About Sashes

 
Example of dressed and undressed chair

Ordinary undressed chairs are transformed with a chair cover and colour coordinated sash

A sash is the large ribbon tied around a chair.  Normally the chair is covered in a chair cover before the sash is applied.

Why use sashes?

The purpose of a sash is to turn a normal or even boring chair into an attractive, decorative element of the event.  The colour of the sash is really important as it will need to coordinate with the chosen theme.  As each dressed chair has a sash tied around it and the room can be full of dressed chairs, then the chair sash itself can be one of the dominant influences of colour on the room’s overall appearance.  Proper colour coordination with other items in the room is therefore essential.

Influences on the colour theme

Often the colour theme is based around a bridesmaid’s dress.  It could be based on flowers or some other key component that is important.  Sometimes the theme can be ‘fairly neutral’ or even designed to coordinate with the room’s own décor.

Perception of colour is completely subjective and only YOU can decide what looks right.   Given that colour coordination is important, then accepting a generic colour sash does not make much sense.  Bring your things that you are basing your theme on along to a consultation at the venue to ensure the overall effect is what you desire.
