Aisle runner for an outdoor ceremony, yes or no?

I would skip it. Most aisle runners are a tripping hazard on a solid surface so on grass...may not be the best of ideas. On the otherhand b/c my ceremony is outside, I haven't really looked very close at the options.

If the ground is soft I'm sure everyone walking down the aisle will make some "dents" in the runner it wouldn't be just you! I personally think runners make it feel more like a wedding and complete the look ..maybe there is something you can lay down under the runner that's a little bit sturdier if you're concerned?

I had an outdoor wedding and didn't use a runner.. I'd heard too many horror stories of people tripping on them because they don't stay flat with people walking down them..

I wouldn't use one. I getting married outside and I'm worried about everything PP already mentioned.

I'm not having one. I bought shepherd hooks with flowers to hang. That's the extent of it.

Tripping hazard. Skip it.

Oh I love the shepherd's hook idea! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

I'm making a flower petal aisle runner for our wedding

I'm doing one for my outdoor wedding. It's burlap though, so it's going to grab onto different bumps in the ground.

Skip it and do petal and shepherds hooks. Don't forget to NOT do stilettos!

We are having an outdoor wedding as well in our front yard; Im doing shepherds hooks with mason jars and flowers. I was thinking of doing an aisle runner as well but I was going to stake it down some how. I'm wearing wedges to avoid sinking.

I'd agree with Danielle, burlap would be a good choice!

You can have an aisle runner at your outdoor wedding & not fear tripping. Take a look at
