Aisle Runners
June 13th, 2006 Posted in Wedding Planning and Ideas
An aisle runner can be a great accent to your wedding day decor. Whether it is is sophisticated and simple or customized and beautiful is up to you. Either way the aisle runner sets the path for you as a bride to walk to your new life.
Aisle runners are actually a wedding tradition that has been around for quite some time. Typically the runners were white and held an important purpose on the wedding day.
Is a white aisle runner important? Why?
Long ago, brides were actually carried to their weddings to protect them from evil spirits believed to be lurking in the ground. White aisle runners offered brides pure pathways to their wedding ceremonies. These days, runners are not mandatory, but they are sophisticated and beautiful. And many are created in colors other than white. In fact, there are many places that custom-design aisle runners with your monogram or wedding logo. Or there’s always an ultra-romantic carpet of rose petals — what a way to walk down the aisle in style!
So whether you stick with tradition or design your own, find an aisle runner that compliments your wedding day style.
