Wedding Chair Decorations

No detail should be overlooked at an elegant wedding. Often brides and grooms settle for the standard rental furniture made available at their venue. Rented chairs can be dreary and uninspired. Here are several suggestions for wedding chair decorations:


Add flowers


When developing a floral budget, include the price of adorning a wreath of flowers to the back of each chair at your wedding. Ivy can be interwoven with orchids or other flowers to create a beautiful floral display. Usually, flowers will be more expensive than greenery. A savings tip would be to save the elaborate floral wedding chair decorations for just the head table or perhaps only for the bride and groom.


Cover Up


Chair covers can be rented from most caterers or event planners. Make sure to see a sample cover prior to making your selection. The chair cover should match or compliment the table linens and flower arrangements. Insist that your chair covers are freshly laundered before the event.

For a smaller wedding, another option is to search out fabric and custom design your own chair covers. Be sure to build time into your wedding schedule to select fabric and have the work done by a seamstress.


Tulle is an elegant way to adorn a bland chair. About three yards of basic tulle are required to create a flowing drape over a chair. Gather the tulle bow in the back with a flower or spring of greenery.


Add Ribbon


Silk, velvet or grosgrain ribbon can be tied onto the chair backs to add color and style to outdated chairs. Opt for wide ribbon when creating these bows. A ribbon less than 3” in diameter will look too skimpy on a chair back.

To save money and time on ribbon wedding chair decorations, a ribbon-tying party can be coordinated a few weeks prior to your event. Call up your crafty friends and supply them with refreshments as they make bows. Carefully store the bows in plastic bags and deliver to your event manager prior to the event.


Balloons


This is an inexpensive and fun way to spruce up dull chairs. Select balloon colors that compliment the table linens. Try not to have more than two colors of balloons adorning the chairs. Also, don’t attach balloons to every chair at the venue—that would be overwhelming. Scatter the placement of balloons throughout the room, making sure not to block anyone’s view of the bride and groom.

Balloons can be delivered the day of the event and should be securely affixed to chairs. Balloons can be customized with print, but that tends to get a bit busy and call attention away from other wedding decorations. Windy venues are not suggested for balloon chair decorations! At the end of the event make sure to send some balloons home with the younger guests as wedding favors.

Remember, not every chair at the event need to be adorned to create an effective presentation. Alternating decorated chairs can save a wedding budget from going into distress.


A detail like the wedding chair decorations shouldn’t be overlooked. This is your big day to shine, so take time to research the best and most elegant seating options for your guests.
