Chair Cover Shapes

No two chairs are alike. It is a common misconception to think that all banqueting chairs are alike. In practice there are many manufacturers and many styles and sizes of chairs. This presents a challenge when it comes to renting chair covers.

It is essential that you try on the chair cover before you commit to rent it for your event. Most reputable rental companies will charge you a refundable small deposit to get a single chair cover or two or three chair covers for fitting purposes. Sometimes the company that you are hiring or buying the chair covers from will know the particular chair you are trying to fit and will have a chair cover from their standard range that they know will fit it. They may even have a chair cover that will specifically fit your chair. In this case the best thing is to email the company a picture of your chair cover and if poissible the manufacture's name and the model number of the chair. Your venue should be able to assist with this information. This will help with getting the right sample sent to you but it is still vital to get that sample rather than wait until the night before the event to discover that your chair cover doesn't fit.

Key Chair Cover Shape Elements Affecting Fit The main elements of a chair that affect the fit of a chair cover (apart of course from the size) are the shape of the back and the shape of the chair seat. Chair backs are usually eiher generally square /rectangular with top corners that are right-angled or sometimes rounded. The chairs below show a round back chair on the laft that would take a round back chair cover while the square back chair on the right with rounded top corners would take a square back style chair cover.

Why Buy Chair Covers?

Existing Business Opportunity

If you operate one of the following business then buying chair covers is a great and very easy way to add a new revenue stream to your existing business.
Florist
Bridal Shop
Wedding Venue
Wedding Car Hire
Caterer

You already have contact with the potential customers and you can generally recover the cost of buying the chair covers in 2-3 rentals so the pay back is quick and future revenues from hiring chair covers have very low costs associated with them for great margins.

New Business Opportunity

If you are looking to set up a part-time business where you can work from home then the chair cover hire business is a great one to be in. There arew great economies to be had from serving a local market (low transport and delivery costs, etc) and great advantages (easy to meet bride directly, get to know local venues) which make it easy for you to compete easily with larger national companies. Because much of the work sucg as meeting with brides and setting up the chair covers at the venue is evening and weekend work it is a great part-time opportunity for mums that can get you out of the house and earning money at times to suit.

The Best Possible Fit

One of the reasons to buy chair covers if you are always using the chair covers on the same chairs is that you can have the chair covers custom made to fit your specific chairs. While this normally costs slightly more you can buy chair covers for standard prices using this link. The only additional cost will be a one-off design charge and collection. Having custom made chair covers means they will always fit better than an off-the-shelf chair cover and brides and event organisers will happily hire them from you not just because of the improved fit but also because of the certainty that comes from knowing they will fit well and the savings in transport costs associated with bringing them in from an external company.

Tactics For Deploying Chair Covers
By using a fabric with just a little bit of 'give' in both directions of the weave ( known as bi-polar weave) fabrics chair covers can be manufactured that still allow them to be easily fitted and removed when a little tight. Not to be confused with full stretchy type chair covers these create a natural look and feel while giving maximum flexibility.

Putting the chair cover on at an angle at the top of the back of the seat (i.e; placing the opening over one top corner first) makes it possible to get chair covers onto chairs that have seat backs that are wider at the top than the bottom.

Using sashes and bows on chair covers that are a bit too large for the chair is a great way of disguising any excess fabric which can be 'hidden' behind the organza sash or bow. This is especially the case with the 'full back' type of sash. Excess fabric can be folded over at the base off the chair back. This is an excellent technique where the seat height is too high and seat back is one of the measurement parameters of seats that is most likely to vary. For this reason many chair hire companies stock large chair covers with an extra high back to accomodate this type of chair in this way.

Every bride wants her wedding to be special and sophisticated, while showing her sense of style and reflect the theme or vision she has for her wedding. This is the reason why one of the most interesting developments in the wedding industry over the last few years is the large range of solutions regarding the style of weddings.

Chair covers are an excellent choice for any styling issue and this is why so many brides decide to hire such things to spice up their wedding reception.

