Selecting Wedding Chair Covers for Your Reception
Ever notice those receptions where when you walk in everything looks perfect. Well one way to achieve this look is by using wedding chair covers on your chairs. No matter what material they are made from or the style in which they were made they will add a dramatic appearance to your wedding reception. In addition they may also be a mandatory addition to your reception depending on the condition of your chairs.
If you are planning to rent many of your wedding supplies versus buying them then chair covers are a wise investment. One big problem with chair rentals is that because a rental company makes money by using the same items over and over the chairs will get worn looking after a while. In addition you may find that they have bought rental chairs from several different companies and so you may get five or six slightly different chairs.
Because they come in different styles and materials they are very versatile and can be used in just about any reception setting. Most people choose to get white chair covers and then get a sash bow that is the same color as one of their primary wedding colors. Because of their whiteness they really help in getting the sash bow to stand out. Of course you can choose a white sash bow and have a monochrome look that does not detract from the other colors you use at the reception.
If you are going to be using a satin tablecloth or a satin runner or overlay many people try to use satin chair covers so that the look and feel is uniform for each table. I have seen receptions where they used a white polyester tablecloth with a colored satin overlay along with a white polyester chair cover and it looked spectacular. Because they come in different styles and materials, they work well with just about any combination of tablecloths, runners or overlays, and napkins.
If you are also planning on renting your chair covers then you need to make sure these all match or if that is not possible that you can find enough of the same shade to decorate one table. You may want to get the chair covers and sort them by shade and start on one side of the room with the whitest and work your way down to the more off white as you go across the room.
Make sure that prior to the reception you get a chair cover and you try it on several chairs to ensure it will fit properly. Chair covers, like chairs, are made in different widths and lengths and may not be the right size for the chairs you will be using. You do not want to find on your wedding day that all the chair covers you got will not work on the chairs.
Just as you will be checking on and planning other aspects of your wedding be sure that you choose the correct chair covers and that you check their sizing so you can have the perfect wedding.
