Chair Decor For Your Wedding

Chair Decor For Your Wedding

Remember a few weeks ago when Brooke Keegan pulled out her magic wand and put together a glamorous surprise backyard bridal shower for her friend Megan? A dreamy event that was filled with fabulous decor, including the prettiest ribbon chair we have ever seen. If you did not see the event, you must have a look.
Lucky for us, Brooke shares exactly how she reinvented the chair into a completely glamorous accessory for the shower. A doable project that takes a little time, a whole lot of ribbon and of course a chair. We can already see the photo of the two of you in your fancy chairs. Read on for complete instructions from Brooke. The lovely chairs were provided by Chiavari Chair Rentals and all of the ribbon was purchased from BB Crafts.

5 strips of each color for a total of 45 strips Simply tie the strips sideways, against the side of the chair, then rotate the ribbon so the excess is in the middle creating the fringe effect down the center. It's really that simple and how beautiful does it look? This is the perfect chair for the bride at her wedding or her bridal shower.

If you would like to continue to weave your fancy purple chair you can start with your vertical pieces and weave through the horizontal ribbons.  After you tie the ribbons vertically, tuck in the excess ribbon between the two woven sections from the bottom.
