A lot of brides who are on a strict budget decide that wedding chair covers are not imperative when it comes to venue decoration. This is a serious oversight; there is nothing worse than worn, ugly, mismatched chairs. Wedding chair covers ought to be very high on your list of priorities when planning your big day. The appearance and feel of the entire venue is pulled together by the consistency and décor of the chairs.

You may look at a few chairs and think they are adequate but imagine fifty or a hundred; they will take up a considerable part of the venue. As well bear in mind that the guests will spend most of their time during your wedding sat on the chairs around the table, they must be beautiful and elegant.

Even for those who do not need to conceal mismatched or poor quality chairs, wedding chair covers can be used to uphold the colour scheme or theme. The accessories you use around the chairs can match the colour of the bridesmaid dresses or flowers.

Wedding chair covers will make the venue instantly look stylish and tie everything together. If you can afford only a few things for your reception venue decoration, chair covers are a very sensible investment. Your venue may already use chair covers but if not, you will have to consider other options.

Hiring chair covers for weddings can be done for a fraction of the price of hiring expensive furniture. Chair cover hire companies offer an extensive array of chair covers in a brilliant range of fabrics and designs to suit any wedding theme décor and any style of chair. The rental company may also give you useful advice on using and decorating your wedding chair covers.

Before you think about contacting a chair cover rental company, you will need to know the shape and size of the chairs that the venue uses. Wedding chair covers come in all shapes and sizes and as there truly is no such thing as a standard chair you will need to make sure they can be fitted perfectly. Chair covers with long skirts are a must for hiding ugly metal or plastic chair legs. It is important to get the dimensions right, as you won't want these skirts to be either too short or trailing on the floor.

You will need to discuss with the wedding chair cover hire company whether you want fitting at your venue, or whether it will be up to you to decorate the chairs. Also, do not forget to confirm what the procedure will be after the wedding, will they come out and remove them? If you choose to fit the covers yourself to keep the cost down, make sure you arrange when and who will be responsible for this. It takes about forty mins to fit one hundred chair covers.

Your wedding is your wedding. It really is not meant to be a clone of every other event held at that venue. Personalise your wedding chair covers; add sashes, bows, flowers, ruffles, lace or even initials. This will make your wedding day completely individual and complement your theme.

It is really easy to forget or ignore details like ordering wedding chair covers, but they can really make the difference to the overall success of your wedding venue styling.
