Chairs are the largest single quantity on almost any wedding rental order, and the one guests spend the most time in contact with. They also do more to set the look of a ceremony than anything except the florals.
Here are five chair decisions that are hard to get wrong in Clearwater.
Folding Chairs And Barstools
Basic Folding Chairs
A clean white or natural folding chair is the safest choice there is. It disappears into the setting, it stacks, and it works on grass, sand, and hardwood alike.
Where couples overspend is upgrading every seat in the room. Upgrading the ceremony chairs and keeping the reception simple gets you most of the effect for a fraction of the cost.
Barstools
Barstools are the piece most often forgotten and most often needed. A bar with nowhere to perch pushes the crowd back into the walkway.
A handful at the bar and a few at cocktail tables changes how guests move through the cocktail hour.

Customize, But Keep It Simple
Customize
Chair details are where personality goes in without much expense. Sashes, cushions, and tied greenery at the aisle seats change the look of a whole ceremony for the price of a dozen chairs.
Pull the color from the linens rather than introducing a new one. The chair and the table are in every photo together.
Keep it Simple
The most common mistake is decorating every chair. Treat the aisle ends and leave the rest — it reads more expensive, not less.
The same is true of mixing styles. One chair for the ceremony and one for the reception is a design choice; three is a rental error.

Make Sure It’s Portable
If the ceremony and the reception happen in the same space, someone has to move every chair during cocktail hour. Ask how the flip works and who is doing it before you sign.
Stackable chairs make that turnaround fast. Heavy specialty chairs look wonderful and take three times as long to reset.
Outdoors, weight cuts both ways — a chair light enough to move easily is also light enough to blow over on a breezy Clearwater afternoon.
