The right seating instantly elevates any event. Take your aesthetic to iconic levels by following three chic tips we gleaned from this Father of the Bride style wedding published in Over the Moon.
PLAY WITH THE ELEMENTS
I have always loved the movie 'Father of the Bride,' so that was my inspiration. I wanted everything to be elegant but understated, and I leaned into the coastal chic-meets-Texas aesthetic,” #OTMBride Kamry Turney says of her Ash Event Co. Dallas wedding, held at the groom's parents' home.
For this chic wedding, luxury planners Ash Event Co took Kamry’s words to heart and selected three different chair options that leaned into the tactile details of the bride’s chosen aesthetic for an epic backyard wedding. Coastal-Chic-Meets-Texas offered an ideal chance to play with rattan textures, refined silhouettes, and complementing natural tones.
CEREMONY SEATING: Nothing says "You may be seated" in a gorgeous backyard like the Italian-influenced Spindle Chair. She is a classic outdoor seat reimagined with a natural finish, woven seat, and a delightful air of elegance--especially when surrounded by Jackson Durham's floral aisle.
FRAME EACH SCENE
Great planners and photographers allow each area of the event or wedding to shine. They are not only thinking of the mood in terms of how guests feel in the moment but also how those cinematic moments are captured and documented for the bride to relive again and again.
Seating is a great way to fully transform each area of your venue or property into its own atmosphere. By offering separately staged seating areas chosen with painstaking detail, each zone of Kamry's wedding felt like it was a special moment within a cohesive experience. While the Spindle Chair graced the ceremony, the White Mid-Century Modern Chair added a chic spot for the bridal party and guests to enjoy on their way to the ceremony or during cocktail hour (brilliantly captured by Eric Kelley Photography).
POOLSIDE COCKTAILS: The Herman Miller-inspired mid-century modern chair feels as fresh today as it did in the Mad Men Era. Characterized by clean lines, gentle curves, and organic shape, this popular poolside pairing inspired this amazing Slim Aaron style photography of the bridal party and transitioned throughout the evening as an inviting option for guests needing fresh air. This specialty chair is available in WHITE, BLACK, and NATURAL.
SERENITY NOW
We don’t know who needs to hear this, but seated or synchronized dinner service seating can be luxurious without every feeling stuffy.
Ash Event Co chose the beautiful bistro style Cane Back Chair not only to mirror the coastal chic aesthetic, but to also put guests at ease during a three-course meal of caesar salad, branzino and beef tenderloin, and carrot cake from Art2Catering. Talk about Southern hospitality! This elegant bistro-style seating made guests comfortable all evening, which allowed for more time spent lingering around the table with guests, enjoying toasts, as well as for much-needed moments of rest during a late night on the dance floor.
KICK YOUR HEALS UP: There is just something about rattan that sets the tone for a trendy yet tranquil atmosphere. The Cane Back Chair naturally leans into a nostalgic, Southern meets coastal aesthetic. This specialty chair is available in BLACK or WHITE so you can bring the perfect amount of contrast and composure to any event.
