Second up in our series, chairs! Chairs tend to be an afterthought for most brides.  Many fail to realize the statement that this piece of furniture can make. A chair can act as an accessory does for your wardrobe.  It helps bring the whole look together.  Most venues have a banquet chair that is available at no cost to clients, but often these chairs don’t fit with the wedding décor.  The most widely rented chair due to availability and cost is the traditional chiavari chair. Chiavari chairs are available through many rental companies. They come in a range of colors including silver, gold, black and white. You can also choose a colored seat cushion or hard pad which allows you to customize the look to match your design. Classic Party Rentals offers a wide selection.
