Have you booked your wedding or event venue space, but the chairs (but not chair covers) that are included in the package are not to your taste? This scenario is frequently encountered by brides and grooms, corporate event planners and other event professionals in their day-to-day lives. Ultimately, this is why we would always say that it makes perfect sense to hire event furniture rather than buy it, due to the fact that chairs and other furniture go out of fashion over time.
Spend a small fortune on buying chairs and tables now for your wedding venue, and you might find that in five years time, they are looking their age, from both a design, styling and colour point of view, as well as from the point of view of their condition. Constant wear and tear does take its toll, after all. Hiring chairs and furniture means that you don’t have this headache, and you can choose the chairs you want, in the right quantities, and so you only pay for what you need. Seems like a no-brainer to us…!
However, going back to the issue of brides and grooms and the chairs that aren’t in keeping with the look they want to achieve. If you’re thinking that you’re going to have to pay to hire a new set of chairs (and so, in essence, paying double), then you are mistaken.
A great way to glam up your chairs is by using chair covers and sashes. These are very affordable, and fit easily to almost any type of metal banqueting chair. There are four ‘feet’ sewn into the chair cover, into which the feet of the chair are placed, and the cover can then be fitted over the chair. Chair covers from Event Hire UK, for instance, are available in white or black stretch lycra. OK, so chair covers in general provide more of a wedding-style appearance than a corporate event setting, but there’s nothing to say that these have to be wedding-exclusive!
To go the extra mile, why stop at just the chair covers? You can also accessorise your chairs with coloured organza chair ties. Tie these in a bow or similar arrangement, and you’ve got fabulous looking furniture for a great price, and with minimal fuss.
In this picture, you can see that this is exactly what our clients decided to do for their wedding anniversary party for friends and family. Pictured at the stunning Holme Pierrepont Hall in Nottingham, this medieval Grade I listed building comes with high beamed ceilings, huge open fireplaces and more features and character than you could possibly imagine. What a wonderful setting.
And who would have thought that underneath the chair covers are some blue and gold steel-framed banqueting chairs…
