We’re not ones to dictate when a trend is over, but one exception stands out – traditional chair covers with fancy bows. While some may adore them, we think it’s time for something fresh and bespoke. We’ve gathered 32 innovative ideas to prove that there are more creative and fun ways to dress up your wedding chairs.
Creative Ways To Decorate Chairs
When it comes to wedding seating arrangements, often the smallest details can make a significant impact. Whether you’re dressing up the back row of your ceremony or adding flair to reception chairs, individual chair decor has the power to elevate the overall aesthetic of your special day. For smaller gatherings, this type of detailing is particularly noteworthy, as it adds a personal touch that guests will appreciate.
On the other hand, larger weddings can also benefit from subtle accents on specific seats, which can create visual interest amidst the sea of chairs and tables. With an array of options at your disposal – including foliage, flowers, signage, ribbons, and fabric – deciding on the perfect chair decor may seem overwhelming. To inspire you as you plan your wedding seating arrangements, we’ve curated a selection of ideas to get you started. Be sure to bookmark your favourites for future reference.
