What comes to mind when you think of seating at a ceremony or reception? Folding chairs can be an attractive option because they are lightweight and easy to maneuver. Plus, they come in a wide range of color and materials, like vinyl, metal and upholstered. Durable, they will hold up well to the elements, which make them an excellent choice for outdoor ceremonies and receptions alike.
While folding chairs have their advantages, you’re not limited to this option. Stackable chairs are comfortable, ergonomic, and structurally solid, which means they’re ideal for more extended periods of sitting. The feature of a padded seat also adds another dimension of comfort. Mostly, you will get much more style and design from a stackable option enabling you to enhance your overall theme.
It should be mentioned that the guest list may dictate your choice of chairs, at least in part. For example, if you have older and/or disabled guests, they may require special consideration. Try to put yourself in their shoes. What would serve them best?
Some brides dream of a rustic and simple motif, while others aspire to host a black-tie affair that screams of sophistication. For the former, you might consider the Cross Back Barn chairs or Rustic Metal chairs, which will contribute to a more relaxed vibe. A more upscale occasion will command a more refined look. In this case, Chiavari chairs, in mahogany, gold, or silver, will fit the bill. These Chiavari chairs have elegance, sophistication, and style.
Your options may be more limited or numerous, depending on the location of your ceremony and/or reception. For example, churches/reception halls will likely have some basic inventory and you may not have much say in the specifics. Other venues, however, may allow for more choice on the part of the bride and groom. It’s important to mention that while some facilities may provide basic chairs as part of the fee, they will grant the use of rental chairs instead. Moreover, some places don’t keep chairs on-site, so you may have to rent from a third-party source like AAYS Event Rentals.
Regardless of your chair selection, don’t get too hung up on the details. The day is about you as a couple and your love. The chairs will take a backseat (pun intended) to the occasion. Still, it’s fun to plan and dream up all the details. Know that we at AAYS Event Rentals are here to help you along the way. Stop by our showroom and we’ll walk you through some remarkable options!!
So much time is spent on the seating arrangements that people hardly think about the actual chairs! But this important choice in furniture sets the tone for your ceremony and your reception. Your guests will spend most of the ceremony and dinner in one. They’ll inevitably be in your wedding photos. Oh, and they take up a lot of space. Bottom line: chairs are critical, and you’ve got options. Which kind will you choose? Pull up a chair and take a seat. We’re covering all you need to know when picking a seating option.
Instant Parisian café flourish. These chairs pair well with venues that are equally winsome. If you want something less-Eurocentric but still relaxed, see slotted chairs.
Perhaps you’ve seen chameleon chairs at wedding ceremonies and receptions without even realizing it. These seats are covered with fabric so that they blend in with the wedding venue, but we think chameleon chairs without covers are worth considering too! (They’re also reportedly the most comfortable chair . . . )
Chiavari chairs are the wedding chair of choice right now, but they have always been en vogue. Jackie and John F. Kennedy had Chiavari chairs at their 1953 reception. Typically made out of faux-bamboo, they have a very classic look. Mahogany, black, white Chiavaris are neutral colors that most of these chairs already come in, but you can customize the chair further with covers and cushions. These look great indoors and out.
How rustic! Crossback chairs are also known as “vineyard chairs.” Pair these with cream-colored cushions and your wedding might as well be in the wine country.
Modern and sleek, it is easy to see the appeal of ghost chairs. (Especially since they photograph so well!) But we see right through these chairs! They may look great, but they are not the most comfortable chair for your guests . . . and might possibly be the most overdone trend. Beware the ghost chair . . .
Let your guests eat cake while they sit in these chairs! We also like cane back chairs for a more understated look.
Not an obvious wedding chair, but still an option nonetheless. While these chairs elevate your wedding to retro and eclectic levels, they certainly won’t elevate your guests. This is definitely a case of form over function because while they don’t feel great—they definitely make a statement.
The Tolix chair was invented by Xavier Pauchard. He was born in the late 1800s in heart of France, and he, his father, and grandfather were all zinc roofers. They’re a favorite if you’re going for an industrial chic feel.
A solid choice for a couple on a budget.
An unexpected choice in a guide to wedding chairs, but benches and couches are great seating options! Benches are surprising picks that instantly make your wedding feel intimate and casual. It may not be the most practical choice for any guests with back problems, so we recommend having an alternative option for the elderly available as well.
We also love the idea of couches at a ceremony. They look glamorous indoors and outdoors and guests can squeeze in on a sofa—the more, the merrier!
