Its amazing how a few finishing touches can transform the look of your reception. Linens and chair covers are one of the main focal points in decorating your reception site and can truly turn a plain, drab room into a well coordinated, elegant and dramatic work of art.
Once considered an expensive luxury, chair covers are now very affordable and are available from companies who specialize in providing these linens for weddings. Look for a company who offers quality, wrinkle-free fabrics, a variety of colors, and covers to fit different types of chairs.
Your chair covers can coordinate with the bridesmaids dresses or your flowers and centerpieces. Combining traditional white or ivory chair covers and table linens with different color overlays and bows will give your reception that designer look. If you are using the table linens provided by your reception site, its important to coordinate colors. If youre thinking white chair covers to coordinate with your dress and the hotel only provides ivory linens, you may want to rent all your linens from the same company.
Typically, chair covers are available in polyester and damask fabrics. Organza or damask overlays that go over the full length tablecloth add color and design to the table.
Organza and satin are the preferred fabric choice for chair cover bows and give a more professional look than polyester.
Make sure you find out what style of chair is offered by your reception site. Your chair cover specialist will need to know if the chairs are stacking or folding, if they have a round or square back, and whether they are plastic or metal.
The size of the table is also an important factor a 60 inch round or rectangular table seats 8 to 10 people, while a 72 inch table will accommodate 10 to 12 guests. Tablecloths and overlays are available in a variety of sizes to fit different table styles.
Think about the season when planning the colors for your reception. Lovely, soft pinks, blues, yellows, lavenders or greens will give the reception a light, airy spring feeling.
Deep, rich burgundy, copper, green or burnt orange will give a warm but vibrant feeling to the room.
Highlighting the holiday season always adds a festive touch to your reception. Intense reds, greens and gold will bring the joy of the season to your special day.
Coordinating black and white table linens and chair covers creates a classic and elegant look for a formal reception.
The chair cover and table linen specialist can offer a myriad of choices to help you make your reception the stylish, elegant and magical affair youve been dreaming of.
