Monogrammed Aisle Runner

Just completed a personalized aisle runner for Hayley and Shelton for their July 30th wedding.  The bride designed the runner with black ribbon trim, names, date, and scroll in black with Lemongrass color for the initial with a glitter topcoat added to the "B" which makes it glisten!

What Brides Need To Know Before Ordering A Custom Wedding Aisle Runner

 My company Chic Unique Inc. has created hand painted personalized aisle runners for countless weddings.

I have a few considerations engaged couples need to know before ordering:

First, does your church or venue allow aisle runners?

Allow enough time for the runner to be completed (allow 12 weeks before wedding date).


Decide on a monogram, quote, poem, or designs a that reflects the couple, fits their theme, or introduces their new monogram to their wedding guests.

Provide swatches to help better match paint and the ribbon for the runner’s edges .

I make every attempt to match colors as closely as possible to the colors you are currently using for your wedding. If an exact match is a concern, perhaps choosing neutral colors such as black, silver, gold, or brown would be a better option. Keep in mind, darker colors show up best for photography.

Measure the aisle yourself! Don’t rely on the venue to tell you the length. There have been occasions that the bride/groom/planner didn’t measure the space themselves, relied on the venue to tell them the length, and later found out the measurement was wrong, after the runner was rolled out for the ceremony. Wrong measurements can incur more expense for the wedding couple if they order runners longer than they need, or end up disappointed because they are too short.

I base your order on what you tell me, and if the measurement is wrong, the design may not lay where you want it to, (example the center design won’t end up in the center).

Next, picture and decide where the design would look best: entrance, center, or altar area. You are really the best judge of this because you are looking at the ceremony space.

One suggestion I have if you are considering having the design painted at the entrance area, is to have the design painted up at least 3 feet. It looks better than having it right close to the edge.

Finally, think about how you want to display your runner at the ceremony.

Will you roll it out ahead of time, rope off the aisle, and have your guests enter and exit from side aisles?

Do you want to have an usher roll out the runner, and have your bridal party walk down it ahead of you?

Or, do you want an usher to roll out the runner after your bridal party has walked down the aisle and just before it is time for the you/the bride to make your entrance?

When you are ready to place an order, you can go to my website located at www.chicuniqueinc.com, look at the gallery of aisle runners already completed, along with ceremony pictures of weddings I have done.

Fall Aisle Runner Ideas

I've been getting calls for fall wedding aisle runners.  I thought I would post a couple of pictures of some designs I've done that added a fall theme to their wedding ceremony.

Take a look at the custom aisle runner created for Megan and Josh.  Getting married July 23rd.  I love the black and white color scheme.  It is not only elegant, but will show up well for photography.
