Chair Sashes for Weddings: Understanding the Trend
The trend of using chair sashes for weddings sprung up from a need. Brides were unhappy with the chairs provided at their wedding venues. Either the aesthetic was off, or they just felt the chairs were unattractive. Renting outside chairs is a large expense, however, and most brides prefer to spend their money on making memories.
As a compromise, chair covers became a popular option. Spandex chair covers stretch to add classy uniformity to chairs of nearly any shape and size. Rather than drawing the eye in a negative way, the chairs fade into the background.
Renting chair covers would prove to be far less expensive than renting furniture. Brides found they consistently improved everything from event ambiance to photos of the event. In fact, some venues now automatically include chair covers with a venue rental.
From there, some creative brides decided they didn’t want their chairs to look neutral or “disappear” into the background. They began incorporating chair sashes into their wedding décor. Giant bows add a touch of color and elegance to chairs with and without covers. They are girly and delicate and allow brides to easily incorporate their theme.
Are Chair Sashes for Weddings Worth the Money?
Whether or not chair sashes are worth it depends on your priorities. Take a look at your wedding budget. Can you justify chair sashes under linens or décor?
One affordable option is looking into wedding chair sashes for rent. Rental is a seamless and affordable option for many couples. You can often rent sashes for under $2 per sash.
Plus, there’s no need to worry about storage or reselling after the event is over. Simply send your sashes back when you’re done, no laundering required.
If you’re in love with the idea of chair sashes for weddings, rental might be the right option.
To decide if you should rent chair sashes for your wedding, ask yourself the following questions:
- How many chairs will there be, and can I justify the cost per chair?
- Is it feasible to use the chair sashes at both the ceremony and reception?
- How important are event aesthetics, and would I be disappointed without them?
- Would chair sashes add more charm to my venue and improve the look of my wedding photos?
- Do I have a clear and unique theme that would shine if I added chair sashes?
Ultimately, whether to incorporate chair sashes into your wedding depends on your budget and personal priorities. Every bride is different, so trust your gut! You only get one wedding, so if you love the look, make it happen!
Choosing the Perfect Chair Sashes for Your Wedding
Here are a few of the most common questions we get about choosing chair sashes for weddings.
What Size Is a Chair Sash?
Most chair sashes are adjustable and “one-size-fits-all.” You’ll commonly find chair sashes that are 108 inches long and 8 inches wide (or 274 cm long and 20 cm wide). If you have questions about whether a certain sash will work with your chairs, reach out to your rental company. They have extensive event experience and will be happy to help!
How Do I Choose a Chair Sash Color?
You really can’t go wrong with white chair sashes for a wedding! If nothing else, they will always match the bride!
If you’d prefer a pop of color, consider contrasting with your chair covers or matching your table runners. You can also choose a color from your wedding color palette, especially if it appears in your flowers or other décor. It can bring out the subtleties and make everything pop!
Can I Accessorize my Chair Sashes?
Yes! You can dress up these big, beautiful bows with a sprig of greenery, a floral element, or a little bit of sparkle. It’s a great way to bring in other wedding colors and keep things gorgeous and cohesive!
How Do I Keep Chair Sashes from Slipping?
Most of the time, if you tie your chair sash snugly around the chair, it shouldn’t slip. If you’re still having a problem, consider pinning your sashes to your chair covers to keep them firmly in place. You might also be able to find dedicated chair sash clips to help keep everything looking uniform. Most brides who rent from us don’t seem to have a problem, however!
