Can you think of any other time in your life when you will have the complete attention of a small to large crowd during which you can display the love you and your fiancé have for each other?  I bet not.  This is one of the primary reasons weddings are wonderful--you can personalize so much.  In making your wedding personal, you make it interesting, unique, and heartfelt.

One way to distinguish your nuptials is to personalize the decor of your wedding.  Meet Kristin Shortt, owner of I Do Orginials, who has made it her business to help you represent your special wedding style.  From candles to parasols, Kristin and her team have a wonderful selection of items.  Her work has been featured in several top wedding magazines, including The Knot, Weddings Unveiled, Atlanta Occasions, and Belle Magazine.  I Do Originals also created an aisle runner for Miss America 2007, Lauren Nelson.

For this post, I decided to focus exclusively on aisle runners, which make for wonderful photos; from formal church weddings to outdoor gatherings, aisle runners are a perfect place for personalization.  Kristin has mastered the technique, inviting clients to choose from a variety of colors and styles.

Read on to learn more about what is popular with aisle runners and see more fantastic photographs.

 

What made you decide to do aisle runners when you opened I Do Originals?

I found that there were very limited resources for personalized ceremony decor, and realized that I could help to fill that niche by creating custom personalized aisle runners.

What are the most popular designs and colors for aisle runners?

Monograms are definitely our number one sellers, but we also love when brides chose a combination of a verse and a monogram.  As for colors, we see the full spectrum, but some popular combinations are deep pink and navy, gold and black, purple and champagne, and tiffany blue and silver.

How can couples keep aisle runners affordable?

Go with a simple single initial. It is cost effective but it also makes a huge statement.

How soon do couples need to place their order to ensure they have it for the wedding date?

We are fortunate to have an extremely high volume of orders so our current turnaround time is 3 months.  We can also accommodate rush orders, but contact us first to check availability and pricing.

How could I not adore this one with my first name and that of my husband?

What do you feel differentiates you from others in your industry?

We have been open for four years now and have established a strong reputation in the wedding industry.  This is our full time job, not just a side business, so you know you are getting quality work and attention when you order from us! 

Any advice for couples as they select monograms or verses for their aisle runner?

When ordering a custom aisle runner, select a monogram or verse that reflects you and your fiance as a couple and fits in with the overall feel of your wedding.  Spectacular weddings are those that are a true reflection of the couple.
