Aisle Runner

I don't really like them. I think it's one of those things that you don't need, you'll use it for all of the 2 minutes it takes you to walk up the aisle, and that's it.

I REALLY like the look of a nice aisle runner.. BUT I agree with everyone else, it's just kind of pointless and an added expense/something else you have to think about.
I'm not having one but there is a tiny part of me that would like one, when I think about a picture perfect wedding I see an aisle runner.. There are other things you can do to line the aisle as well/instead of an aisle runner.. and considering you're going to have a mighty nice long aisle I would probably add a few things to line the aisle with to give it that 'wedding' feel. I on the other hand will have a very short aisle with under 30 guests lolMet Online: February 2009

I wanted to have candles all the way down the aisle - but the church said no. Something about a fire hazard.... (I looked into LED pillar candles. WAY too $$$ and I've even looked into places to rent them from - too bad I don't live in LA or Canada...)
We're not doing flowers. I don't want mason jars on shepherd's hooks. I don't like the typical "pew bows". The only reason I disagree that the aisle runner is "pointless" is because I don't have any other decorations for the chapel. None. The aisle runner length I have been told is 100'.
And while none of my guests will remember if I had one or not, I know it will be something that I notice in the pictures.

Well yeah, if you're unable to have any other 'wedding' type decorations for the aisle/room then I would get an aisle runner - you can hire those too which might save you some cash and not have to deal with it after the wedding. I agree that aisle runners make the pictures even nicer, and you WILL notice them.. the whole wedding is based on what you want anyway, if you didn't care for ANY wedding decorations then that would be the perfect wedding in your eyes, if you want an aisle runner then get one! it would really frame the shot down the center of the aisle looking down towards you two at the end..

I don't see the point of them. They feel like just one more thing we'd have to buy... I also don't like when flower petals are spread down the aisle. I know for sure my dress would drag all of them down the aisle and then we'd end up with a pile :P
I don't know... maybe I'll feel differently when I'm actually engaged, but yeah it seems like a waste of money.

I didn't do anything special to mine, but I just googled it and it looks like a lot of people like to stencil and paint on their initials and wedding date. Looks nice!
ETA: I have a 60% off coupon for JoAnns. I know they have aisle runners there, and I think they normally run about $30 for the length I need.
