HELP>>> AISLE RUNNER

I'm planning to have carpet instead of the runner but I do think $165 is a bit much for a runner. I'm SURE you can make it yourself cheaper.

I would shop around

We are making our own. We are going to blow up our monogram, we bought the aisle running for $15 at Michael's (with a coupon) got some acrylic paint in our wedding colors for like $3 and some paint brushes in all different sizes and we are going to make our own. I agree with Jamila B....that seems a bit steep for an aisle runner.

Thanks you guys!

Tiffany>> Did you guys try to walk on the runner? Was it slippery?

Sorry no we haven't tried to walk on it yet we haven't started the project yet because we just bought the supply last weekend. But I understand your concern about slipping. That would not be a good look on your wedding day, lol

If you use the paper-like runners it should be fine (and maybe put pads under your shoes). The only reason I can think it's slippery is if it's plastic like a tablecloth.

Okay I think I may do a project then lol... I can always tape it as well lol.... The coupon at Michael's you received online?

Thanks Jamila B and Tiffany

I have an app on my phone with coupons to different stores so I just go to the store and show the coupon on my phone, but here is a site that you can print the coupons from and they have updated coupons every week. Good Luck

Thanks Tiffany!

We're skipping the aisle runner actually....my dad is a pastor and he doesn't allow them in his church anymore. He has seen too many brides and bridesmaids get their heels stuck in them, or trip and bite the dust.

Sorry I know that's not your question. But aisle runners scare me. I'm klutzy enough, I don't need another reason to fall down!!

Lol Kris S... I completely understand lol

I bought mines from amzaon with cute laced flowers all over it and not slipper..so 165 i think you should shop around a little

I followed the instructions on Hayley's profile.

Kacee, that turned out Great! I don't think I saw it the first time you posted it.

Kacee - Love your runner! I really need to start on mine. I also got mine from Michaels with a 50% off coupon and purchased some acrylic paint. I already designed and printed the template...just have to actually do it

I just ordered mine from Amazon a couple of days ago. It was only $30 for 150 feet, so I think you should def shop around.

Thanks Haley C.>> I will def try it out!

My ceremony location is a ballroom w/ marble floors I'm afraid I'd slip, I'm lining the aisle (relatively sparsely) with varying sizes of ivory balloons that will easily float away as I walk down the aisle.
