 My plan for this rainy Saturday was to gather a few chair decor ideas. Seems simple enough, right? Once I began searching, I came to realize that like seating arrangements, chair decor can actually become quite the daunting task. It is easy to be swept up in the countless types of materials that can be used to create a variety of effects, and the numerous ways to arrange these materials. Although chair decor is one of the many ways to infuse your personality into the event, it may not be where you had planned investing a large portion of your wedding budget.

So, where to start? First, consider whether you prefer to spruce up all of the chairs or only those at the sweetheart and main tables. If the former fits the bill, then you may consider a more minimalist approach. You can moderate the cost by ordering materials in bulk. Keeping the design simple will save time and unnecessary stress if you have decided to make this a DIY project.

If a more luxurious look best suits your wedding, you may consider some fresh flowers for the bride and groom's chairs.

Fresh cut roses, ranunculus, waxflower, jasmine, seeded eucalyptus, and ferns that are arranged into a floral swag make a lovely and fragrant statement.

 Ask your florist about adding chair decor to your order. He or she can custom design and arrange the sprays or garlands as well as set them up on the big day -- saving you time and stress.

 If flowers aren't really your heart's desire the right fabric can be just as romantic.
