The Original Runner Company


Original Runner Company
Many brides dream of having the “red carpet” rolled out for their special day.  Now they can have it! Even better, brides can now customize their aisle runners and have the grand entrance that they have been dreaming of.  While watching Shark Tank on television, I came across a company that not only creates custom aisle runners, but they created the first NON-SLIP aisle runner.  This is a fantastic idea because many venue locations do not allow aisle runners because they can be dangerous.  Runners can blow in the wind, wrinkle up, and be slippery when wet which makes this a very difficult runway for the bridal party and bride to walk down.
 
The Original Runner Company has come up with the non-slip, rubber backing to all of their custom aisle runners so that each bride is guaranteed a safe, yet fashionable runway for her wedding.  The Original Runner Company can customize the bride’s runner to say anything.  They can do monograms, patters, or floral designs that come in all different lengths and colors.  Located in Montclair, NJ they are very assessable and affordable.

Every bride dreams of becoming a celebrity on their wedding day.  The Original Runner Company now lets you feel just like that…a celebrity.  A few celebrity brides that they have created aisle runners for are Kim Kardashion, Ashlee Simpson, Fergie, Bethenny Frankel, and Nicole Richie.  These runners are unique and tastefully done.  They seem to have been made specifically for each individual bride with great attention to detail.

Not only do I feel this is a great concept, but I also think they are gorgeous! The website allows you to order a swatch from any runner that you wish.  Then it is mailed to your home for FREE!  Now you can see the quality of the fabric and test out the rubber backing and actually see that it DOES NOT MOVE! That’s why I am personally ordering an Original Runner for my own wedding next summer.  I love the fact that I don’t have to worry about slipping on my runway or tripping on the fabric.  The rubber backing truly keeps the runners sturdy and in-place.  I am able to choose from a variety of colors, fabrics, patters, and textures and even put a customized monogram or design.  My options are endless!
