But I Want Rose Petals on My Aisle

Ok, you’re imaging your wedding. In your mind’s eye, you see yourself dressed and ready to walk down the aisle at your childhood church. You look beautiful in your flowing white gown and you step forward to place your expensively shod foot down on a bed of rose petals covering your aisle….hello….wake up….not happening.

Most churches and indoor venues will not allow real rose petals or any other kind of real petals used on your aisle. Why you ask? Well there are a couple of very good reasons.

First, rose petals can stain carpets, especially the red or black magic petals. Crush one in a carpet and that’s a stain that is not coming out. Well "ha ha" you say, my church has a tile floor so I can have them. I wouldn’t bet on it. Flowers petals, once trampled  have a tendency to become very slick, especially on tile. No venue (or their insurance company) wants to take that chance.



Real Petals are a Good Choice For an Outdoor Ceremony but not Indoors.

Make sure you check your venue’s contract carefully as to what they allow and what they don’t. You don’t want to be disappointed on your wedding day.
