Chair Decorations
Do-It-Yourself Chair Decorations
Many weddings today are held outdoors. With an outdoor wedding
you are almost certain to be using chairs for the seating area.
Sometimes the chairs available for use are in good condition and
look presentable. Often times however, the chairs need a little
decorating help to get them ready for the ceremony. Chair
decorations should be easy enough to attach to the chairs in less
than an hour. Using these foolproof tips, you can get a handle on
your chair decorations in no time.
The best way to hide an ugly chair is to cover it. Covering a chair
can be the fastest way to make it look new again. To cover a chair
for a wedding you will need sheer fabric, safety pins, and wide
decorative ribbon. First, lay your fabric over the chair and cut
enough to hang over the chair and onto the floor. You will use more
fabric for the front than you did for the back, due to the seat.
After cutting the fabric and arranging it on the seat, simply tuck
the excess under the chair and safety pin if necessary. For a bride
with more time, you can remove the fabric, hem the edges, and put it
back on the chair. Finally, drape your wide ribbon around the front
of the chair and tie a large bow in the back of the chair. Stand
back and admire how quickly you transformed an ugly chair into a
beautiful seat.
If your chairs are lovely as they are, then you may consider just
dressing them up a bit. Using the same type of wide ribbon discussed
in the chair covering, you can add a bow to an already pretty chair.
By laying the ribbon around the back of the chair and tying a large
bow in the back, you can instantly dress up a plain chair. Wired
ribbon is great to use, as it will allow the bow to stay in place.
Draping flowered garland over the back of a chair is also a great
way to get it ready for the ceremony. Brides can attach the garland
using clear wire or fishing line. Remember however that guests will
be uncomfortable resting their backs directly on the garland, so be
careful of its placement.
Small bouquets of flowers work well for chair decoration too. To get
this look, tie together a small bouquet of flowers. Next, secure the
bouquet with a ribbon. Finally, attach the bouquet with wire or a
tiny hanger to the center of the chair’s back. In just a few minutes
you have created a beautiful decorative addition to your wedding.
Different styles of chairs may require different hanging methods,
however these ideas can be adapted to fit any chair. Chair
decorations are a great way to add that something extra to your
wedding ceremony. They allow the guests a beautiful place to sit
while enjoying your wonderful ceremony. Chair decorations are so
easy that you can put them together in no time with the help of
family and friends.
