6. A veil for your chairs
Here’s a unique way of decorating your wedding chairs.
This design utilizes fabric to create a flowing veil effect.
And not only is it visually impactful, but the material also cushions your guest’s backs for added comfort.
I love how this material is styled in a cascading way, adding a touch of elegance.
This design is simple, easy to recreate, and budget-friendly.
7. Colorful ribbons
Do you have a festival theme in mind?
Maybe you are aiming for a Mardi Gras wedding motif?
Using vibrant colored ribbons like these would be a perfect addition.
The assortment of colors really does it for this wedding chair decor design.
8. Add some Eucalyptus leaves
We are seeing eucalyptus leaves used as decor more and more these days.
And why not?
They’re easy to find, simple, and lends a touch of nature-inspired vibes to any venue.
The leaves are just right for the natural colored fabric they used for this set.
I also like how they have let the material drape onto the floor, creating a flowy effect.
9. A few flowers and an abundance of leaves
If you want to use a lot of foliage and flowers in your wedding, here’s a gorgeous idea for you.
I love how big and “overflowing” these floral arrangements are so that they cover almost all of the back of the chair.
It creates a dramatic effect, especially with the ribbon that elevates the design even further.
10. Use flowers in your color scheme
Here’s another idea of how you can incorporate your motif into your wedding chair decorations.
I like how they have just gone with different shades of pink roses to decorate these chairs.
This time, the floral arrangement is small and dainty, with just the right sprigs of greenery.
And once again, the ribbon adds a touch of whimsy into this design.
11. Traditional works well too
Of course, we have to include traditional ways of decorating wedding chairs.
After all, most designs come from the most basic: floral arrangement, sheer fabric, and ribbons.
I like how they have used flowers and leaves in different sizes and shades to create an interesting and gorgeous bouquet for the chairs.
12. Pretty in pink
This rose pink motif is so gorgeous!
Like in this photo, you can’t go wrong using the theme colors.
Let’s take a moment to enjoy the understated elegance of the design.
13. A little goes a long way
Who says you can’t have a big impact with small bouquets.
In this design inspiration, you can see how gorgeous the chair is even with such a small floral arrangement.
And that little note is everything – a personal touch that I’m sure every guest will love.
Pink is such a romantic color, and I love how they used it again in this wedding chair decor.
14. Reserved chairs
As the “stars” of this celebration of love and friendship, the couple needs special chairs like this.
This is a cute way of letting your guests know that these two chairs are reserved for you and your spouse.
I like how they have added the cascading floral arrangement to complete the look.
15. “Better together”
We really love all these “better together” design inspirations!
It’s a simple and articulate way of saying that there’s strength in the union.
This design is a more subtle way of “marking” the couple’s special seats.
Again, I like how they added these gorgeous, flowing floral arrangements to the couple’s chairs.
Just a small tip on using bouquets in this situation: make the signs are still visible even if you’re going for a more elaborate arrangement.
16. Catch some attention
How striking is this ruby ribbon?
The best way to put an emphasis on your color theme, especially if they’re leaning towards warm colors like red, is to use light colored elements like these chairs here.
It really captures everyone’s attention with the contrast of colors.
Notice how they also incorporated tiny blooms to make the rich red color stand out.
Stunning, indeed!
17. Elegant and simple
A floral arrangement need not be elaborate to make a statement.
Like in this gorgeous wedding chair decor.
They used roses in one set, then then sprigs of baby’s breath in another.
Just the same, the small bouquets make a big impact on the overall arrangement.
These tiny floral arrangements also go well with the rustic chairs.
18. Add some white ribbon and roses
Here’s another roses and ribbons decor idea.
No matter how varied the foliage and flowers are in this arrangement, they still look put-together.
The key is choosing the right foliage to go with floral arrangement.
Then, go for different hues, add a ribbon to the design, and voila!
It’s elegance and romance rolled into one gorgeous arrangement.
19. A romantic touch
How gorgeous are these huge bouquets of flowers?
Reserving the chairs for the bride and groom is easy with these elaborate floral arrangement.
The heart-shaped signs is a nice and cute touch, and I’m all for it!
20. A touch of pink
Elegant, simple, gorgeous.
Oh, the pink flowers and sheer fabric on the light colored wooden chairs make this design extra stunning.
And yes, by the looks of it, the theme is pink and romance.
What a lovely way to celebrate a wedding!
21. Simple and beautiful
Here’s another simple way of using foliage to decorate your wedding chairs.
I like how they have kept this minimalistic, with just greens and a white ribbon.
If you are on a tight budget, this is a great way of keeping the cost down.
You’ll have a beautifully decorated chair, without spending too much.
Creative on-a-budget tip: just use the leaves from your own garden and challenge your creativity!
22. Somewhere to rest your roses
The way that they have used the holes in the chairs to incorporate the roses is so clever!
Here’s another bride-and-groom wedding chair decor idea you can recreate.
You don’t need to put a sign as reserving special chairs for the couple can be subtle just like this.
This is definitely Pinterest-worthy!
23. Use baby’s breath
Baby’s breath seems to be a wedding staple and we see it in weddings ALL the time.
And rightly so, as this flower is so easy to incorporate into many themes.
The simplicity of this flower makes it a charming and classic choice for many decor.
I also like how they incorporated the delicate gold ring to the design to tie the arrangement together.
And if you’re going for an all-white theme, just swap the dark ribbon for the color of your choice.
24. Full of foliage
Here’s another idea for your chair decoration on a budget.
We all know that flowers can get pretty expensive, especially if you’re planning to get married on Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day – whenever there’s a huge demand for floral arrangements.
So, you can keep the cost down by using foliage instead – lots of it!
Just add a flower or two to break off the monotony of green.
You can also recreate this design for your welcome sign to match the overall theme.
Well, there you have it.
