Potpourri instead of petals for aisle?

That sounds really stinky to be honest. I wouldn't do that.

I'm super sensitive to flowery scents and potpourri is really strong.

Stick to the confetti

Too smelly

You may want to ask someone at your venue if they recommend lining your aisle with loose objects like potpourri. I originally wanted to line the aisle at our outdoor venue with rose petals and both my florist and venue's wedding planner told me it hadn't gone well in the past at the venue. It would get windy and the petals would end up everywhere. I imagine the same would happen with potpourri outside.

I agree. The smell could be a major issue. And is that even allowed by your venue? The things in typical potpourri would take years to break down.

I agree with PPs. The smell of potpourri triggers migraines for me.

Dead, dried, withered flowers don't exactly scream "wedding"

Why can't you do silk? I wouldn't be a fan of smelling potpourri at a wedding. It would be a wtf moment for me

The venue part we don't have to worry about, but I can see where the scent could be a problem. For as much as I bought, it doesn't really smell. I think it's pretty old. I'll stick with the confetti. Thanks for the responses!

Eh, "dead, dried, withered flowers" lining the aisle of an outdoor fall ceremony... wouldn't get a second thought from someone like me. Scent yes.

No and will make the area smell wonderful

Some people might start sneezing. Lol I think just confetti

I get migraines from potpourri. Many people are sensitive to strong smells. My florist gave me free petals as part of my flower package. Check with the florist.

I am with the PP that it is too smelly.
