Your invitations are sent, table placements are done, catering is sorted and your wedding dress fits like a dream. Your wedding is pretty much organised, right? Well nearly - when planning your reception it is important to pay attention to the small details, such as what type of wedding chair style you’ll have, in order to create the right atmosphere on your big day.
In the past, wedding chairs were often frumpy, stock standard covered seats that came with the venue hire. Nowadays, the type of chair you have does more than simply complement the tablescape, it also adds to the overall theme and style of your wedding.
Here’s a checklist of Event Marquees’ trending Wedding Chairs for 2015:
Cross-Back Chairs
Are you hosting a traditional wedding, but really a romantic at heart? The cross-back chair is perfect for those who want an elegant-rustic look to their wedding. The timber frame and rattan seat not only look great, but are very comfortable too - perfect for a long outdoor dinner under the stars. This style of seating looks at home both in an outdoor ‘country’ environment, as well as in a more conventional church setting.
Hot Tip! Get creative with the cross-back function of these chairs - decorate them with flowers or even a custom made “Mr” & “Mrs” hanging sign.
