Some more hip rental companies have been offering the chairs in custom colors for some time…but lucite? I was on a flight back to Raleigh when I first opened House Beautiful and saw this lovely staring back at me. When I showed my hubby and exclaimed “WE NEED THIS” he quickly reminded me that a. we are already married and have no need for chiavari anything (boo!) and b. I’m on the verge of living in an all lucite world. Did I mention I own a...

Chiavari Chairs vs. Chair CoversWe are just curious about what look you like better ? Personally I think the chiavari chairs do make your event much more elegant but they also come with a larger pricetag. Chair Covers really do finish your reception room off as well and are a less expensive choice. It is all up to your budget and personal taste. A few tips though no matter which route you go. Please remember that cheaper is not always better. In my 12 years experience I have seen a LOT of problems with both of these options. From paint missing and chips out of the wood chairs to stained seat cushions. Make sure to meet with ...

Wedding Word Wednesday: Chiavari ChairMost venues offer standard banquet chairs which are covered with a chair cover and sash for weddings and social events. Chiavari chairs are usually an upgrade and can cost anywhere from $7-$12 per chair. These chairs are typically made from wood but can be made from resin and metal as well.

Chiavari Wedding Chair Covers - To Die For!In an earlier post regarding wedding chair covers, I mentioned that I wouldn't dream of covering a chiavari chair. I felt that the styling of this chair was elegant enough to stand on its own and only required minimal enhancement. Well after taking a gander at these exquisitely covered chiavari chairs by Preston Bailey, I stand corrected. The chiavari chair's elegance can't compare to these beautiful covers. Don't you just love Preston's use of tissue bells?Visit us at ThingsFestive.com...

Chameleon ChairsOne of my recent posts was about different types of chairs that can be used for your wedding. After reading my post, Monica, from Detail and Design, sent me a picture of another type of wedding chair that Wedding Planners and brides should know about: The Chameleon Chair.

Here are just a few ways the Chameleon Chair can be customized: ...
