To Cover or Not to Cover

Well, the answer to that is an easy one….COVER! Chair covers are the ultimate decor element. They uniform the room, they allow you to add colour as needed and they’re look can be personalized to suit your wedding or event theme. Plus, since they add lots of decor at eye level, they really are the only decor necessary aside from a nice centrepiece. Everything else is just fluff.

Here are some true life examples from some real weddings before and after the chair cover effect. No words required.

A cover is a cover is a cover, right?

WRONG! The cover must suit the size and shape of the chair and unfortunately, not all banquet chairs are created equal.

So, the chair covers are too small, will anyone really notice?

The answer to that is a resounding YES! The main reason for using chair covers is to unify the room in a coherent style and colour. If the main unifying factor lacks in its own appearance, it will instantly make your entire decor seem sloppy. Keep in mind, that the chair covers are at eye level and as a result, will be the decor element that your guests will notice first.

How to avoid a chair cover misfit?

There are many ways to avoid the unfortunate ill fitted cover. For one, you can ask your venue what style chairs they use for their events. If their response is “standard banquet chair”, do more research. All venues believe their chairs are “standard banquet chairs” but in reality, there are many different types of “standard banquet chairs” which result in different height, and width dimensions.

So, then you must ask the venue if they could be more specific. For example, are their chairs round backs, crown backs, square backs, high backs etc. Armed with this information, you can approach a reputable chair cover supplier to inquire if they carry chair covers for the specific chair you are trying to cover.

And, finally, do an on site fitting. Make sure you know what you’re getting before your wedding day. No one likes surprises on the big day!
