Chair Cover Pleats
Pleats on chair covers are used for a variety of purposes. They enhance the look of the chair cover - especially in the skirt - by creating smooth flowing lines. They also make the chair cover able to fit a wider variety of chairs as the pleats allow it to fit nor flexibly over different leg angles and seat shapes. The pleats also serve another important purpose in that that allow room for people to put their legs under the seat comfortably and while minimising damage. The extra fabric provided by the pleat means that as people tuck their legs under the seat the fabric can give. As well as making it more comfortable for the 'sitter' this also reduces damage to the chair cover as no stretching or pressure is applied to the skirt of the chair cover. This save stretching and possible tearing and also helps to reduce the anount of marking from shoes (especially shoe polish) that can transfer when shoes are pressed hard against a chair cover skirt with an unyielding surface that does not have pleats.

A word of caution, anything below $3.00 and you must definitely watch out. In any case, make sure that you ask to see a sample of the chair covers and sashes. Once you do, make sure that the chair covers are not faded from use, no tears, no wine stains from last week's party and most of all, not a tremendous amount of creases as if it just came from the dryer. 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!

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.



Cheap Chair Covers

If you have decided the buy chair covers or rent chair covers then you'll be looking to get them as cheaply as possible. If you plan to rent them however you will be asking yourself 'when is cheap too cheap?' and how will I know I'm getting good quality. If you plan to buy chair covers you will be concerned about the purchase price but probably much more concerned about how long they will last and how they will look after 20 washes and 100 washes. On avarage you will rent out chair covers for $2 - 4 per cover (depending on transport and whether you are fitting them or not) so ultimately whether you spend $1-2 more or less buying them is much less important that whether you manage to get 10 rentals or 100 rentals out of them before you need to replace them.

Things to look for in cheap chair covers

Cheap chair covers will need to meet certain criteria in order to be the bargain they appear to be. The criteria you need to look at are the following:
Design
Material
Construction
Design

You need to buy cheap chair covers from a company that has long experience to ensure the chair covers have been designed to provide the best fit and wear characteristics. If buying or renting a standard cheap chair cover this is vital to ensure the chair cover will fit well. Many of the cheap chair covers being imported from china are made without any research or reference to the actual bannqueting chairs in use in the country they are iported into and will consequently offer a poor fit and poor value for money.

Material

The fabric used for cheap chair covers has to both look good and feel good but equally importantly it has to wear well and be crease resistant and easy to launder. You will find chair covers that cost a little more than the really cheap ones may have a slghtly heavier weight and only cost slightly more. This is often better value as the cost difference is small but especially with white and ivory the increased opacity of the fabric will reduce the tendency for the chair to be visible when really cheap fabrics are used in cheap chair covers.

Construction

Really cheap chair covers often cut corners that will leave you much worse off in even the short term than higher quality ones. One way saving may have been made in the manufacturing process is to not overlock the hems. This won't be apparent at first unless you check the hems on the inside but threads will quickly star coming loose and the cheap chair cover will rapidly start to disintegrate after a few washes. The joins will also be weaker and have less resistant to splits caused in usage.

Another important feature in the construction of a cheap chair cover to look for is whether it hs double stitching in all the areas subject to the most stress and strain.

Check with the manufacturer what areas of the cheap chair cover have double stitching. These areas should include the seat joins with the skirt of the chair covers and the joins of the seat to the back. Special attention to re-inforcement of the seams needs to be paid to the area where tha back panels, skirt, and seat pad meet as these get the most strain when people slump on their seats which can cause tearing.



Chair Covers Styles
In many ways the style and design of chair covers in determined by the chairs that they fit on. In fact - the same chair cover may look very different on two different chairs. Generally - the simpler the chair design the more elegant a chair cover will look on it. Chairs with angular embellishments such at mini spires on the top corners or embellished protrusions on the sides can sometimes cause unsightly bulges. If you have this type of chair to cover you are almost always better off with a custom designed solution. Outside GTA Banquet Halls
