Pick your palette

Start by choosing colours that complement your table setting, whether it’s classic red and gold, natural neutrals or cool metallics.

Choose your thread

A simple ribbon can go a long way. Drape, knot, or bow it across the chair back, securing it neatly with double-sided tape or a pin. If you’re after a softer look, try layering ribbons in different textures like velvet, linen or satin.

Add your statement

Attach a festive ornament or cut-out silhouette, think stars or bauble shapes, to the ribbon. Wooden or paper shapes work beautifully.

Bring in a bit of nature

Slip in a sprig of greenery or a pinecone for an organic touch. Natural materials add warmth and texture, tying in perfectly with wooden tables and neutral tableware.

The perfect party favour

Write your guests name on each chair decoration. Let them know they’re welcome to take it with them when they leave as a little keepsake of the day.
