Wedding chairs are absolute essentials for your big day. Your guests will need a place to sit during the ceremony and throughout the reception, but the types of chairs you choose can also affect your wedding decor and overall aesthetic. With so many other details (guest list, flowers, food, attire…to name a few) to worry about as you’re planning your wedding, it’s easy to leave the chairs on the back burner, especially if your venue provides them or you don’t have wiggle room in your budget to splurge on fancy rentals. But keep in mind that the chairs will be in a lot of your wedding photos — and depending on the size of your guest list, you could have hundreds of them throughout your venue. Even if you only invest in a few special chairs for your sweetheart table and keep the rest simple, we think it’s worth it!
