bride and groom chairs at wedding

I was reading a post that reminded me - I don't care for those big wicker chairs...I would rather a normal chair and have tulle over it and tied with a big bow or something to that effect. Did anyone have chairs like that or do chairs like that for their wedding? If so do you have any pics I can look at for ideas? Thanks!

Re: bride and groom chairs at wedding

I don't know about decorating normal chairs, but I know that our hall offers the option of high-back, throne style chairs instead of the wicker ones (I didn't like them either)

Re: bride and groom chairs at wedding

We sat on the same chairs as our guests. Everyone had ivory chair covers with bows. Sorry, no pics scanned.

Re: bride and groom chairs at wedding

I think our hall has the big wicker ones. But I am cheesy and like them. But I doubt we'll actually get to sit in them too much.

Re: bride and groom chairs at wedding

yeah, i really don't like the wicker ones, and with everything that I need to be concerned with for the wedding, believe it or not, this is an important one. I know that we are going to have pictures taken at our table, and i don't want the chairs to look like something out of the 80's. I wonder if Giorgio's has a few different types of chairs for us to choose from.

Re: bride and groom chairs at wedding

I loathe the wicker ones. They remind me of Mortica Adams. why can't halls get rid of those chairs and as you said, just make the head chairs a little different. Or if they want the height affect put the head table on a platfor so everyone can see.

Re: bride and groom chairs at wedding

Yes I don't want our pictures to be taken with the big wicker 80's chairs in the background either. I think I'll buy tulle and a some twine and wrap the tulle around the chairs and then cover the twine with a big ribbon/bow.

Thanks girls!!

Re: bride and groom chairs at wedding

I agree the Tulle sounds nice. I'm going to have to confirm what we are getting now. I'm afraid that wicker might snag my dress.....
