Aisle runner for Beach gazebo


Recommended Posts

Did anyone use an aisle runner? i was thinking about using b/c i didn't want the bottom of my dress to get full of sand.. want to use dress for AHR for a little bit to make a change... into the another slinky dress...

 

for those of you that used one, do you think a fabric one is ok? how did it pan out with the sand and rose petals, etc...

I did use an aisle runner but my dress still had sand in it. I did have rose petals scattered over the aisle runner but with the wind, the petals really blew away.

I think that no matter how hard you try, you will end up with some sand on or in your dress. Keep in mind you have to walk on the beach in the sand before you even get to where the aisle & aisle runner would be. Also, if you plan on taking pictures on the beach you will undoubtedly get sandy!

It all really depends on what you want & the look you're trying to achieve. In hindsight, I probably could've done with out the runner!
You definitely don't have to worry about the sand ruining your dress. I didn't have a problem at all.

I had no problem with the aisle runner once I made my way to the aisle. My problem was just walking in the sand itself on the way to the aisle & ceremony site. I wore flip flops but they weren't totally flat, but were kinda wedge like which caused me to be kinda fumbly. I really had to resist the urge to kick them off while I walked.
I definitely suggest flat flip flops, or going barefoot. If you do wear any kind of flip flop with a heel or wedge, I'd definitely practice walking in them on the beach & in the sand a day before the wedding, just to get an idea of what you're in for.

We used one because it looked nice with the whole setup. Sand in, on, up, your dress is a given no matter how hard you may try it's impossible. Don't even make the effort. When I took my dress off that night we had a sand pile in our suite. I thought about changing into another dress. But after trying my dress on for the first time, I didn't want to take it off. Plus after spending all the money on one dress I wanted to wear the heck out of it.

I wore barefoot sandals. We were up in arms about whether or not we shoudl bring rose petals or get an aisle runner. But we said screw it, we opted for the free setup and no aisle runner and it was absolutely fabulous. Some things you can really go without because being on the beach in Jamaica is beautiful in itself, it really doesn't need a whole lot added. And if you are like us, we figured we could use the money spent on that on something we really wanted either in Jamaica or back home.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
