Yikes!Well, thankfully, those days are long gone. However, just as the puffy sleeve became more tailored and fitting and, in many cases, disappeared completely, so too the chair covers with the big puffy sashes will eventually bow out. See any resemblance?
In 2010 we'll be seeing a lot more sleek spandex covers when covers are used at all. It's all about clean, sleek, and well-tailored.
We can't completely do away with chairs the way we have with sleeves and straps but we can make them "disappear" so as to expose the beauty underneath! I mean, really, if you're going to invest time and money into creating a beautiful table setting with gorgeous linens and dazzling centerpieces why on earth would you want to hide it all behind a big puffy chair?!In the coming years we'll see a lot less emphasis on chairs and more emphasis on the table itself. But how do you make the chair disappear? Well, here are a couple of ideas:
Chiavari - The Spaghetti Strap:
The barely-there chair that adds a touch of beauty and elegance without taking anything away.
Chiavari's can be decorated with a little cap, some ribbon, or other pieces of subtle fabric or florals so that you don't lose the beauty of the chair (or the table) underneath. When this is done right, it adds a simple touch of elegance or fun and doesn't hide or deter from the overall look.
Acrylic - The Strapless Gown:
This is the closest you'll get to making your chairs disappear completely (for now, anyway). These clear acrylic chairs really allow you to show off the full beauty of the tables underneath and the overall effect is dazzling!
How will you make your chairs fit?
Cheers!
