Im not having chair covers, I havent really factored the cost in. It annoys me that venues have crappy chairs so you have to use covers! I think most venues have a recommended suppliers for covers and sashes. Im thinking they cost about £2 each? But I could be way off mark here!

If they are only £2 I wont mind too much....I'd only need 24! but any more than that and they can sit on scruffy chairs!
joking aside, i doubt the chairs ARE scruffy.

I seem to think they are like this.....

The chairs are ok at our venue but thought they looked a bit too plain so they'll have white covers and gold bows on the back of them. The chairs in your pic look fine

Our chairs are nice and don't need covers. I do like covers and sashes but it was going to cost about £200 and h2b thinks it's a big waste of money. My SIL had her reception at the same venue and I never even noticed that she didn't have chair covers and sashes. Its quite a new thing to get us to cough up more money I think ;)

Well the chairs in the above picture are from our venue, and I dont think they are too bad....the dining room chairs are better though but i doubt we could ask for those! LOL

We have chair covers included in the price but a lady we are getting a lot of stationary and balloons sells them for about £2 each with the bows xx

i'm having chair covers cos i love them :) im having my wedding at mine n my partners work place n plus i love it there and easier for all our friends to join in the party after closing the other bar to the public. it depends massively on prices for them ranging from £1.20 to bout £3.50 more higher in diff areas, just need to search for ur area if u want them, the reason i use chair covers is it naturalises the room as the room is red and navy and my wedding is ocean blue n yellow so the more u naturalise it the better :) my engagement party was gorgeous n i didnt have chair covers cos i wanted them for my wedding. but its a personal thing chair covers and as its becoming popular venus are starting to add them on to the wedding price and saying they r included :) but i love them lol xxx

Oh. maybe they include them then I dont know? or maybe the bride and groom hired them from an outside supplier ...I will ask when I go to see her.

Our venue have standard red chairs, but they dont match what i want the overall look to be, they wanted to charge us £4 per chair, and i need 100 of the pests!..i said to the co-ordinator that i could get them cheaper,,,,,she argued the toss on it!lol i won...im using a company who come to set it all up for me, do the bows etc, and next morning take them all down again - i dont do a thing ...all for £2 per chair! xx

Maybe I have issues... You do make me laugh :-)
Well said regarding the atmosphere - so true.

hi there , id love chair covers but my venue charges £3 each chair , the problem is im having cadbury purple ,and the venue have said they cant get table linnen that colour so ive either to have lilac or sort them out myself . so we getting the table cloths so cant afford chair covers . I wouldnt mind but ive got to even sort out napkins xx

We're having spandex chair covers and managed to get a FANTASTIC deal with a venue dresser. She let us put a customised package together and she will be dressing the venue and reception room (inc spandex chair covers!) for just under £600. WE are getting alot for our money and I think the chair covers worked out around £1.75 each but I could be wrong. Let me know if you want the details of the company. They're located in birmingham but will travel all over UK - they were recommended to me by a friend and Im so glad I enquired!

xXx

I love chair covers they look so nice and can really finish off the room however do not like their price :( thinking of just having them for the top table. The price is well over the top and no need. Its like the actual traditions are being forgotten. x

We didn't have chair covers. Tbh we didn't want them - but luckily the chairs in the venue were actually blue, which matches our colour scheme anyway. I think if a venue has scruffy chairs I'd be worried about using the venue anyway - as if it's a good venue they're going to have decent furnishings (including chairs) anyway.

I was thinking about it and even got chair sashes but we are no longer going to bother as the chairs are nice.

I always wanted chair covers, but tbh its an extra un-needed expense

Chair covers and sashes are just an extra spend which aren't really necessary unless the venue supply them for free,
which in most cases they don't if your spending £12,000 on your wedding. As my theme is green and cream I've bought
lovely organza chair sashes in cream as the chairs are green velour so looks nice with either a fake large flower or
a brooch. There is no way I would spend £3.99 per chair as the total cost is £259.35 for the 65 quests.

I won mine in a competition on fb but the woman doing them charges £1.50 per cover plus sash my venue wanted £3.50 each I was like hell no!!!

I think chair covers are a bit silly, too, but I think we'll end up having them because hotels never seem to have enough nice chairs for big wedding parties and it would be a bit odd if only some of the chairs were covered I suppose...I don't know...going to see the venue on Sunday morning so will have a look at their chairs!

our charicovers are costing £2.16 a chair but thats with discount as its a friend of a friend, it should be £2.40 a chair she is the cheapest in our area without it looking awful and untidy. Plus the chaircovers we are having are lycra so they will look neater anyway.

ive been quoted up to £3.50 a chair!!

We're having them for the ceremony but not the reception as the chairs in the ceremony venue are black and I think the room looks quite dark with them. I've seen lots of different prices from about £1.50 to £4, no idea why they are so different though!

was quoted initially £5 per chair from venue, got them down to £3.50 per chair but with the high possibility the prices will increase in the Autumn, but just had a quote from the people who are doing our DJ, Starlight backdrop and a few other decorations for £3 per chair. Could get them for £2.50 from another supplier (that i don't know) - but at a difference of only about £35 i'd rather have them done by someone i know and is doing other things for us as well!

dont get sucked in by businesses which do them for a £1 i did and got my hands burnt im glad im not using her now. she messed me about said one minute it was £20 deposit which i paid and then rang me up and said it was £50 deposit then i need to hire tablecloths aswell and she quoted me £260 to hire 7 table cloths!! i soon changed which lady i was using now i have a fantastic chair cover lady and she is doing them for £2.16 but id rather pay that little extra and know she is going to be around in 2013 and she isnt just a one time wonder as she has bookings up to 2014 and i trust that she will turn up whereas this other lady for £1 a chair i was doubting she would turn up and wedding planning is stressful enough without having to worry about that xx

We wern't going to bother with chair covers but then i realised the chairs at our venue are a dusky pink colour which really doesn't go with the navy we are having. I need 100 and the quotes we were getting were horrendous. I hunted high and low and eventually found someone to come set it up, take it away, chair cover & sash all for £1.50 a chair and i was happy with that :)
