In the past in England, a bride and her bridesmaids would walk to church on a path strewn with flowers. This is a lovely, colorful tradition that can be carried out in the aisle of your church, on the outside steps, or in any meadow or mountaintop on which you may choose to get married.
What is symbolized here is the wish that the bride's path through life be like "a bed of roses" a life of ease and grace. Also, the extravagance of "wasting" the flowers by walking on them symbolizes the wish that life may be so full and easy that the bride and groom may pass through it as tiptoeing on flowers.
