With endless possibilities and inspiration available, chair decor is a great alternative to chair covers (which can prove to work out quite costly) and a nice way to add a little style and personality to your wedding decor.
From lush florals and hand-painted signs to simple DIY posies which are super simple to recreate, you are sure to find a way to spruce up your wedding chairs according to your wedding style, theme, and budget. You can create a couple of signature chairs at the top table, or create something that works for all the chairs at your wedding.
We've gathered some of our favourite wedding chair decor ideas to help inspire you get the creative juices flowing for your big day.
Signage and Frames
Mr and Mrs or bespoke customs signs are a sweet way to add a little more personality to your big day. If you don't want a typography idea why not try silhouettes or illustrations hung on frames on the back of the chair, these also double up as gorgeous keepsakes for after the big day.
