Typical costs: | - On the low end, aisle runners typically cost less than $100 for a basic off-the-shelf runner made of plastic or cloth. For example, on Amazon.com, aisle runners[1] cost from less than $10 to more than $100. At David's Bridal, aisle runners[2] cost from a little over $30 to just under $100.
- In the mid-range, aisle runners typically cost $100-$400 for a longer, wider runner made of deluxe fabric and personalized with a custom-designed monogram, names and/or a saying. For example, at I Do Originals, a 100' aisle runner with an ornate, personalized monogram[3] costs $205. Adding a verse of up to six words costs $115 extra for a 25' runner and up to $160 extra for a 100' runner. Each additional word costs $10. So, total cost could reach $365 or more.
- On the high end, an aisle runner can cost $500-$2,000 or more for a runner in a custom length and deluxe fabric, embellished by hand. For example, at OriginalRunners.com, an aisle runner hand-decorated with Swarovski crystals[4] and custom cut to a specified length starts at $500. And aisle runners from Petal Happy[5] , embellished with faux rose petals, cost $500-$2,200 or more, depending on length and width.
