aisle runners

I'm sure we've all been to one wedding where 2 ushers walk down and they need to pull down the aisle runner... but it pulls away from the front. oops! :)

Some helpful hints:
1. If the floor has carpet, pin the runner to it and then secure it with clear tape
2. Make sure the runner is longer than the length of the walk
3. Make sure the string is pulled out completely [they are relatively long so that the ushers don't have to be on all 4s trying to get the runner through]
4. If the string isn't long enough, snip it off and use ribbon or other string so that it's long enough

Other options to runners:
-Fabric
-Flower petals
