Your Ceremony Aisle

Many popular sites - gardens, lofts, beaches - don't come with aisles.  Here's how to create one:  Choose a focal point for the vows:  a fireplace, a spreading tree, or gazebo.  Or create one with trellises, a floral arch, even a garden umbrella.  Place rows of chairs facing front to anchor that area, then make a five-foot-wide pathway leading to the chairs.  Try borders of:

Flower filled buckets
Topiaries wrapped in tulle
Small potted palms
Obelisks, urns, or columns
Large seashells
Tiki Torches
Garden stakes with streamers and flowers
