    I am not sure if I should buy /rent chair covers for the reception. THese are the chairs at the venue, they are nice, they are ivory colored, not the typical dark red ones. But I can't decide if I should use chair covers with sashes or no chair covers and use my guava colored satin napkin and maybe some flowers with ivory, green, coral to match my guava napkins and make that color pop.

    Personally, I don't think you need chair covers-- those are very pretty.  Especially because chair covers are so expensive-- spend the money on something that you will get more bang for your buck out of!

    They look nice. They are very neutral. Not worth the money for chair covers or sashes, in my opinion.

    I think your chairs are gorgeous. Chairs covers are really expensive, and I don't think they're worth it. Focus on what's ON the table instead!

    I would say no chair covers.  I personally do not like chair covers.  They usually look all sorts of crazy half way through the reception. 

    And, I think the chairs in your pics look fine.

    I think these chairs are really pretty without covers!  Plus, covers would just be extra expense that probably wouldn't add a lot to your space.  Au natural is my vote!

    I love the chairs! Though I don't like sitting on chair covers (especially shiny/satin ones) so I'd always opt without. Those ones are pretty!

    I agree that the chairs are nice, and being a neutral color is a plus. I think you are in the right track to add a color pop with other linens and decorative items. What you seem to have in mind sounds lovely!

    They look great! I don't think you need to waste your money on covers. I'm not using any and mine are not even CLOSE to that nice.

    These are nice! Mine look a lot like these except where yours are white/ivory, mine are a light moss green. They look pretty enough on their own, don't bother with chair covers!

    I like your chairs! I think chair covers are kind of overwhelming and gaudy, to be honest. I like that your chairs are neutral without being visually heavy.

    @Mrs.tobe: Mine are similar and I couldn't justify the cost of chair covers so I let them go. At the end of the day if someone leaves my wedding and all they can remember are the chairs they have bigger problems.

    As for the OP I would love to have those nice ivory colored chairs, I think it looks elegant without covers!

    I think those chairs are just fine! I don't like chair covers in general, but I think they're totally unnecessary in your case.

    Do not cover those chairs up, unless they are stained, or are worn pretty bad. They are lovely chairs. I personally am not a big fan of chair coverups.

    @Mrs.tobe: Chili red, but still atrocious.  Thank god the lights will be low.  It might be better if they were bright red, then I could just stick Husker stickers on them and call it good.  Nebraskans would think that was cool, no matter how formal the event.

    Agree with previous posters, forget the chair covers! I had nice bronze gold upholstered chairs at my venue that worked well with my decor so I used to money I would've spent on chairs or chair covers on uplighting!
