Selecting Wedding Chair Covers for Your Reception
Nothing gives a grander and more magnificent appearance to a reception than wedding chair covers. Regardless of the style or type of material you choose, chair covers will definitely add greatly to the majesty of your wedding reception. Besides that they also serve other purposes.
A lot of couples will opt to rent many of their wedding supplies from a local rental store rather than buy them. While this saves money as with anything that is used over and over the items you get from the rental store may be a bit worn. Besides that the rental store may have purchased their inventory over the years from various suppliers so they may have three or four different style of chairs that they deliver to your reception. The only way to correct this is to use chair covers for the chairs to give them a uniform appearance.
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 decide that you want something other than linen tablecloths to decorate the tops of your tables you may want the chair cover to be made of a like material. For instance if you use a satin overlay or table runner you may also want to use a satin chair cover. Of course having the tablecloth material and chair cover material to match is not mandatory and I have seen beautiful tables using satin on the top of the table and a polyester chair cover. You can use just about any type of chair cover with just about any tablecloth, runner, overlay or napkin.
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.
Be sure that prior to the service you actually get a chair cover and try it on one of the chairs you will be using at the reception. Chair covers just like chairs come in different widths and lengths so be sure you have chair covers that fit you chairs. You do not want to find out on your wedding day that you cannot cover the chairs because the cover is not wide enough.
If you have decided that to have the perfect wedding you need to use chair covers then as with the other parts of your wedding be sure you select the ones you want early on and are sure they will fit.
