Trend Alert: Customizing YOUR Yellow Brick Road

HAPPY SEPTEMBER, KIDDOS :)
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
-- 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.
