What to do, the venue we could afford was nothing special. It's the local community hall. I've done ballet classes, brownies and guides their, any magic it might have had has left the venue years ago. It's still used for children's groups and classes to this day. The whole place smells of feet!
Enter my friends, Netti, Susan and Anne. What a wonderful bunch, I'd no idea they'd be so ingenious. Not only did they open up a whole new world of possibilities, they also took up the ideas and ran with them.
Netti had the idea of colour theming the wedding project. We went off to the college library and started looking through the colour magazines. That was fun, I'd no idea how much colour choices could change the whole look of an occasion. Finally we hit on a colour theme for the wedding. It was to be, base colour ‘ivory', with a main theme of ‘corn flower blue' with a contrasting ‘thistle' colour to set the whole thing off!
Lucy, my web surfing friend went off to research how to get the colours into the hall without breaking my little bank. She found a web based company that could hire out ivory chair covers for just two pounds each. What a brilliant idea, so simple and so effective. I'd have never thought of hiring chair covers but these chair covers were to make a dramatic difference to whole look of the wedding.
Susan had the idea of buying 10 metres of plain netting from the market and dyeing it ‘corn flower blue' to decorate the chair covers. As it happens this became her wedding present to us, now I have 50 blue sashes all cut and hemmed. Goodness they made all the difference. The chair covers were inspirational but the chair covers with the sashes was the icing on the cake!
The chair cover hire company, were very friendly and accommodating and happy to supply and fit the chair covers in good time for the day together with their beautiful sashes. They were also very efficient in collecting the covers after the big day, I didn't have to worry about a thing.
The chair covers completely transformed the venue. The care taken in the choice of the colours meant that the eye was drawn away from the hall and in towards the table and the wedding breakfast.
The chair covers and sashes brought together the colours in my flowers and the bridesmaids dresses. They also made the subtle lilac pinks of the iced roses on the wedding cake look beautiful. The chair covers and sashes transformed the dreary venue into my Dream wedding Breakfast. I'll always remember how romantic and special the occasion was. It just shows what a little bit of ingenuity and a whole lot of friendship can achieve when put together!
Tablecloths And Chair Covers
Every bride wants her wedding to be special and sophisticated, while showing her sense of style and reflect the theme or vision she has for her wedding. This is the reason why one of the most interesting developments in the wedding industry over the last few years is the large range of solutions regarding the style of weddings.
Chair covers are an excellent choice for any styling issue and this is why so many brides decide to hire such things to spice up their wedding reception.
Yes, this is an additional cost to the rest of the wedding expenses, but a good idea would be that of featuring the use of chair covers as part of the overall 'Venue Styling Budget', meaning that chair covers' prices should be under the same cost header as the floral displays and table decorations for your reception tables. So do not be afraid to spend a little less money on floral displays as you are working within a budget. The main reason for this is the fact that if the eye is simply drawn to a strange mixture of colors throughout the room, there is no use in having beautiful floral displays in there.
There are many types of chair covers available on the market, all falling into two main categories. The loose linen and the fitted ones. To speak about the loose linen chair covers, it's good to know that they fit standard metal framed banqueting chairs as well as wooden gilt framed chairs and are usually available in 2 sizes: medium and large. The colors are usually white, ivory or cream, but the range of available colors is extremely wide. On the other hand, fitted chair covers generally fit gilt banqueting chairs, but can fit steel framed depending on the dimensions of the chair.
No matter which ones you choose, the most important thing is to perfectly choose the accessories for them. Be it organza or satin bows, tie backs or sashes. The best best is to speak with the supplier, het their opinions as they may know a thing or two better than you do and probably advise you ont he best option since they are more experienced and will advise what available accessories is best fit to your scheme.
Do your research, there are competitive prices on the market today for chair covers. Also, do not worry if the cost seems a little higher than you expected, the chair cover is the one thing you will never regret as an addition to your wedding. The light it brings to your room is unbelievable and it would make your venue look so lavish it would end up looking like you spent a fortune decorating it. Above all, chair covers will help bring out the beauty of all the other decorations in the room which would never really have been noticed had the chair covers not been there. Think of the chair cover as one of thebiggets investments you'll ever make on a wedding or event, and would be happy to see in all the pictures taken, for years to come.
