About Personalizing a Wedding Aisle Runner

Wedding aisle runners are a very popular item at wedding ceremonies. It is a great way to decorate lots of empty space at your wedding ceremony and include your wedding colors and wedding theme.Since a wedding aisle runner will appear in almost all your ceremony photos, it is important to incorporate your wedding theme and colors into your wedding aisle runner.

The Outdoor Wedding Ceremony and Custom Wedding Aisle Runners

There are a few wedding ceremony themes or locations that an aisle runner is important, so you will want to make sure to include your wedding theme into the details you include on your custom aisle runner. Here is some ideas to customize and personalize your own wedding aisle runner for outdoor weddigs.

Many brides like to have their weddings at a garden or park, in the backyard of a private home, or their reception facility has outdoor weddings. These often involve an aisle that is on the grass or paved sidewalk. Outdoor weddings on grass often use rose petals to delineate the wedding aisle. These rose petal covered aisles are with and without a wedding aisle runner. If you use a wedding aisle runner, keep the rose petals to the edges and sides of the wedding aisle runner. If you have a pattern or monogram on a custom printed wedding aisle runner, make sure the petals to not track onto the printed areas. Some roses petals can be strewn onto the runner itself, but make sure your runner is sturdy enough to not cause a possible slippery surface by adding rose petals. Remember that some elderly relatives and children will be walking on the runner, and everyone in the wedding party will likely be wearing new shoes, so accidents are more likely with rose petals on top of your runner. When you purchase a runner, ask the aisle runner printer if they use self healing materials for the runner, which means it will not rip, indent, or tear when a high heel walks on the runner itself. It is also a good idea to make sure your rose petals compliment your wedding aisle runner design, monogram or any writing on your aisle runner.

Personalizing Wedding Aisle Runners for a Beach Wedding Theme

A wedding aisle runner is important a beach wedding to help establish an aisle for the ceremony and visually delineate the ceremony area. Even an informal beach wedding can benefit by a wedding aisle runner since it adds a look of festive celebration to the event. If you want to protect your shoes or wedding dress, an aisle runner is important for you and your wedding guests. There are a few ways to decorate your aisle runner if you are having a beach themed wedding. Some brides and wedding consultants have used sea shells placed along the edges and sides of the aisle runner. Another ways is to use sea glass, which often comes in pretty shades of blue, green and white. Make sure the pieces are pretty and have no rough edges. If a bride and groom especially love the beach they may have collected sea glass over the years and have a nice collection they can use on their aisle runner. If not, it is easy to start collecting sea glass, but start soon so you have enough for your wedding. I especially like the sea glass for weddings in this seasons hot colors of blue, turquoise, and light green. It is light and informal but colorful and pretty and fresh. If you use sea shells , make sure to use colors that are visible against the background color of your wedding aisle runner so you can see them in photos and guests can see the visual effect. Do not put shells in the walkway of hte bride. It is too easy to trip or snag dresses when the bride is walking up the aisle looking at her groom! So keep all sea glass and sea shells on the sides and edges when used to decorate a wedding aisle runner at a beach wedding. These are great inexpensive decorating options for the do it yourself bride.

How to personalize and decorate your Wedding Aisle Runner for an Autumn Wedding Theme

I love an autumn themed wedding because the colors are so vibrant. To personalize your wedding aisle runner for a fall wedding, you can use colorful leaves like maple leaves which turn a rich yellow, red maple turn a deep burgundy, oaks leaves are orange and yellow, birch leaves are a pretty mottled yellow and green. All sorts of gords and pumpkins are available during this season, and lining the sides or the wedding aisle runner with the tiny pumpkins or gourds of your choice. This is very colorful and helps anchor the runner along the aisle. Make sure that if you have a printed aisle runner or hand made painted runner that the leaves do not cover the aisle runner designs.
