ACRYLIC CHAIRS FOR WEDDINGS & EVENTS

BY JOHN MYERS PHOTOGRAPHY

Associated with contemporary art, acrylic is making its way into modern event design. Now used in various furniture designs, it is a unique addition to any event. The most popular use, however, is in chairs! Typically referred to as “ghost chairs,” this style is a fun, modern twist that can be pulled off year-round. Keep reading to learn how to feature these pieces at your upcoming event!

On-Trend Ceremony Seating

Go with acrylic chairs if you want to wow guests when they enter your wedding event space! Acrylic seating is a simple way to elevate your event, regardless of style or theme. Our most popular chairs for wedding ceremonies are the Acrylic Ghost Arm Chair and Acrylic Ghost Armless Chair

The oval shape of the back of these chairs will lend a sophisticated look that will complement any venue, modern, urban or outdoor. This style is also easy to decorate with ribbon or vinyl appliques across the back.

Timeless Reception Tables

Our favorite way to feature acrylic chairs is at receptions – whether a wedding, corporate event or personal gathering. This style of chair will complement any table, such as our Fruitwood Farm Tables or linens. When choosing the type of seating, we recommend considering your event theme. Whether you are hosting a minimalist or modern event, any Southern Events Ghost Chairs will do the job. For a romantic or whimsical theme, we prefer the Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair due to the intricate back. While the Acrylic Fantasma Side Chair is an easy choice if you want something otherworldly or ethereal.

Pro Tip: Planning to have designated tables for children? Be sure to grab a handful of our Acrylic Chiavari Children’s Chairs

Modern Cocktail Hours

We can’t forget the cocktail hour setup! Big or small, a memorable cocktail hour calls for stylish and comfortable seating, with ample space for guests to sit and mingle. If you are planning to feature a lounge, any of our acrylic chairs make for beautiful add-ons. And these chairs are extremely comfortable, too! For a lounge, we recommend seating with arms. Whereas at cocktail tables or bar tables, arms aren’t necessary. These areas will work well with our armless or backless styles, such as the Acrylic Ghost Barstool, Acrylic Casper Oval Back Barstool, or Acrylic Casper Square Back Barstool
