inspired by chairs.
Today’s post is from contributing blogger, Candice Dowling, founder of Jubilee Events, an event planning boutique specializing in chic weddings and occasions. They are based out of Connecticut, designing and coordinating fabulous events throughout Connecticut and across New England. They’re young, stylish, artistic, fun, and creative – and love to infuse that energy into every event they do! Here is some visual inspiration when planning your vineyard wedding…
I love to play around with chair types at events— they can change the entire look of a table from black tie, rustic, casual garden, and even modern and sophisticated. Here are some incredible chair options for your vineyard wedding— paying attention to all four styles:
Your chiavari chair is a standard, ballroom style chair that’s very versatile. These chairs can be used for the most formal of weddings down to very casual but elegant affairs. I love that they come in any color your heart could desire… Although, for a vineyard setting, I chose a very natural shade of walnut. These chairs also leave a lot of options for décor along the back— whether it be garland, ribbon, signs, floral décor, fabric, chair caps— the possibilities to dress them are endless!
The Bentwood Chair might be my favorite— I think they’re perfect for a rustic, elegant vineyard setting. They’ve got a different look than the chiavari for a couple who wants to do something unexpected. It comes in a smaller number of colors— only walnut, white, and cream— which are perfect, however, to fit the natural setting.
The Bellini Chair appeals to my modern sense— and I also find it a bit quirky. These chairs are made of plastic and come in sold colors of white, black, and dove grey (pictured). I’d love to see these chairs with a monochromatic color story with minimal, distinct design pieces. They would look gorgeous in a tent with distinct event lighting— taking on the glow of whatever colors you choose to light the space!
The Ghost Chair is another favorite of mine— as it appeals to my tailored and orderly side. These chairs are made of plastic as well and completely clear, so they show linens and table décor really well. If you are having an elaborate tablescape and would like a clean, modern chair to accompany it— these would be your best choice.
These chairs are only a handful of what’s available out there but work best for a vineyard setting. Jubilee Events rents all of the chairs pictured, plus many other styles. Feel free to contact us to learn more!
Happy planning!
