Gide to choosing Chair Cover Colours

Colours for Chair Covers

The most popular colour for chair covers isn't a colour at all but white. Historically the most popular choice for weddings white is also the most 'neutral' of colours and doesn't compete at all with the colour scheme chosen for the wedding or other event.

The trend is towards using neutral (and often white) chair covers and then decorating them with a wide variety of organza and other coloured sashes. For the chair cover hire company this allows them for stock a manageable range of typically white and ivory chair covers while offering a whole host of coloured sashes and accessories. For the bride or event co-ordinator this helps to keep costs down.

Another advantage of white (and to a lesser extent ivory) is that 'aggressive' techniques can be used in stain removal and the laundry process without impacting the dye of the fabric. Higher temperatures, stain removers, and optical brightening agents (such as found it 'whites' powders) can be used to restore and maintain the chair covers much more easily than with dyed fabrics.

Another very popular colour is black. Great for stylish charity balls, corporate events, awards ceremonies, parties, etc where a sophisticated or funky evening look is sought to distinguish the event from the 'wedding' look. While black chair covers require greater care in the laundry process than white they are obviously less prone to visible staining. The gretaest challenge in fact is to ensure complete separation from the laundry process of white cotton fabrics as even small amounts of residual white lint in tumble dryers etc can rapidly cause lint flecks to appear on white chair covers.

Organza Sash Colours

Organza sashes are the most popular sash choice for chair covers and are available in a wide variety of colours. The most popular colours are again whiote and ivory, with gold, silver, wine, pink, and fuchsia being time honoured favourites. Becoming much more popular in recent years are colours such as lilac and purple with unusual colours such as chocolate and purple rising in popularity over the last year.
