Maps: This globe-trotting couple had the genius idea to line the aisle with rolled up maps from countries they’d traveled to.

Ferns: Accent your ceremony aisle with a pair of potted leafy green ferns.

Painted Geometric Shapes: If your venue allows, paint your wedding pattern or motif directly onto the space that will serve as your aisle. Alternatively, for a non-permanent way to achieve this, you could use a stencil and shake cocoa powder or flour to create the shape.
