Chair Cover Story

Each bride we meet planning a wedding at a hotel or conference center has the same complaint. "The Chairs are awful" The reality is that the chairs are selected for corporate comfort and not for wedding elegance. The bride's initial idea is to replace the chairs with wonderful Chiavari Chairs, however, after discovering not only the added cost to rent the chairs she discovers there is also a fee to deliver the chairs and then a fee charged by the venue to set the chairs. Many brides find that this is out of their budget. Next they start looking at chair covers. At this point the question is what type of covers and this is where the fun begins!

Standard White Cover w/Colored Sash

This cover style will fit most banquet chairs, however, you will want to bring a sample to your venue to test prior to you event as these are not "one size fits all". These are the least pricey option at only $3 - $4 per cover & sash combo.


Rent these covers locally from bride-to-be Shaina Spoone at www.dovelinen.com

Pillow Case Covers


These covers are a sure thing for any banquet chair. I have yet to see a chair we can not cover with this fabulous design! If you venue says "Chair Covers will not fit on our chairs" introduce them to the pillow cover. These pieces come in a range of colors and fabrics. If you are a crafty bride you may even be able to make these on your own. Although these are not the type of covers that work well with a sash; Once tied the covers can be adorned with all sorts of creative accents. These covers will dent your wallet a little more at $4.50 - $6.50.

Spandex Chair Covers
Finally, we have the Spandex Chair Covers. this gives a more modern feel to your vent with clean lines and a snug fit. Given the flexibility of the covers these will fit on most chairs, but, as with the standard chair cover I recommend trying a sample on your venue chair before your wedding day.
