Hey Girlies!

Just been looking for companys who I may hire chair covers and sashes from around the lake district, but there are only a few, and they're really expensive! Cheapest I've found is £2.35 per chair, coming to £141 total. £141 that could be put towards something else I am thinking.

Does anyone else have any ideas how to get around them. My venues chairs aren't to bad, I just think they really finish the room off, and it would look a bit bare without them.


Ideas ideas ideas :) xxx

We aren't having covers, as we are hiring the chairs that we want. But instead of chair covers you could make some small pomanders to tie on the backs of the chairs, or (and I know I always suggest this) you could make paper pom-poms which are cheap and easy to make and look great, I have made 6 big ones for hanging in our small marquee and have some pics in my album. xx

Thanks girls, think I just need a few people to reassure me without is fine lol. Maybe I could just have some sort of bows :/

im not going to bother with chair covers. dont get me wrong that look lovely with them but at the end of the day it is just a chair. ur money could be used else where xx

We're having chair covers for our civil ceremony but whilst we're having piccies taken, they're going to move the chairs through to the reception room to save us paying for 2 lots! I was thinking of putting a little flower arrangement on each chair at either side of the aisle but might have to cancel that as it could bump the cost up.

Could you just do chair covers for the top table?

........... and unless you have a cloak room, half the chairs will be covered with bags and cardigans, coats and what not!

Kimmie I have just made a album with a couple of ideas using sashes without the covers. Hope these are of some help to you :) x

Kazza, thats a good idea with the thicker ribbon!

I have added a picture to my albums of what the chairs at my venue are like. They're not bad. Just clashing BIG TIME with my colour scheme of turquoise and purple :(

With they chairs I would use the thick ribbon over the backs. Being honest tho I think ppl at the wedding will be more interested in seeing how gorgeous you look on the day to notice the colour of the chairs :) x

Thanks for that Kazza.I don't like the chairs at my venue but can't afford the covers so your sash ideas are great. xx
