Remember to take in consideration the elements of Mother Nature - wind, heat, direct sun, and rain when designing the look of your ceremony. I've seen aisle runners taped down to just be blown like a sail over the gazebo. Morning weddings seem to fair much better because the wind is light, the sun isn't full strength or directly in front of the gazebo. INCONTRAST, the afternoons can be breezy,warm, and in full-direct sun. I recommend laying down any rose petals 10-15 minutes before the ceremony start - (1) to keep them looking fresh & (2) to keep them from blowing away. There is nothing worse than spending your money and time just to have the petals scattered about the grass and not down your aisle.
