What are some DIY wedding chair decorations?

Chair decorations are simple but make a big difference. Start with a length of fabric, ribbon, or tulle. Drape it over the back of the chair, then tie a bow or a knot at the side or the back. For a more structured look, fold the fabric into a sash and pin it in place. You can also use a wide ribbon and thread it through the chair's slats.

Add a single flower or a small bunch of greenery. Use fresh flowers for the ceremony chairs, or silk flowers if you want them to last. Tuck the stem behind the bow or secure it with a small piece of wire. For a personal touch, attach a small tag with the guest's name or a thank-you message. You could also hang a small favour, like a packet of seeds or a biscuit, from the ribbon.

For a rustic feel, use hessian or lace. For a modern look, use a bold colour or a geometric shape. Keep the decoration low so it does not get in the way when guests sit down. Test the bow on a chair at home to make sure it stays in place and does not slip. If you are using fresh flowers, prepare them the day before and store them in water until the ceremony.
