Buy some tulle, but don't tie the tradition bow, spice it up by weaving it in and out of the chair.
The Knot.

Tulle in another nontraditional way, instead of the giant bows simply lay it over the back and play with it to create a unique look.

My blog post was inspired by this weekend at the bridal show in the Tri-Cities.  I saw a lot of rental companies offering chair covers and sashes, but they all had them tied traditionally in a formal setting. I agree sometimes traditional chair covers in a ballroom can look stunning, but for an outdoor wedding or a fun summer weddings, why not try something different. Above are some different ideas instead of the traditional white chair cover and colored sash. I found two ways to take tulle and create your own idea with either twisting the tulle through the chair or simply laying the tulle over the chair then adding a few knots.

The other cool things I found was why not rent some cool metal garden chairs and add brightly colored chair cushions, I think it makes a garden party look so elegant. Or splurge for your guest to sit in style on some outdoor furniture.

I am so glad to be back in the Tri-Cities but get frustrated with some of the ideas we are caught up in, it's ok to break tradition, to try something new and fun.  I had a great conversation with the owners of Moore Mansion they have invested in some awesome plastic (stone looking) outdoor furniture, it is modern and elegant.  It's just nice seeing someone try something different and breaking from the expected. That is what I'm trying to do with these blog post, is try and give you some ideas to think about, ideas to make your event stand out, and for your event to look unique for all your guests to remember.
