I love draping soft chiffon over wedding chairs—it just feels so light and elegant.
Toss in a few pearl accents, and suddenly the whole look gets a little more refined. Pearls have this classic vibe that’s never too much.
2. Rustic burlap and lace bows
Burlap and lace bows on wedding chairs? Always a winner. The burlap keeps things rustic, while the lace adds a soft, romantic twist.
Just tie these bows around the chair backs—maybe tuck in a sprig of baby’s breath if you’re feeling fancy. It’s easy and works with so many different wedding styles.
3. Fresh eucalyptus and lavender bundles
Fresh eucalyptus and lavender bundles just look so effortlessly pretty. The green and purple tones are subtle, and you can tie them on with twine or ribbon. Works for rustic, boho, or even more classic weddings.
4. Gold leaf chair signs with guest names
Gold leaf chair signs really pop, especially against a white or pale background.
If you personalize each sign with a guest’s name, it’s practical and feels special. It’s a nice way to help people find their seats and makes the decor feel thoughtful.
5. Hand-tied wildflower bouquets
Hand-tied wildflower bouquets are charming without being over-the-top.
Tie them on with twine for a rustic touch—super easy and perfect for anyone who loves a nature-inspired wedding.

Personalized wooden plaques bring a natural, simple vibe. You can put guest names or a cute message on each one.
They help guests find their spot and add a sweet detail to the setup.
