It is a bride’s worst nightmare – tripping down the aisle. When all eyes are on you, it can be really nerve-wracking to walk to your groom’s side. Here are some tips for walking down the aisle without making a fool of yourself:

Tip #1: Practice! Every aisle is different, and practicing at home just doesn’t compare. Go to the church or hall where your reception will be held and practice a few times.

Tip #2: Don’t choose heels if you’re not used to them. Unless you wear heels regularly, that extra height isn’t worth potential falls, and that’s not to mention the pain you’ll be feeling by the end of the day. If you want to wear heels, but some heels you can wear every day to get ready for your wedding.

Tip #3: Keep in mind that there will be flowers if you opt for a flower girl. It seems silly, but don’t slip on a petal! You may want to instruct your flower girls to sprinkle them along the sides instead of down the middle, where you’ll be walking, or maybe you should just have them carry flowers instead of throw them.

After all of these tips, if you do trip, just smile gracefully, and keep walking. If you don’t look rattled, people will forget it happened by the time you get to the front of the room.  For more tips on walking down the aisle on your big day,check out this article.
