Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can we ensure a mirrored aisle is both safe and photographs beautifully?

A: To prevent slips and harsh glare, we recommend using high-grade, anti-slip acrylic rather than glass and angling the aisle to avoid direct vertical sunlight. This preserves the ethereal reflection of your floral installations while ensuring your photographer captures the moment without unwanted lens flares.

Q: What is the best way to maintain a 'wild' forest aesthetic without compromising walkability?

A: Achieving that enchanted floor look requires a balance of aesthetics and stability; we suggest a hidden wooden sub-path or a reinforced fabric runner covered in thin moss or dense petals. This provides a level foundation for heels while allowing the surrounding flora to appear beautifully untamed.

Q: For seasonal highlights like wisteria or cherry blossoms, how do we handle the unpredictability of nature?

A: Since peak bloom windows are fleeting, we advise collaborating with your floral designer to blend fresh local cuttings with premium, high-end permanent botanicals. This ensures a lush, full-volume look and a consistent color palette regardless of whether the trees have fully cooperated with your specific date.

Q: How do we prevent a candlelit aisle from becoming a safety hazard for guests in formal wear?

A: We always recommend utilizing heavy hurricane glass or enclosed lanterns to shield flames from breezes and protect delicate hemlines. For the most magical impact, have your coordination team light the candles exactly ten minutes before the ceremony begins to ensure a pristine, flickering glow for your entrance.
