I had never heard of these, but they were brought to my attention while planning my wedding and I fell in love with this wedding decoration idea. Aisle runners are usually pretty standard and most brides usually rent one from a wedding supply vendor; which is perfectly fine. However, I wanted something more personalized … more unique. Little did I know you can have custom aisle runners made!
When you have a custom aisle runner made, you have so many options in creating making the runner exactly what you want. When designing the runner the bride and groom get to choose the fabric or multiple fabrics, the embroidery, the length and any details you might want added. Keep in mind that every wedding venue is different and you will need to determine what length will work for your venue.
Many couples chose to have their initials embroidered at the beginning of the runner which is beautiful when pictures are being taken from the back of the chapel. Others chose simpler styles with no embroidery; just detailed fabric that complimented the colors of the wedding décor. Depending on the design of the custom runner, embellishments can be added along each side of the runner adding to the elegance. Using a decorative and luxurious aisle runners adds to the beauty of other wedding decorations as well.
When the ceremony is over, you don’t have to box it up in the attic never to see again. Many new couples frame the piece of the runner containing initials to make a marvelous keepsake. Another great way to make this aisle runner a keepsake is to simply hang it as a tapestry in the couples new home.
Remember this wonderful decoration is a fantastic way to personalize your wedding venue.
