New to Our Line...

We’re happy to tell you we’ve just introduced two new fabrics into our line.  The first is our Brushed Satin fabric which can be used for our 36″ and 45″ aisle runners as an upgrade from the standard polyester fabric we’re currently offering.  The Brushed Satin can also be used on our table runners and banners.  Brushed Satin fabric aisle runners are made from a polyester matte satin fabric.  This fabric has a smooth satin feel, without the shiny coating.  The fabric is soft to the touch and is available in 22 colors.  Just like our Polyester fabric aisle runners, the Brushed Satin fabric aisle runners have surged edges and are one long piece of fabric with no seams that will not puncture under normal wear and tear.  If you’re looking for a slightly higher quality fabric than our Polyester fabric aisle runners, these aisle runners are for you.

We’ve also brought back our nonslip aisle runners in a white color only.  Nonslip aisle runners are the best runners on the market.  Made from a cotton fabric with foam adhered to the underside, these aisle runners will not move when walked upon.  Trust me, I’ve tried dancing on them, we’ve had clients roll wheelchairs down them, etc.  They just don’t move.  They’re lightweight too, meaning they’re easy to roll down the aisle.  Nonslip aisle runners come standard at 42″ wide.  Again, nonslip aisle runners are only available in white, so if you’re looking for a colored aisle runner, be sure to check out our other fabric types.

If you’re not sure which fabric type is for you, just {email us} and ask for a swatch.  You just need to tell us the type of fabric (Budget, Polyester, Brushed Satin, or Nonslip) and the color(s) you’re looking for and we’ll send them out to you.

Which Custom Aisle Runner Type do I choose??

New – Nonslip aisle runners are back in white only AND we’re now offering Brushed Satin fabric aisle runners!!

With so many options to choose from, it’s easy to see why you might feel overwhelmed when making the decision to purchase a custom aisle runner from Customized Wedding Creations.  It’s time we made it simple for you!

When choosing to have an aisle runner custom-made, it’s important to realize that very few companies out there actually produce quality custom-made aisle runners.  I can probably count on one hand the companies that I know who make an aisle runner worth anything.  It’s all too easy to get suckered into the “it’s cheaper” thought process.  But, the old adage is true, you get what you pay for.  At Customized Wedding Creations, we hand-paint every one of our products and we use only the finest materials.  Nothing is machine processed.  With that, it’s expected that you’re going to have to pay a little more for a true quality product.

So, you’ve decided Customized Wedding Creations is the company for you, but you still don’t know how to proceed with your custom aisle runner purchase.  The first thing you need to ask yourself, even before how much are you willing to spend, is what type of quality is needed.  If you’re walking down a concrete or carpeted aisle, then you really could choose any of our products.  But, if you’re walking down a marble floor, a fabric aisle runner with nonslip backing added is your best bet.  Here’s the low down on each of our aisle runner types -

Budget Aisle Runners

Budget Aisle Runner

Our budget aisle runners are made from a spun-bonded material, meaning they are not traditionally sewn fabric like you are probably used to.  While these runners are not similar to a dryer sheet (like a lot of the aisle runners on the net), they are not the same quality as our fabric aisle runners.  Budget aisle runners are fused together so you will literally see tiny holes (and I mean tiny) throughout the length of the runner, where the “threads” are fused together.  This aisle runner is ideal for many aisles because it is both wrinkle-free and puncture-resistant.  This means that under normal circumstances, heels likely will not poke through the material.  Budget aisle runners are available in white and ivory fabric.  Please be warned, the ivory fabric is a darker ivory, almost tan.

Polyester Fabric Aisle Runners

Fabric Aisle Runners

Polyester fabric aisle runners are literally made from polyester poplin fabric and come in an array of colors (65 to be exact).  These quality aisle runners have surged edges (so no fraying) and are one long piece of material (no seams).  Polyester fabric aisle runners are made from material that is similar to what you would find used for restaurant linens.  They are quality material and will not puncture under normal wear and tear.  For obvious reasons, polyester fabric aisle runners are our number one seller.

