Chairs in a banquet hall are an element that must be decorated at any wedding. Newlyweds may refuse to decorate tables with flowers, but chairs are decorated at almost every wedding. This is understandable, because the backs of the chairs are the first thing that catches your eye when entering the banquet hall.
What do we most often imagine when it comes to decorating a chair for a wedding? Something like this:
In this article we will talk about the main ways to beautifully decorate a chair at your celebration and try to convince you that a satin fabric bow is not the only possible option for decorating a chair and that this tradition, rooted in the 90s, no longer seems so relevant and attractive. Let's start with the fact that in 90 percent of restaurants, banquet chairs come complete with covers. Initially, this was not dictated by considerations of solemnity, as it might seem at first glance, but solely by considerations of practicality.
A cover is a great way to protect a beautiful and expensive chair from damage by drunk guests, or a way to hide an ugly chair, as is most often the case. So, how can we decorate a chair with a cover? Perhaps the most budget-friendly and unpretentious option is a thin satin ribbon. It will help you create the right color accent on the chairs. In the case of tapes, it is almost impossible to cross the line between brevity and vulgarity.
If you are lucky enough to book a restaurant with beautiful chairs that do not need to be hidden in a cover, then there are a lot of options for beautifully decorating such chairs. For lovers of delicate classics, delicate fabric veils for a chair are suitable.
Fabric bows look much better on an uncovered chair. But it is very important that they are made of matte fabric. It can be linen, cotton or chiffon.
Fabric “tails” on the chairs look gentle and airy.
New Year's chair covers
Another nice decor for any chair is special New Year's chair covers. You can buy ready-made ones, make them to order or sew them yourself - it all depends on the degree of your laziness. The easiest cover to make yourself is a Santa Claus hat. And we especially like penguins and snowmen. You'll see that children will be completely delighted with this decor. Well, any beautiful fabric wrapped around a chair and gathered at the back onto a brooch can serve as a replacement for the cover - this is easy to create with your own hands. All these and other types of cases are collected in our photos.
