Ugly ceremony chairs!

FutureMrs17, on September 29, 2016 at 10:59 PM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 32

The venue has offered to let me use their older chairs for my reception but they're not the prettiest. I am not going to pay $300 to rent folding chairs so I'm stuck with these. Our ceremony is outside facing a golf course. Can anyone make any suggestions for how I can make them more attractive?...

Our ceremony is outside facing a golf course. Can anyone make any suggestions for how I can make them more attractive? Also our colors are magenta, Tiffany blue, and white so the green chairs don't match. Do you guys think that they're fine how they are?

    Leave them alone; don't do anything to draw attention to them. I couldnt' even tell you what the chairs looked like from my wedding last night.

    I hate chair covers ; they are usually creased, they look sloppy, and on a wood chair, they slide all over the place. Skip them.

    Another vote to leave them alone, they look just fine. I wouldn't stress about it. Do you remember any of the chairs from previous weddings you've attended?

    I think they are fine! I never ever notice the ceremony chairs, they will be filled and you won't even see them! The reception chairs same thing for the most part, and they are neutral so won't stand out at all.

    You are good, they could be so bad and yours aren't at all!

    I think both sets of chairs are fine. The ceremony chairs look way more comfortable than folding chairs. The reception chairs are nice, definitely don't waste money covering them up.

    I think the chairs are fine. No one is really going to notice.

    They're fine, especially just for the ceremony. Can you just stick with colors that match everything for the ceremony and then just use your wedding colors for the reception?

    Are you kidding? Those are gorgeous chairs. And far, far comfier than any rental chair you could get. Be considerate to your guests - use the venue's chairs.

    And if every stick of furniture matched your 'colors' it would be an awful visual. 'colors' are for accents, not spreading all over the place.

    Agree with most everyone - no chair covers! The ceremony chair looks comfortable and the reception chairs look nice too. I hate chair covers because I feel like they always are bunching up and being weird and it's annoying. I also hate how they cover under-neath the seat and then I can't put my feet under the chair if I lean forward.

    I actually don't mind the chairs. I think the covers covers look outdated. Honestly with the dance floor lights on and the lights dimmed for dinner, no one will notice them.

    Snaps for Centerpiece for articulating all my thoughts/hates on chair covers. Don't do it, ladies.
