If you`re anything like me, you`re still trying to figure out where exactly summer went, but I hope each of you made your summer count.
We are well into the heat of wedding season, and I have noticed an increasingly large trend in wedding ceremonies that I wanted to share with you --
M0DERN AiSLE RUNNER TWiSTS!
*RUNNER TIPS*
Before taking a peek, there are a few important things to be mindful of when considering using an aisle runner for your special day:• Not all venues even allow runners →
So ask far enough in advance so you are perfectly clear!
• If the venue DOES allow runners →
Be mindful of the flooring surface the runner will be placed on. Beware of tile or polished floors, and bring a sample piece of your runner with you to one of your venue consultations to make sure you are comfortable. It`s going to be the most important walk of your life where ALL eyes are on you -- let`s make sure your wedding is memorable for the right reasons, not for you slipping down the aisle in your pretty dress!
• If you will be using flower petals →
Make sure your venue is comfortable with this preference, and ask in advance who will be responsible for cleaning the petals up! Why get charged a cleaning fee unnecessarily?
• If you will be using candles →
Make sure you have discussed it with your venue and thoroughly reviewed their fire codes/safety guidelines. We don`t need, you, your dress, your aisle, or your guests going up in flames!
Now for the fun stuff ...
You could have this:
^^ THE TRADITIONAL AISLE RUNNER You could have this:
-- With either a delicate paisley/floral/lace/damask pattern or plain with no pattern at all.
_ OR _
You could have these :)
^^ Monograms -- Such a classy way to make a bold statement. You could either pay to get this printed, or easily do it yourself with a template and a paintbrush! Also, consider accenting your monogram with one of your wedding colors!
^^ Monogrammed aisle runner and petal combination
-- Real petals are more expensive but harder to clean up than false ones, and could actually stain. Beware if using real petals in your venue, especially if it is carpeted!
^^ An aisle runner covered in patterns/textures
^^ Decorative flower petal designs
-- GREAT OPTION for outdoor venues!
^^ Simplistic solid-color aisle runner adorned with complimentary candles
^^ Aisle runner flanked with flower petals and illuminated floral arrangements
-- SO ROMANTIC and great for an evening wedding or a darker venue, indoors or outdoors
^^ 2 Runners
-- 1 large solid color runner with a more narrow traditional aisle runner laid down the middle and flanked with floral designs and petals
Love and hugs until September 15th, and as always -- stay fabulous.
