n kind enough to send me a picture sample of the paint color. They were able to incorporate our personalized, calligraphy monogram on it by just using our JPEG image of the monogram and it was stunning. The runner came nicely packaged with instructions for opening and rolling it out and came quickly. Easiest accessory we ordered and could not have been happier with it!

We are going to have it framed. Also the material of this runner is amazing very resistant i was 100% confident that my heel was not going to get caught on the runner.
My husband and I were thrilled with the beautiful craftsmanship and quality of our Vow Renewal Runner. We were married 06/15/2013 but decided to have our reception on 06/16/2018. ...
However, since this runner will last all our lives we wanted it to bear our names and the original date of our wedding ceremony. Everyone at our reception remarked on the beauty of the runner. We loved it so much that we had it professionally framed and it hangs in our bedroom. It's the first thing we see when we wake up in the morning. What a beautiful gift to ourselves. Every bride and groom should buy a runner from Designing the Aisle!

My personalized runner was the perfect touch to my wedding decorations! I greatly appreciated the fact that even before I decided to have them create my runner, they sent me fabric...
samples and paint color samples free of charge to help me make my decision. I ended up choosing a different fabric color and paint color than I would have guessed online! (Since my dress was a light ivory, not white, I had figured the ivory fabric color would be the best choice - but it definitely would not have been!) They are very responsive, listened to everything I had to say, and did everything they could to make the runner perfect for me! Absolutely no regrets!
Simply The Best!! Deciding to order an aisle runner and discovering Designing the Aisle was one of the best decisions we could have made. Our aisle runner added that lagniappe to o...
ur wedding ceremony. We had a monogram for our wedding prior to speaking with Chris at Designing the Aisle but we felt like it was missing something. When I spoke to Chris, I expressed my vision and a couple of days later she altered the monogram to the design I expressed. What impressed us was that Chris actually listened and she wanted to ensure Designing the Aisle could help make our day as spectacular as we Envisioned.
We did not want just our monogram on the aisle runner but I also wanted a message to my dad. Chris suggested we place the message to my dad in a location that he could read before we walked down the aisle. The design team made sure to space the monogram and the message in a way that was aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Designing the Aisle did not have one of our wedding colors so they mixed paints to match our wedding color. We are still receiving compliments over the aisle runner design and the special touches our guest noticed throughout our wedding.
We would give them more than 5 stars if that was an option. Weddings are an emotional and because of that some vendors take advantage by adding extra fees or a surcharge in price. Designing the Aisle did not do that and are a reputable business. Chris went above and beyond to make sure I felt like a special bride every time I spoke with her. She and her team provided superb customer service, delivered a creative design and paid attention to detail. Designing the Aisle is really several steps above the rest.
Thank you Chris and the rest of the team at Designing the Aisle for making our wedding Extraordinary.
Thank You!
Team E
Thank you again for our aisle runner!!! We are so glad that we selected your company for the final touches to our wedding day. Great quality and reasonably priced!
Ordering our aisle runner from Designing The Aisle was one of our last minute details to our Wedding. They were so pleasant to work with- they responded to our emails the same day ...
and were always available if we had any questions throughout the design process. When we got stuck between choosing a white or an ivory runner, they sent us fabric swatches of both with samples of the paint colors we had chosen in the mail. They got it sent out just a few days later. When the aisle runner arrived, all we had to do was unbox it and keep it rolled up until the day of the wedding. Set up was a breeze- just had to unroll and stick down the corners to the carpet at our venue (we used duct tape as they suggested) and it was a quick and simple process! So many of our guests complimented on the classy yet simple and personalized detail the aisle runner added to our ceremony venue. We saved the runner and are going to be using the fabric with our logo to create a pillow for our home! We highly recommend Designing The Aisle. We’ll be using them again when my sister gets married. Thank you!
Absolute perfection! I was a bride that wanted everything to be perfect down to the exact color of gold for accent pieces. Chris was amazing to work with! They were able to deliver...
the product super fast and even ship it to my florist who had it set out! For our big day I was all about details and this is one that I didn't want to miss out on! Chris was able to direct me to exactly what I was looking for with an aisle mat to compliment my mirrored runner, her patience and professionalism really helped make this an easy decision in the scheme of things! I did the mat for my dad when we walked down a staircase, he completely lost it and it was such a special moment that the two of us shared before taking the best walk! I don't think anyone could have recreated a moment that we had and it was all thanks to Designing the Aisle and their talented staff! I would highly recommend taking this into account when planning a wedding, everything is always in the details! Thank so much, Designing the Aisle!
All we can say is WOW! My husband and I wanted something different other than a traditional aisle runner. Designing the aisle staff worked patiently with us to find the right desig...