Yes, this is an additional cost to the rest of the wedding expenses, but a good idea would be that of featuring the use of chair covers as part of the overall "Venue Styling Budget", meaning that chair covers’ prices should be under the same cost header as the floral displays and table decorations for your reception tables. So do not be afraid to spend a little less money on floral displays as you are working within a budget. The main reason for this is the fact that if the eye is simply drawn to a strange mixture of colors throughout the room, there is no use in having beautiful floral displays in there.

There are many types of chair covers available on the market, all falling into two main categories. The loose linen and the fitted ones. To speak about the loose linen chair covers, it’s good to know that they fit standard metal framed banqueting chairs as well as wooden gilt framed chairs and are usually available in 2 sizes: medium and large. The colors are usually white, ivory or cream, but the range of available colors is extremely wide. On the other hand, fitted chair covers generally fit gilt banqueting chairs, but can fit steel framed depending on the dimensions of the chair.

No matter which ones you choose, the most important thing is to perfectly choose the accessories for them. Be it organza or satin bows, tie backs or sashes. The best best is to speak with the supplier, het their opinions as they may know a thing or two better than you do and probably advise you ont he best option since they are more experienced and will advise what available accessories is best fit to your scheme.

Using a Caterer & choosing a Reception Venue
Hire a caterer that supplies everything you need, plates, glassware, table cloths, etc.
Make sure you're only charged for the services that you need. Some caterers have packages that include decorating and other items.
If your venue is decorated already you won't need the extras. Extras should be deducted from the bill or replaced with something else you want.
Pick fruits and vegetables that are in season.
Stick to serving food that everyone is familiar with. Fancy food is expensive.
Buffets generally cost a good deal less and give your guests the opportunity to get up and mingle with the other guests, and they can pick exactly what they would like to eat.
Make sure to read your contract and check to see if the gratuity is included. This goes for all services.
Booking a venue that allows you to buy your own liquor is more work but saves you money.
Depending on your culture and where you live in Canada, having a cash bar is totally acceptable. This can be a huge money saver.
Consider only serving wine and domestic beers.
Liquor (vodka, rum, rye, scotch) plus all the different mixes you'll need adds to your expenses.
Liqueurs like Grand Marnier, Sambucca, etc. can put a real strain on the liquor budget.
Do you really need that Champagne toast?
Common sense tip - the more guests the more cash you're going to put out.
Holding your reception in a hotel has a lot of good points. They usually decorate, have professional services, i.e. DJ, can cater well to large groups, and most likely will include the honeymoon suite, with discounted rooms for out-of-town guests.
If you're having a wedding with 75 guests or under, consider having your reception at your favourite restaurant. You will already know the staff and how the food is.
Order child meals for kids under 11.
Order a teen meal (same as adults but no liquor) for ages 12 to 17.
Your reception is the biggest expense. It's also where you can save the most money if you shop around and plan well!

Patterned Materials For Chair Covers The trend is towards simpler plainer fabrics and the majority of chair covers these days are made from simple solid colours in plain weaves. Traditional styles such as brocade weaves havn't disappeared entirely however. The most popular colours for the wedding market are white and ivory with black being a popular choice for corporate, party, and banqueting occasions.
Why Rent Chair Covers
Chair covers can be used to transfor a vebue by neutralising the colour scheme of the chairs and in many cases disguising worn and ageing chairs in an otherwise decent venue setting. Chair covers are a drammatic design statement in their own right that create a stunning setting which is why they have become an essential item for weddings and other events.

If you are organising a 'one-off' event such as a wedding reception you will clearly not want to buy chair covers for once off use so your best option is to rent chair covers.

Measuring Chairs For Chair Covers

There are four key measurements you will normally need to supply your hire compnay with. Generally you will need to take this measurement using a tape measure and follow the curve of the back of the chair.

The height of the top of the chair back to the floor. Generally you will need to take this measurement using a tape measure and follow the curve of the back of the chair.
The height of the seat to the floor.
The width of the seat.
The depth of the seat
