I think it is fair to say that in all of our excitement Mr E and I somewhat overlooked our ceremony room and aisle decor. I can’t say it is a regret, because there is nothing about our day that I regret; however if I had the chance again I might try to look at our space a little more creatively. There are so many utterly gorgeous and fabulously clever ideas out there for creating a stylish aisle and that all important frame or backdrop for your photos, whatever your budget and venue.

So far in this new Aisle Style series I have shared 10 of my favourite ceremony decor ideas and taken a closer look at arches in all of their guises – floral , wood and paper; elaborate, simple and rustic. Today I have what is possibly the most simple and DIY-able idea for you, with 20 of the most gorgeous drape decorated aisles……

…..after all drapes are just 2 (or more) hanging pieces of fabric!

Whether you are getting married indoors or out, looking for bold or neutral…..
