A little informal shot of my husband and me - without his support, Customized Wedding Creations would not be what it is today!

Weddings are all about the details and that’s exactly what I am all about. It was my special attention to detail that inspired me to launch Customized Wedding Creations in early 2007.

I was trying to plan decor for my own wedding.   I spent a lot of time on varied wedding forums and was excited when I came across a post detailing the new DIY trend of hand-painting a custom aisle runner.  The old story is true – I made my runner, showed it on some of the forums, and word spread like wildfire with brides wanting me to paint a runner for them.   So this little old business of mine was born from the idea of painting an aisle runner for my own wedding…an aisle runner that I wasn’t even able to use!  Check out a couple of pictures of my aisle runner that I converted into a table runner {here}.

Now, over three years later, I have hand-crafted over 1,000 unique {aisle runners} and other {accessories} such as {table runners}, {banners}, and {parasols} for brides and grooms across the country, including several celebrity and high profile clients.  I have also had the pleasure of being featured in several online and print publications, most recently the famed Southern Wedding Magazine.

I hand paint each and every order, specifically for each client, using only high-quality fabrics and paints. The product line includes eight aisle runner {collections} from the {traditional} hand-painted logo designs to the the {top-of-the-line}, aisle runners with crystal or rhinestone initials and borders. Each product is available with optional {enhancements}: Swarovski crystals, rhinestone banding, satin ribbon border, monogram outlining, glitter coatings or paint and more.

As the owner of Customized Wedding Creations, I focus on the small details of the wedding that really make for a memorable moment in time.  I work closely with my clients when creating proofs to make sure they receive exactly what they envision.  This is my passion and I love every minute of it!
