Decorating the chairs of the Bride and Groom is a timeless tradition.

Some wedding receptions decorate all the chairs, others just decorate the wedding party at the head table or a table of honor.

Decorating the guest's chairs may seem frivolous, but the addition of these simple details, no matter how elegant or simple, will bring a whole new dimension of elegance to your wedding reception.

If you have choice of chairs at the wedding venue, always choose the most elegant style you can afford. A ballroom chair can usually be rented with matching cushions in a rainbow of colors.

Decorating the chairs can be as simple as a bow or tassels to a small garland draped across the back.

Wreaths are available in many styles and materials, from floral to grapevine, create a swag using the wedding decorating theme, flowers and colors and hang one from the back of every chair.
