Shabby Chic is a modern vintage and rustic style of décor. It involves putting together rustic/ vintage pieces that complement each other. These pieces could include classic chairs like Chiavari chairs with understated flowers and centrepieces, encircled by tall candles of matching palette and luxurious vintage fabric. Shabby Chic provides a rich but understated wedding décor. Here rustic combines with vintage to give beautiful lasting memories of your precious event.
Rustic Chairs for Your Wedding
Chairs are an important fabric for your décor to set the tone and character that you intend in the wedding. Overlooking the essential role that chairs and tables play in setting the character is a common mistake by brides and grooms. The chairs should be one of the first pieces of décor to take into consideration when planning the wedding as they tie in the overall wedding theme. The right choice of chairs anchors the other key elements of the wedding theme and offers the opportunity to fine tune the other fine details of the décor.
Let’s take a look at some of the most popular chairs for your rustic or vintage themed wedding that we think will give your wedding the best possible vintage look.
White Wooden Folding Chairs
Also known as Wimbledon chairs, the white wooden folding chairs are a classic essential for an outdoor vintage themed wedding. Not only are these chairs perfect for your outdoor wedding ceremony, they are also one of the best fits for the wedding reception.
Your guests will have a comfortable and stylish seating, whether the wedding will take place outdoors or indoors. In addition to their impressive ability to capture the rustic wedding theme, the white wooden folding chairs are very versatile. They can be folded after your ceremony and the area can be easily cleared out for the reception and other activities. This is particularly helpful if your wedding area is in multiple areas and if you need to remove chairs for the evening reception.
For extra comfort, our white wooden folding chairs are fitted with a faux-leather seat pad for a comfort. One of the favourite perks of these chairs, apart from their charm, is that they take up less space and can be folded easily to quickly move indoors or outdoors into the reception hall or area.

These chairs are a classic option that will beautifully complement a wide variety of our round tables, particularly our limewash dressed trestle tables and rustic trestle tables. Limewash is a vintage European style finish that is characterised by striking hues and earth tones.
The Chiavari chair is arguably the most widely popular chair for wedding ceremonies. This is basically why Chiavari chairs are commonly referred to as the classic wedding chairs and the Tiffany chairs. It is the preferred choice for chairs in traditional weddings since they work perfectly for that rustic and vintage style wedding.
