Favorite Find for the Week

Hello Brides!!  As the weekend was going on and the weather was horrible, I got bored and decided to look for something fun and original to share with you. 

Here is my favorite find for the week!  Custom designed, Non-slip Fabric Aisle Runners. 

The Original Runner Company creates the world’s first non-slip fabric aisle runners for weddings and special events.  All of their aisle runners are completely tear and puncture proof even for outdoor installations.  With the unique solid colors, elegant patterns, and limitless custom designs; they have the perfect aisle runner for every grand entrance.  Pricing starts at $145

Aisle runners were first used in the days when the roads were unpaved.  Guests would track in mud and dirt and it just didn't seem right that the bride should have to drag her gown through all of that so, the aisle runner was used to protect her gown.  We don't really have that problem anymore.  Aisle runners are completely optional, but when you can add something this regal to your grand entrance, you should definately go for it!  Here is a small sampling of what The Original Runner Company can create for you.

Did I mention you can add crystals, feathers, or any unique item for a couture look.  They also offer matching accessories! 
Now, I know that you are probably wondering what you could possibly do with this when your wedding celebration is done...well, let me give you some suggestions (also through Original Runner Company).

  • Create a family heirloom by adding additional monograms for years to come
  • Craft a table runner to use for romantic anniversaries
  • Drape the runner over a table at the reception for guest signatures, then frame it and hang it in your new home
  • Fashion a personalized Christmas Tree skirt (love love love this idea!)
  • Create a quilt
What would your personalized design be for your grand entrance?  What is your favorite idea for "after the event"?  Post your comment and let us know!

You can contact The Original Runner Company directly or, better yet, let your wedding designer know you're interested!  Tell them Shelly from Signature Events by Shelly sent you.

Create Away!!!
