Imagine walking into a reception venue and seeing uncovered plastic hired chairs or worse still, hard upholstered chairs in colors that clash with the wedding décor. Nothing can be as disastrous as blue or magenta seats when your wedding colors are a combination of ivory and white or just plain gold all over.

With wedding chair covers you can concentrate on the other aspects of the reception venue without worrying about the type of chairs that will be provided. Whether you choose to buy or hire them, wedding chair covers offer you the perfect way to cover up the original shape and color of the chairs and tie in all your wedding decor elements without having to spend a fortune.

Versatile Chair Covers

Chair covers are undoubtedly versatile. They allow you to create or re-create the total atmosphere in the room to one that suits the tone and mood of your reception.

Chair covers in ivory or white satin will complement and enhance any traditional wedding decor whereas chair covers in floral prints or crisp white cotton can make the outdoors look even more refreshing at any garden wedding reception.

Chair covers in red and white or pink and white are the ideal complement to any Valentines Day Wedding while chair covers in red, green and gold would look stunning at a Christmas wedding venue.

All it takes is the correct choice, color and styling of fabric to achieve just about any look you wish with chair covers.

Chair Cover Hire: Value For Money

Unlike most of the other wedding décor details where you have to sweat over the little details yourself, chair covers can easily be hired without detracting from the personal aspect of the wedding décor. Chair cover hire companies offer an amazing wide array of chair covers in a stunning range of fabrics and designs to suit any wedding theme décor and any style of chair. If you cannot find what you are looking for, you can get it custom-made to your preference and in the colors of your choice, for you at a small fee.

The best part about using wedding chair covers is that they offer you tremendous value for money. Considering the dramatic impact they create, wedding chair covers are relatively cheap to hire when compared to the other wedding décor elements.

What’s more, when you hire chair covers, the company you are hiring from, will almost always include a set up and tear down service, including the ever-so-intricate sash tying service, so you have that much less to worry about on your wedding day.

Wedding decorations are the most significant part of your overall wedding theme. Not only do the wedding decorations you choose reflect your personality but they also create the mood and ambiance of your wedding and present your guests with a setting that is beautiful and memorable. Running the gamut from formal and traditional to casual and modern, whether you choose a simple affair or an elaborate one; the right decorations add drama and style to any wedding.

There are no rigid rules when it comes to wedding decorations. It all depends upon your personal tastes and the type of wedding atmosphere you wish to create. Is it a formal night time affair in a ballroom or is a more casual daytime outdoor wedding? Do you want the atmosphere to exude old-world romance or do you want it to be more contemporary and casual?

Choosing the theme of the wedding

The best way to choose a wedding theme is to either go with something that both of you are passionate about or else go with the season or time of the year.

If both of you are passionate about a hobby, maybe you could reflect that in the wedding décor. You could start by creating a list of all the things you both enjoy, from sports and hobbies to animals or objects. Then eliminate items from your list until you are down to just two or three that could be put together easily yet tastefully, without breaking either your sanity or your budget.

Choosing the color scheme of the wedding

Once you’ve decided upon the theme, you have to now brain storm an appropriate color scheme. If you’ve decided to have a Valentine’s wedding, one of the most popular days for weddings,  you cannot deviate too far from the color scheme of red, white and pink and if you’ve decided to have a romantic Victorian wedding, any color is alright as long as it is white.

Creating the right atmosphere with your wedding decorations

While some themes have laid-down color schemes, there are other themes where you do not have to worry too much about any specific colors; you can just incorporate any color that happens to be your favorite. For some themes, such as a Hawaiian wedding or a nautical wedding, the color scheme plays a much smaller role. What is important however is incorporating the right elements of the theme in order to re-create the right atmosphere. Ropes, shells, starfish and lifebuoys are perfect for the nautical theme and a profusion of flowers in every color for the Hawaiian theme.

Whatever the theme or color scheme, it is important that you keep your wedding decorations simple and elegant. Small, simple touches do more to create a lasting visual statement rather than loud garish decorations that detract from the occasion rather than enhance it.

All bridal couples approach their wedding preparations quite differently from each other. Some couples decide that they would like to give their wedding an ultra-personal touch by doing everything themselves from creating handmade wedding invites to decorating the venue. Other couples prefer to delegate their wedding to experienced professionals in the field while they just supervise the overall preparations to make sure it meets their expectations.

Is any one way better than the other? Not really. Do-it-yourself wedding preparations give the wedding a warm, personal touch whereas professional wedding preparations help you achieve a perfectly coordinated look. Of course, a little bit of both would result in a wedding day that’s perfect in every way.

Meeting the Decorating Challenge

A bridal couple may have the best intentions behind their decision to undertake all wedding preparations themselves but it can be a daunting task indeed. There are innumerable little as well as large aspects to be dealt with and unless the couple has an army of family and friends to support and help them, it can be a herculean task.

This is more so when it comes to decorating the reception venue, which almost always can only be done last minute. A bridal couple who attempts to take on the venue decorating without any help is more than likely to be too tired to even enjoy their wedding day. Adding the personal touches is fine, but it’s best to leave the major tasks to professional decorators. Getting your chairs spiffed up for the occasion is one such task that is best delegated.

Creating the WOW Factor with Chair Covers

Chair covers impact the appearance of the entire room. With tucks and bows in shimmery satin and gossamer tulle, chair covers transform the appearance of a humble chair into an elegant addition to your wedding décor. Given the sea of chairs that are required at any wedding, beautifully decorated chairs can transform an otherwise regular room into a setting of grandeur and sophistication.

Chair Covers - Should you or shouldn’t you do it by yourself?

Chair covers are quite unlike any other decorating endeavor. For one thing, the sheer magnitude of the undertaking can be completely overwhelming. Consider the various steps involved in doing up chair covers- You need to first buy the required amount of fabric and get the chair covers sewn. Though this can be done in advance, dressing each chair individually with the cover, sash and bow can only be done earliest on the eve of the wedding day.

Is it worth doing all this by yourself? Factor in the cost of the fabric for the covers and the sashes, the time taken to sew each cover and dress each chair as well as the cleaning that will have to be done after the occasion. Doing chair covers by yourself could be hugely expensive in terms of time, money and stress.

Advantages of Chair Cover Hire

Most professional chair cover hiring companies will go to great lengths to match the wedding color scheme and will extend a full service that includes co-ordination with all the other parties involved with the reception. On D-Day they will deliver cleaned and ironed chair covers to the venue and will also dress up all the chairs allowing the bridal couple to enjoy their wonderful day without any stress.
