Wedding Design Tip | Setting up Reception Chairs

Most of us were well trained in childhood, parents and teachers telling us lovingly to “push in your chair!” When setting up a wedding reception, the chairs can easily become an afterthought, they get spread evenly around to their tables and forgotten about. One detail, that will make a tremendous difference in the look of the reception, is to not push in the chairs. This applies, for the most part, to tables with floor length table linens, but should apply to uncovered tables as well.  Slide the chair up to the point where it is just barely about to touch the hanging table linen and stop. This way, it doesn’t make a dent in the fabric and the lines of your table look clean, finished, picture perfect and ready for your guests.
