Decisions - What Chairs Do I Want at My Reception?

Today your decision is chairs, what chairs do you want at your wedding reception. I’ve had brides tell me on more than one occasion, “I never even thought about chairs before”. Well yes my lovely brides, chairs are a very big decision both esthetically and budget wise.

So what are the choices? Well there is always the standard ballroom chair that is probably included in your venue package.

There is the plastic rental chair, next to the “included in the package chair”, your cheapest rental alternative. Be warned even though they may say white on the description it is more of an ivory color.

Then we move up to the garden chair. Actually they are a much better choice than the plastic chair in every way except budget. They are not only better looking, but come in a choice of colors, white, natural, and black.  When these chairs are placed on the ground they do not sink or wobble.

Then we move up to the chiavari chairs. These beautiful chairs come in silver, black, white, natural and mahogany. While the most esthetically pleasing they are also the more expensive. Not only do you need to rent the chair, you must rent the cushion and pay to have the cushion tied in place.

Now if budget is no object then you can have the chairs known as ghost chairs. While their claim to fame is that they just disappear in a room making it all about the décor, they do not just disappear in your budget.

So which look says dream wedding to you?
