytail. Then, use a large round brush and blow dryer to shape the bottom. Wrap it into a clean bun. Add a flower or hairpiece to make a statement.


Extra Long Hair- Down
For a simple natural look, curl your hair with a large curling iron. Shake out the hair to loosen the curls and use a light hairspray. Pull a few pieces back to add volume to the top of the hair.


Extra Long Hair- Up Do
Try a loose braid for a high fashion look. Braiding in ribbon or flowers adds a sophisticated and expensive feeling.
