One of the most popular rental items for weddings has proven to be chair covers and sashes. We offer a variety of different sized chair covers as well as sashes in hundreds of colors. One common question that we get asked is regarding the different types of ways that you can tie a chair sash. We all know of the common bow, but today’s bride wants something different! And let’s face it, some of us just aren’t bow people 😉 Keep in mind that you can also tie those sashes on chivari chairs as well as resin chairs! Below are some of our favorite ties here at PTPR!
The common bow. This is one of the easiest, and most seen styles. You would tie it as if you were tying your shoe. We have found that the trick is to make a small, tight bow and then pull the “ears” out to fluff.
The rosebud. This is a slight variation to the bow that gives a drastically different look. You would start by making that small, tight bow we talked about. Make one of the “ears” slightly larger than the other and then take the other “ear” and pull it through the ear loop. Then, fluff and make your rosebud look pretty.
The flip. Probably the easiest and quickest of the selection. Just make a knot, and then flip the sash over. Easy as pie!
The criss cross. This one would come second in the simplicity category. You would start by wrapping the sash around the back of the chair and then criss cross the sash in the front. Then, bring it back around and do a flip tie in the back.
The rose. Now this one takes some work. You would start by tying the sash in a knot on the backside of the chair. Then you intertwine the two ends of the sash and wrap them around each other, similar to how you would put a bun in your hair. This one may require some pinning.
The weave. This one is reserved just for those beautiful chivari chairs. You would simply take the sash and weave it in and out of the back of the chair. It is a bit of work, but you get a stunning result.
You can also do any of these ties on a resin chair, in a variety of ways!
These ties all look great to the side as well.
These are just FEW of the many ways that you can tie your sashes. Keep in mind that some fabrics tie better than others. Satins tend to tie the best, whereas organzas are a bit more difficult. If you would like a quick tutorial on any of these ties, you can always stop into our showroom and we would be happy to help! Also, if you want to skip the tying process in its entirely, we can always tie your sashes for you for a small fee 🙂
