Planning Your Wedding Receptions Guest Tables, Chair Covers and Head Tables.

A wedding banquet room is typically set up to include: guest tables, chairs, head tables, sign in table, gift table, and a cake table. After dressing up the guest tables and chairs with tablecloths and chair covers, we want to make the head and cake table area the center of attention. These areas are the FOCAL points of the room, and where the guests of honor- the bride and groom- are seated.

There are a few important design techniques to achieve this outcome. First, the placement of the head table within the room is very important. Head tables are typically placed near the center of the room or near the dance floor, and by elevating the head table with a podium or lifter, all of the invited guests will be able to see the bride and groom. Next, you can dress the head table using accent colors or the wedding’s theme colors. Swags or pleats can be added in front of the table to make it look more elegant and inviting, and will draw guests’ eyes to the bridal party. Other decorations such as crystals, jewelries, lights, candles, or flowers can be added to create a beautiful effect. You want to ask yourself: what can I add to create the most stand-out table in the room? Almost anything you can imagine can be used to create a beautiful and unique centerpiece for the room. You may want to decorate the cake table similarly to the head table in order to create harmony and consistency, which will draw guests’ attention to both tables.

Finally, to give the room a more dramatic effect, you can drape lengths of beautiful, flowing fabric from the ceiling. Orienting the fabric to point towards the head table will draw more attention to the bridal party and will help to create the feeling of a more spacious room. That is a design secret to keep in mind – the longer the length of free flowing fabric will give it a more heightened appeal and visualization. It will enhance the ambiance of the room depending on the colors of the draped fabric.

easy and effortless

Chaircover Express was so easy to work with. In Hawaii, there are very few decor vendors to work with and w/ consultations and correspondence with the others, Chaircover express certainly came on top. Besides their extremely reasonable prices, I was more impressed how easy and stress free they were to work with especially Diane. She was more than accomodating with our needs and ideas and our ensured us that there was really nothing to worry about. She was right, really there was nothing to worry about. The decor from ceremony & reception sashes to headtable draping and uplighting lighting turned out looking so extravagant and elegant without spending several months of mortgage payments. Strongly recommend them!

customer service is big

I’ve been looking for a rental company for my table linens for my wedding and all the other places did not have the color I was looking for which is sage green. So I called Chaircover Express that I found online and they said they had that color and just would need to order it from their corporate office. So I went in and they even gave me the Expo Discount. Customer Service is a big thing for me and they really gave that. They were all very friendly and willing to make my day special. They even dropped off, set-up and picked up all their items we rented!!! Will definitely recommend them to others

Chaircover express was wonderful to work with. Our guests thought the chairs looked lovely for our event. Also, they were always available when I had questions about choosing the material for the chairs. Yes, I would use them again.

wonderful job with the chaircovers & sashes & extras

Chaircover Express (Diana & Staff) did a wonderful job with the chaircovers & sashes & extras at our daughter’s Wedding. They went beyond the call of duty making the Reception room so beautiful. The colors worked real well. On top of them being very reasonable in price, their staff were on time and completed everything so well. Many thanks for their hard work and we highly recommend them to all.

perfect shape

1) The chair covers and sashes arrived on time and in perfect shape to go straight on the chairs without any pressing or steaming.
2) Chaircover Express mailed the covers directly to my venue which was 150 miles from my home and would have taken up my entire cargo space in my vehicle, saving me tons of necessary space!
3) The customer service reps were professional and pleasant and were helpful when the “helpful” male members of the bridal party threw out all the return shipping labels from the boxes by accident. The representatives helped get the issue resolved quickly with no added expense.
4)Highly recommend this vendor!

Ordering the chair covers was so easy! Chaircover Express had also worked with my venue many times before so they had special pricing. I loved the way the chairs looked. I would recommend Chaircover Express to every bride!
