I need to go on record in admitting I hate chair covers & sashes. I think they are ugly. I prefer chiavari chairs. Cate's venue provides chair covers as part of the pkg. However, they do not provide the sashes. Cate & her FH fell in love w/ the look & on Black Friday of 2011 bought 170 of the pale pink suckers from linentablecloths.com.
When they arrived, I checked the color & count, & put them aside. In the box they have sat since then. That was a huge mistake. If you have sashes, remove them from their packages & let them hang on hangers in your basement or near a source of heat. I have started the biggest PIA proj of this wedding, the steaming of the sashes! It is a daunting task & I hate it. A few tips:
1. Fold each in 1/2 & steam them on the ironing board. Steamer prefered
3. Put them 2 at a time, next to each other on a hanger. When the hanger is filled use a clothes pin to hold them on to the hanger.
4. Store them in a gown garment bag.
UGG, what a job!
