Use colorful yarn pom-poms as aisle decor

Remember Kimber and Kaylee’s super colorful and boho chic wedding? It’s always so worth revisiting, especially for the decor. One tiny detail that we loved (which you could totally DIY) is the yarn pom-pom aisle decor.

A processional is an important element of any wedding ceremony. We’re creating a special moment that separates the mundane, everyday life from the extraordinary, ceremonial moment of your wedding. I’m going to talk through a fairly traditional processional. Although I’ll be using the terms “bride” and “groom,” this doesn’t mean that ANY of these positions and traditions can’t be used by anyone in any way they want…
