    So the venue I'm using is a package deal that handles all the decorations..flowers, pew markers, etc. In the reception hall, there are approximately 80 chairs (which can be reduced depending on the number of guests). Each chair has a white chair cover and all of the linens are white.

    Even though everything is beautiful, we are getting married in the spring (April) and I felt like the reception hall needed some color. Since it's a spring wedding, I have chosen a honey dew green, a rose pink, and lilac as our colors, so I'm looking for a place that I can rent satin chair sashes for that day.

    I googled it and found one company that was particularly interesting, but they said their chair sashes arrive 1 business day before the event? The worry wart in me says that's cutting it too close.

    I considered purchasing them, but after the wedding, what in the heck would I do with 80 bows?

     

    Any suggestions?

    Can you order them a day ahead? Like, bend the truth and say you need them a day earlier than you really do?

    Otherwise, if you do purchase, there's always re-selling. Check out the classifieds here -- lots of stuff for sale! Yours could be up there too :)

    Or who knows, maybe you'll love the colors so much you'll end up making pillow covers and lampshades and stuff out of them for your house ;)

    Have you thought about making them? They're not hard to make if you ahve a sewing machine, and you can always either sew them together to make a quilt or sell them to another bride!