Brushed Satin Fabric Aisle Runners

{Picture Coming Soon}

In the mean time, view our color chart or email us to request swatches.

A notch above our Polyester fabric aisle runners, our Brushed Satin fabric aisle runners are made from a polyester matte satin fabric.  This fabric has a smooth satin feel, without the shiny coating.  The fabric is soft to the touch and is available in 22 colors.  Just like our Polyester fabric aisle runners, the Brushed Satin fabric aisle runners have surged edges and are one long piece of fabric with no seams that will not puncture under normal wear and tear.  If you’re looking for a slightly higher quality fabric than our Polyester fabric aisle runners, these aisle runners are for you.

Nonslip Aisle Runners

We’ve been back and fourth with the addition of nonslip aisle runners to our collection, but for now, they’re back.  I’m hoping they’ll stick around, but if you’ve followed us through the past year and a half, you’ve known that we’ve offered them and then stopped due to distributor issues.  They are back now, but are available in white only.

Nonslip aisle runners are the best runners on the market.  Made from a cotton fabric with foam adhered to the underside, these aisle runners will not move when walked upon.  They’re lightweight too, meaning they’re easy to roll down the aisle.

No matter which aisle runner material you choose, you can expect your aisle runner to be pressed and rolled onto a tube for easy use.  They also include either a rope (budget aisle runners) or satin ribbon (fabric) pull cord.

Now that it’s all laid out for you, I’m sure you’re thinking…well, this is an easy decision!  :)

Be on the look out for a future blog post to help differentiate the aisle runner collections too!

Customized Wedding Creations on Vacation 8/24 - 8/29

Just wanted to let you all know we will be closed for vacation from Tuesday, August 24th through Sunday, August 29th.  We’ll be once again traveling down south to our favorite city, New Orleans!!  :)  So, all emails and phone calls will not receive responses until Sunday/Monday.  Any orders received during this time will be processed upon our return.  All orders placed during the time we are away will have a three month waiting period from the date the order is received rather than the date payment is received since we will be delaying the normal processing time.  Any orders that have already been placed and paid for will not be affected by our vacation as they will be completed by the date listed at the end of the receipt you received.

We’re still here today (Monday), so if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.  Enjoy your week!

Check Us Out

Yesterday I was so beyond pleased when Heather Sconza of All the Rave Events by Heather located right here in Hamilton, NJ wrote about our company {click here}. I have to say, I’ve been written about many times, but when it’s by someone local who knows you and just this nice, it makes so much more of an impact. Heather is a wonderful event planner here in NJ and has even planned an event for me (hubby’s 30th surprise party a few years ago).  Having seen her work first hand, I know how great she is to work with. I also know she has her hands in tons of projects throughout the state.  Anyway, thank you again, Heather.  Be sure to check out {Heather on Facebook} if you’re local to Hamilton – you won’t regret it!

What to Do with Your Aisle Runner After the Wedding

We’re often asked what to do with our aisle runners once the wedding is over.  I’ve written about it {here} with what I did with my own runner.  Here’s another idea – repurpose the runner – make a blanket out of the monogrammed portion of your aisle runner.  Our lovely bride, Latasha, sent over some pictures of her aisle runner turned blanket…

Do you have any other ideas for what to do with the aisle runner after the wedding?  Better yet – any pictures?  Send em my way!

Introducing: The Platinum Collection

Can you believe it, we’re introducing yet another new collection?  Well, this collection isn’t really something new…it’s just a collaboration of different items we’ve already been offering.  So, you ask why we’re putting up a collaborative collection of runners we already feature?  That’s easy – this is our {Platinum Collection} and it features runners as ordered by our celebrity clients.  If you’ve seen some of the runners we’ve done for our celebrity clients and wanted one for yourself but didn’t know exactly how to go about ordering, now everything is in one simple place for you.  So, pop on over to our {Platinum Collection} to see for yourself or take a peek at this runner that’s part of the collection…

And wouldn’t you know, we’ve got a few more ideas up our sleeve to present later this year…so stay tuned!
