Custom Aisle Runners: Personalize Your Wedding Aisle

A custom aisle runner is a great way to really dress up the aisle at your wedding. While many people focus on the big decorations, a custom aisle runner is the perfect way to add a little something extra to your ceremony. If you are getting married in a very ornate church or location where you don’t want a lot of decorations but you do want them to be unique, customizing the decorations that you do have will really make a statement. Sometimes simple is better, especially when you are getting married in a place that is already heavily decorated.

A custom aisle runner is something that you can have made if you’d like. Just about everything you could want made especially for your wedding can be made. Many party stores can order or create customized aisle runners, or you can order them from magazines. Many couples have their names woven throughout the aisle runner, or they have "happily ever after" woven in.

These are really fun ideas for a custom aisle runner, and while these things are woven in, many people may not notice. The words are usually woven in with a thread that is a similar color to the actual aisle runner; so you have to look close to really see it. But, the bride and groom will know what their custom aisle runner says, and that’s what is important.

The bride and groom or friends of theirs can also create customized aisle runners. One really beautiful idea is to buy artificial flowers and cut them off their stems so you basically have the flower blossom left. You’ll want to choose a flower that is the same color as or compliments the wedding colors. You’ll then take these flowers and one by one you’ll hot glue them along the edges of the aisle runner. This type of custom aisle runner will take awhile to make, but it’s worth it because the flowers will really stand out when the runner is rolled down the aisle.

If the aisle runner is a stark white, just about any color can be used for this custom aisle runner project. If you want the aisle runner to really stand out, bright or bold colors will work best. If you want a subtle elegance, muted colors will works beautifully. If you go with this custom aisle runner idea it’ll cost you less than if you have one made, and it will be truly unique. Save several handfuls of the clipped artificial flowers for your flower girl to toss as she walks down the aisle, as your guests will definitely notice this.

A custom aisle runner is a fun idea for just about every wedding. If you are working with a tight budget this is a simple way to decorate big, and have people notice your beautiful decorations. Even if you aren’t working on a budget, this is just a fun idea that anyone would appreciate. Use customized aisle runners to personalize your wedding aisle, and have fun with it!
