thats a really interesting question. i’m not sure if there is an actual etiquette regarding the aisle runner as i’ve seen it done both ways. at my wedding the wedding party all walked down the aisle. but at the last two weddings i attended (miss snail and miss butterfly) only the bride walked down the aisle.
i think historically only the bride (and flowergirl) walked down the aisle but today it doesn’t really matter. i think it’s just a matter of personal preference. i’ll see if i can find out more about it, but i think you should do want you feel most comfortable doing. 
as far as decorating the aisle, ushers rolled out the aisle runner, then the petals were sprinkled.
Does anyone know where I can find inexpensive, small sterling (or another white metal…) snowflakes to tie onto the ribbon for my favors? THANKS!
I have ordered tux’s for all the men in our bridal party with the exception of my mother’s husband. The reason is that she married him only a few years ago and he has not really been involved in my life since I was already an adult when they wed. My mother has now taken the liberty of ordering a tux for him without consulting me. I am not sure that I want him in a tux so this leaves me with a dilemma to say something or to let it be? I feel that only my father (who is walking me down the aisle) and my fiancÆ’©’s father should be the only ones wearing them - do you agree or am I trying to be too controlling?
We have finally decided on a honeymoon location…Brazil. The question is, where to go once we get there! As it will be winter while we are there (we will be going in july) we are planning to stay in the northest. Any suggestions of cities, hotels, activities? Thanks!!!
Bee Reader - will anyone else be in a tux?
Alyson - yes my FH and all the groomsmen including my father and my FH’s father will be wearing tux’s.
Beereader,
Well, I say put your foot down. You have avision of the wedding and how you will highlight the extra special people in the wedding and that includes certain people wearing tuxes. Simply say, “mom, if your husband wears a tux then the affair will become too formal and other people will feel out of place” or something like that. It implies that it isn’t appropriate for him to wear the tux and also provides a reasonable explanation for him NOT to wear the tux. Good luck with all that.
Beereader,
Don’t stress over this. If he wants to wear a tux, who cares. It’s a nonessential and I wouldn’t let it bother you. If you think it won’t be a big deal to ask your mom to just have him wear a suit, then do that, but don’t make a big deal over it. Good luck!
I agree with RLJohnson- Not only is it something that could do more damage than good, other guests may be in tuxes as well- I have never heard of a non-black tie event but for the chosen.

Plus, men don’t seem to care as much and I bet the men you have chosen to wear a tux won’t care that another man is
