White DEF! Something about white just screams wedding, pureness and beauty! I think it would look great to do the white chairs!
Considering the white chairs are twice the price, I think the natural wood would be just fine.
@MissFlipFlops:I agree! The white chairs seem "picture perfect" for a wedding! And they would probably be more comfortable.
However, if it's not a big deal to you, then use the $$ somewhere else.
It just looked like alot of white. The wood will break it up a bit, and at half the price sounds like a good deal.
pretty location! I like the natural wood chairs. i think since it's outdoors and in a natural setting it would look great!
@PinkPinstripes: That's what I thought too, that they would be more comfortable since they're padded but it shouldn't be too long of a ceremony.
If the white chairs will not bust the bank, I'd do white. Not knowing how many chairs you need or the exact cost, it's hard to say. I'm pretty cheap, so I'd probably do the wooden, but the white look so nice!
I think the white padded chairs go great with the colors and look of the location.
I really think either would look fine. My church had blue padded pews and you don't notice them once everyone is sitting down.
Save the money and go with the natural wood. If you are saving a ton of money, you could do a wrap around the back with tule so you wouldn't really even see that much natural wood except on the legs.
Here are some ideas:
We don't need a ton of chairs, like around thirty, since we're only inviting up to forty six. I just know that anywhere we can save is good.
I honestly like both. If the white ones are twice the price, and you have a significant number of guests, then I don't think it's worth it to rent the white. Since it's outside I think the natural ones will look nice.
Honestly, before you even said that white was twice the price, I was thinking wood. It will make your gazebo stand out more and increase the focus on the front if a photographer is behind the chairs. Instead of there being a bunch of white in the photo, it will be just on you and the gazebo :).
I will also add that we were going to do the chairs inside the gazebo in a circular pattern so that we'd be in the middle. But I don't know if that would make a difference.
How long is your ceremony? 20-30 minutes? Divide cost by time used & if the resulting figure is worth it to you, then by all means use the white chairs. If not, the wood is a gorgeous option.
Plus I'm not even sure people notice what they're sitting on. It's a chair; if it holds you up, its done its job. Plus I'm all for saving a few bucks - you could put the money you saved towards ceremony decor, or whatever else!
Needless to say, I voted for the brown chairs :)
I think that the natural wood realllllly fights with the white gazebo. I would definitely notice the contrast if I were a guest. But, the white goes with it, and blends nicely. I'd go with the white! It would bug me big time to look back at pictures and see the brown vs white, but if you are not as OCD as me, ;-), go with the natural
The natural wooden chairs! The white, padded ones are not worth the extra cost. Put that money toward something else. Guests sit in the chairs for such a brief time and I promise you, they do not care. And you can ask them the next day what kind of chair they sat in at your ceremony and they will never be able to remember!!
I like the wood. I think the white would pull your eye towards the chairs, where the natural would blend and pull your eye towards the two of you. I also think the natural just looks better, and that it seems like a huge waste to buy special chairs for the ceremony when the ceremony is going to be fairly short.
the white would look a little nicer when the gazebo is empty, but once people are sitting it won't really matter. i would spend the extra money somewhere else.
oh I voted white, and then I saw that they were twice the price.... SO I change my vote to wood!
The natural. I think white chairs and white gazebo would be too much.
Plus they are cheaper.
If they're half the price, I'd definitely go for natural. White would match the gazebo, but natural matches the setting!
Go with the natural wood. Guests won't be sitting in them long enough to justify the extra expense of the white and you can put the money to use somewhere that you and your guests will actually notice and appreciate (food/beverages, entertainment and/or photography).
@caszos: I second this idea.
Also, I would like to say that I didn't vote, and here's why:
From an aesthetic viewpoint I preferred the white as it would match the white of the gazebo.
However, on a budget savy, realistic viewpoint, I liked the natural wood as they were cheaper (more money for your honeymoon) as well as once people are sitting in them, and you are walking down towards your new husband in your beautiful dress, everyone's eyes will be on YOU, and not the chairs.
What are the colors of your wedding?
Because If your colors are in the "warm" range: red, orange, purple, brown - then I think the wood would actually look better :)
omg. they are chairs. don't you dare pay more than you need to. people will be SITTING in them. it so doesn't matter. save the money!
If want to keep white, why not go with these chairs? They are the same price as the natural wood (assuming you are using the same rental company as me :)), but they are just your basic white folding chair.
darn picture didn't show. go here to see :) http://www.snydereventrentals.com/products/404-Folding/
Out of all the weddings I've been to, I can honestly say that I do not remember the chairs I've been sitting in. Well, I've never been to one with Chiavari chairs...then my answer may be different 
I voted for the natural wood chairs. I think they fit in better with the outdoor environment, and the white chairs, imo, would be too much white. Plus with the natural wood chairs, you can really gussy them up with ribbons/flowers!

This is probably really trivial but I have yet to get an opinion out of my FI, mom, or anyone so I thought I'd ask everyone's opinions here! I have two options I've narrowed it down to with chairs. Attached is a picture of our ceremony spot as well as pictures of the chairs, which will actually be inside the gazebo. I feel like the white would probably look better but it's twice the price of the natural wood which is why I'm torn. We could probably spring for it but I guess I'm just wondering if it's worth it for just the ceremony.
