For Every Season: Garden Chairs For Your Tent Wedding

Planning a wedding is an exciting venture, especially when you get to see it all come together on the big day. Everyone has a vision for how they want their wedding and reception to be, and these ideas can be quite diverse. One option that is quite trendy and popular, is to have an outdoor wedding. The outdoors can often be a tricky venue to work with for weddings. Tents protect everyone from the elements while still preserving the ambiance of being outside.

Maybe you plan to get married on a breezy beach, in the middle of an English garden, or in the woods way up on the mountain. Whatever the environment, you’ll want to give a lot of thought to your unique wedding. To accommodate your guests, you’ll want to have beautiful chairs to sit on and you will need to arrange them so they make sense in the space.

Here are a few options for choosing and decorating garden chairs to make your outdoor, tent wedding absolutely perfect.

Choosing Chairs

Choose solid chairs that will fit well in both the wedding and reception environment. They need to be sturdy, yet beautiful. They also should be versatile so that they fit with your theme and decor. Folding wooden chairs are excellent for outdoor weddings, as they are easy to move around. They are also naturally beautiful and come in different colors and stains that will match many decor options. Just be sure not to leave them outside during less than optimal weather conditions.

Chair Features

Folding chairs with a padded seat will also add to the comfort for your guests. Choose chairs that are at least 17 inches wide by 30 inches tall, with a depth of 19 inches. This size will ensure that the majority of your guests will find the chairs comfortable. Make sure to pick a color that will complement your wedding theme. White is always a great neutral option, but you might want to pick a shade of wood stain that will give a rustic feel to your event. Overall, folding wooden chairs are simply a classy look that will immediately enhance your venue and add to the comfort level of your guests.

Setting Up Chairs

First, you’ll want to consider your venue. If you have a lot of room, you have more options for how to arrange seats. But if your space is limited, you’ll have to be creative in how you set it all up. Make sure everyone has enough room to get around chairs and to sit comfortably. For the wedding, make sure that each row is positioned so that all your guests can see the ceremony from any chair. For the reception, you can choose to set up tables in a banquet style or in clusters of round tables. Make room for a dance floor, if that’s on your agenda!

Decorating Chairs

The great thing about using garden chairs for your wedding is that they are naturally beautiful. If you’re planning a rustic wedding, you might want to consider a lightly stained chair and leave it in it's natural state. Or if your wedding is more extravagant, you can place items on and around the chair to enhance its look. Wrap glossy fabrics and flowers around the backs of the chairs for a chic look. Or enhance the natural beauty of wood with greenery and other natural forest materials. Your guests will be in awe of your entire wedding look.

Whatever you decide for your wedding decor, make it an event everyone will remember for years to come. It’s your special day, so put as much thought and planning into it as you can. Details like chairs can make a big difference in how your decor looks and more importantly, in the comfort of your guests. Garden chairs can make your outdoor wedding look amazing. They're also sturdy options that will make your guests happy through the entire ceremony and reception.
