The Beauty of Chair Treatments

The details of the reception are what make your wedding truly unique. From the cake to the place settings to the table cloths, everything you choose makes your wedding day special. And that is no different for the chair treatments. There are many different options, and we are here to share the ones we love the most!

Full chair cover

We love this option because there are so many different styles that you can choose to decorate with! From a simple slip cover to sheer lace to sequins – there are so many varieties! And you put a full cover on your chair or drape only the back of it.

Flowers

Another popular way to decorate chairs is with flowers! There are so many options to choose from when you decorate with flowers – you can make a wreathe, a simple swag or cover the whole back of the chair with them.
