Different ways to tie chair sashes

Chair sashes can add detail a pop of color to any event. Many customers ask us how to tie the chair covers, and here are some ideas to get you started.

Tying chair sashes takes longer than you think (we know from experience!). Make sure you practice and leave plenty of time in your schedule for sash tying. This is a great activity for people who want to help with your event!

Knotted Chair Sash
The easiest and fastest way to tie a chair sash is in a knot. You can either tie in a traditional knot, or hide the knot. This video gives you a great tip for hiding the knot once you have it tied.






One Loop Bow Sash
The one loop bow sash is unique, yet fairly easy to tie. To learn how, watch this video.










Traditional Bow Sash
Tying a bow sash is fairly easy as well. The trick is to make sure you pull the knot tight before you loop the bow. This video shows you how.









Side Bow Sash
Side bows add a modern and elegant touch to any event. This video shows you how.









Rosette Sash
The rosette sash is the most difficult and time consuming, but it has a definite wow factor. Watch this video to learn how to tie the rosette sash.


Sash Embellishments
Adding embellishments is another way to step up your chair covers a notch. Use shells, flowers, broaches, or whatever your imagination desires.

Wedding/Bridal Shower Themes

Pottery Barn has some great bridal shower tips that I wanted to share.











Shower Essentials
A 3-tier stand makes a sophisticated statement and is perfect for displaying finger sandwiches, hors d’oeuvres or your favorite cookies and dessert items.

Serving boards, trays and glass domes help to display foods and keep them fresh.

Large and small cake stands are perfect to display cakes and desserts. They can also serve as a pedestal for cheeses, crackers and fruit. Stacks of large and small plates, mugs and bowls will encourage your guests to help themselves to the buffet.

Stemless glasses are perfect for wine, champagne, mimosas and bellinis and are best for parties since they are more stable and easier to hold than traditional stemware.

White tablecloths are an essential at a bridal shower. Have plenty of cloth napkins on hand for guests, and for a special touch, monogram the bride’s wedding date on the linens. After the party, you can have them laundered and give them to her as a gift.

Bridal Shower Themes
• Around the Clock – Assign each guest a specific time of day and ask them to tailor their gift to this time. For example, if you are assigned 9:00 am, your gift should reflect early morning activities and could include such items as a tray, teapot, table linens and a set of mugs.
• Linen Shower – A perfect way to add luxury to the couple’s home. Have guests give sheets, towels, fluffy pillows, bathrobes, table linens and other textiles.
• Holiday Shower – Ask each guest to base their gift choice on a different holiday – ornaments or decorations for Christmas, champagne flutes for New Year’s Eve or a serving platter for Thanksgiving. These gifts are sure to become the couple’s heirlooms.
• A Room of the House Shower – Each guest is encouraged to give gifts tailored to a particular room of the house. For example, if a guest is assigned The Bathroom their gift could include guest towels, bath canisters, a soap dish and a fine hand milled soap.

Special Touches
• Match your food selection, decorations and prizes to the chosen theme of the shower.
• Have a selection of chilled beverages like sparkling water, soda, champagne and wine available for your guests.
• Create a music playlist ahead of time that will help set the mood of the party – or, borrow from ours!
• Party favors are always a great way to thank guests for coming. Some great ideas include monogrammed frames, champagne splits in mini ice buckets or miniature potted herbs. Refer to our guide to create great party favors
