Chair cover. Yes or no?

Brewedwithlove2016, on January 20, 2016 at 12:39 PM Posted in Planning 0 28

Hey everyone! I am trying to decide whether to use chair covers or not. I brought some already, but they don't fit and now I am not sure if I even like the look of chair covers. I do have turquoise table overlays and the table cloth is going to be white. I just don't know if it will look bad without the chair covers. That is what the chairs look like, but my tables will look different.

    I don't think you need them, but I found that they really pulled our color scheme together. I like them, but I think if you need to cut something this is one that won't affect your guests' experience.

    Not worth the cost. Your guests will not remember what the chairs looked like.

    I don't really like chair covers (or as H calls them, chair condoms). I hate them so much that our biggest wedding splurge was on chiavari chairs because I hated our venue's chairs so much. I actually think the room looks fine without anything on the chairs!

    I think it is fine without them. I personally do not like chair covers.

    I guess it depends if you like your chairs or not. I personally don't like chair covers. But, if the chairs are unsightly or don't go I would cover them.

    I agree with everyone else, I personally do not like them. I think your chairs are super nice/neutral and shouldn't need covered. The only thing I can think of was if you wanted to add more of your color scheme you could add a ribbon or sash to the top, but still think that's pretty unnecessary.

    I honestly don't think it looks bad at all without the chair covers. I actually don't like chair covers and my venue includes them... i wish they'd just update their chairs and not use covers at all Smiley sad

    I guess I'm in the minority here! I admit that they can be annoying. At our wedding I did catch my heel in mine a few times. I like them for adding color, but I agree with PPs your chairs look nice and your space will be fine without.

    Chair covers are not needed. Those chairs look good.

    Not necessary, and if you're decorating yourself they're a royal PITA!!! I was considering them, and then had to help set up for a banquet a couple months ago. We put chair covers on roughly 400 chairs. Nope, nope, nope. There are better uses of time and money!

    I don't think they're worth the cost. Our room looked great without them.

    At $5 a chair per person for our venue, we are not getting them and using the money to upgrade our bar Smiley smile FI and I went through every wedding we have been to and could not remember what kind of chairs were used. I say save the money!

    I don't like chair covers. I think it makes the room look too overdone. I'm more of a simple person. And unless the chairs are bright orange and your colors are blue and pink then its not really needed. I think those chairs are fine and most people won't notice or remember.
