Are You Trying to Figure Out the Length of Your Wedding Ceremony Aisle Runner?
If you’re planning your wedding ceremony, you already know that every detail tells part of your love story, and the ceremony aisle is no exception. The moment you walk toward your forever should feel intentional, beautiful, and seamless. Yet many couples are unsure how long their aisle runner should be. You’re not alone. After guiding countless couples through this exact decision, I created an easy-to-follow chart to help you choose the perfect aisle runner length with confidence.
This helpful chart breaks down the recommended aisle runner lengths based on three common seating options. The three common seating chart options are folding chairs, Chiavari chairs, and church pews. Because each seating style creates a slightly different aisle width and flow, this chart gives you a clear starting point. As you finalize your ceremony layout, you may have to make some adjustments. Whether you’re planning a wedding ceremony in a ballroom, garden, or church, these measurements ensure your aisle feels elegant and well-proportioned.
As you review this easy-to-follow chart, please keep in mind that you should add an additional 5 to 10 feet. You will need this additional length to extend your aisle runner into the church vestibule. This additional length also helps you to create a more dramatic entrance for your wedding processional. This simple adjustment can elevate your ceremony design and enhance your walk down the aisle.
