Tips To Create Unique Wedding Chair Covers

Whether wedding chair covers are used, trimmings are added, or the two are combined, the results when you decorate your venue chairs will be fantastic. While wedding chair covers instantly and easily beautify venue chairs, other decorations can work wonders as well. Plain white or ivory covers work as a ready canvas for your wedding colours. Decorative accents may include greenery, flowers, or festive ornaments. With so many choices, one thing is certain - no wedding venue has to be spoilt by unsightly, unattractive chairs.

Ribbons and Bows

Ribbons are a great way to dress up your wedding chair covers. A lone band of ribbon may be used for a modern and orderly effect, while multiple bands of ribbons can give a more dreamy appearance to your wedding chair covers. Simple bows can have an extremely striking effect when placed as an accessory for wedding chair covers. Large bows can be used to signify the important tables, or can simply be placed on every chair. Available in every shade you can imagine, ribbons, bows and sashes are a simple, effective way to bring in colour and add interest, particularly if the rest of your wedding linen is white.

Fabric

Fabric strips and sashes can be used much like ribbons can. Having a band of draped fabric on the back of a chair in a different colour can add a classy look to a wedding chair cover. Cut a wide length of fabric in a colour or pattern that suits your theme and drape it softly from the chair back or tie it in a snug band in a ruffled or pleated effect. Instead, two toned fabric could be pulled in a diagonal sweep across the chair.

Pillows

Use decorative throw pillows, or smaller pillows that you can cover with materials to match your theme or wedding colours. This idea offers comfort as well as style, though it is perhaps only appropriate for less formal weddings.

Flowers

Flowers could be used on the backs of your wedding chair covers, adding a dash of colour. Flowers that match in with the centrepieces could be slipped into chair bows or sashes. Instead, ask your florist about creating floral chair backs to co-ordinate with your floral table centres. If your budget does not stretch to a floral garland for each guest, then just decorate the chairs at your top table. Otherwise, you may want to think about using artificial flowers. Instead of garlands you could use mini posies and hang them from the chairs with ribbons. Attaching a single flower to the side of the chair with a decorative ribbon is a very subtle way to style an informal wedding.

Personalising

Draw attention to the bride and grooms chairs by adding their initials to the covers or sashes in embroidered letters. Personalise each chair with the name of the guest assigned to that seat. This will create a more contemporary reception look as your tables can be less cluttered; just tie your place name tags to the backs of chairs. Make sure you use a bold colour and clear handwriting so that guests can find their place setting effortlessly.

Themes

If you have a theme, rather than a simple colour scheme for your wedding decoration, the possibilities are endless when it comes to your chairs. Snow flakes are great for winter theme weddings while spring flowers can be used for a fresh look in March. Dazzling, vibrant colours work well in summer for wedding chair covers and autumn foliage can be used to add warmth to your wedding venue.
