It’s 2016, most brides want a little bit more than an aisle runner to decorate the biggest moment of their special day. The aisle and the altar are the two spots of a ceremony that make it into almost every picture. It’s about time to start spicing up the aisle for an even more romantic day. Here are six ways that you can spruce up your aisle that leads to your prince in shining armor!

1. LED Candles

LED candles give off that same glow without bringing a fire hazard. Many venues do not allow open flame, so if you had plans for candles, LED candles are a happy alternative. Many of these candles are battery powered, so you can keep them after the wedding and use them at home. They also make good gifts, if you wish to give them a new home.

2. Flower Petals

Lining your aisle with flower petals can be done with real or fake petals. This is a simple yet romantic way to add a little something to your aisle. Also, if your dress moves some of the petals, it won’t look weird because there is no set pattern to the petals. Flower petals are also an easy setup.

3. Lanterns
