OK, so it’s not at the top of your priority list to sort your wedding chair hire well in advance, but it’s worth spending some time considering which chairs you are going to use nonetheless.

Whilst chiavari chairs come in a variety of different colours including gold, black, ghost and natural wood, to name just a few, the most popular is limewash Chiavari chair hire, as it’s a neutral colour, perfect for styling weddings and events.
Affordable folding chair hire
Another option for wedding chair set-ups is the folding chair. As its name would suggest, these are foldable chairs with an aluminium frame and plastic seat and back. They are not designed for long-period seating, though might well be a better option if you are holding your wedding outdoors, for instance. Chiavari chairs have a cushioned seat pad, which makes them more comfortable, but then unsuitable for use outdoors if it rains. With folding chairs, you can simply wipe off any rain water and move on! Let’s face it, the British weather can be unpredictable, and so all these are considerations that you need to factor in.
