All About Runners

Whether they're dressing up a church or establishing a pathway, aisle runners impart a regal quality, especially if they're made from heavy canvas rather than disposable paper. They come in man colors and can be custom painted. Keep in mind.

1. Lots of ceremony photos are taken from the back of the church,

so the runner will be prominent in your pictures.

2.  Placing a runner on a potentially slippery surface like tile

or smooth wood is asking for trouble.

3.  Order a runner that's longer than the aisle and can be secured at

both ends, so your dress won't drag the runner along with you.

4.  If you lay a runner directly on grass, heels will go right through it.

Creating a "runner" of freeze-dried rose petals or biodegradable confetti is better.