As you can see, designing the aisle has become a part of out family and will be for years to come. Again thank you so much. Robin & Curtis

. Chris was in constant contact every step of the way - helping to design the custom graphic that turned out absolutely beautiful. With over 20 years of event planning experience and working with many different vendors, I can say working with Designing the Aisle was one of the easiest and uncomplicated experiences. They made me feel that my aisle runner was just as important to them as it was to me. Even though I am in Texas and they are located in Florida, it was incredibly easy and seamless to work with the team. I have two more weddings coming up in the very near future and I look forward to working with Designing the Aisle.

sonalized and the wording in my wedding color (purple) made our decision easy. They were very friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, including sending us a picture of the wording before shipping the runner to us. They advised the tracking number and also kept us up to date with the delivery status. Once it was rolled out, the runner did not move due to the quality of the fabric. The runner is beautiful and was a big hit at the ceremony. We are going to display it in our home.

They demonstrated a professional passion and consistency to trusting Thier service & quality work.... Can't thank you enough for making my wedding day much more memorable.

utely stunning. I spoke with Chris and she is incredibly amazing to work with. She made the experience of designing and purchasing the runner an awesome event. The website is very informative, easy to read, and instructions are excellent. Chris responds expeditiously exemplifying excellent customer service. She has a heart to make your day special. We had a monogram that was design for us and Chris provided everything needed to allow us to use our signature monogram. She mail samples and provided proofs for us to review prior to placing the order. The product was delivered very timely. We have maintained our runner and will use it as a hanging tapestry as one of the suggestions offered for additional use. The quality and workmanship will allow our runner to be with us for many memorable years to come. Thanks Chris, you and your family have an extraordinary business providing exemplary excellent customer service. Alethea Gadson
From the moment I first got in contact with Chris she was nothing less than amazing. A few weeks ago I was in a rush to get a runner for my wedding thr following week. I didn't th...
ink it was going to be possible but Chris made it happen. She was responsive immediately and listened to what I wanted and made my vision come to life. My runner arrived within days of me contacting her and she stayed in touch even after it was delivered to make sure I got it. She truly knows how to please her customers and her and her staff did a wonderful job. I can't thank her enough and would definitely highly recommend her. I can't wait to see my aisle runner in all of my pictures as I walk down the aisle.
My husband wanted me to have a special aisle runner to walk down the aisle on. He began searching for something different and he found Designing the Aisle! He had me look at their...
website and I got so excited. He called Chris and we began the process. She was so helpful as we decided on what the runner would entail. She walked us through every step. Such a professional and you can tell they really love what they do! Once the runner came I became more excited and could wait to the final product on our wedding day. It was beautiful and really made a bold statement. I allowed the entire wedding party walk on it.
I would have never thought of a personal aisle runner on my own but I am sure glad my husband did.
Thanks Chris for helping to make our wedding ceremony special and different.

Our venue was an old mill with original brick and exposed wood. I needed an aisle runner that could soften the venue and work in collaboration with the fabric draping. I sent Chris...
an email and noted the measurements of the aisle 44 feet-7 inch long, 42 inch wide and the color of the runner I wanted (white). Over the phone Chris helped me choose the font of the “G”. Chris gladly told me over the phone the G could be painted petal pink to match our accents. Throughout the process Chris made me aware of how the designing team was progressing with the runner. Once the runner was sent it took no time for me to receive in Pennsylvania. One the day of wedding I saw and walked on it for the first time. The fabric was durable and easy to walk on with heels however the petal pink G was the star of the runner. We received many compliments and I was able to get my wish of the runner to look beautiful with the ceiling fabric draping. I'm looking forward to cutting off the G and framing it as a keepsake. Thank you to Chris and the talented Designing Aisle team

The runner was gorgeous, they did an amazing job and I love how they worked with my husband to make it absolutely perfect. Thank you!
