Reality Check

Hi Ladies, I just wanted to vent for a second. Everything I planned thus far that I want for my wedding has come to fruition. However, I really want to have ivory chair covers with the burnt orange sash for my reception. The thing is they are so expensive and it's so irritating to me because I want them and can't afford them. Maybe if we weren't having 300 in attendance it wouldn't be that bad. For 300 chair covers alone at the cheapest place is $900 to rent. I even looked on Ebay and they have them for $1800-$2400. I know that this is out of my reach but it's so disappointing because that's somehing that I've always wanted. I haven't even mentioned it to FH because he would have a cow. My mother and 2 wedding coordinators are like no mam, that's too costly. I could easily charge them but we have no credit card debt and I want to stay that way. Ok, my reality check is I can't afford it so get over it! Just needed to express my feelings.

Re: Reality Check

I really hope that you can find a way. Do you know a good seamstress that would be able to do that for a fraction of that price. Maybe some of the ladies here can recommend one for you. Don't give up hope. PB&J, I wish you all the best! Hang in there darling.

Re: Reality Check

Thanks Rony for the suggestion but to do 300 would be alot to do when all the seamstress that I know have a full time job. I appreciate your support. I'm going to be fine.

Re: Reality Check

Thanks Charly for taking the time to look. Unfortunately they are about the same price as all the others I've checked on. If I ordered from there it would be about $1200 plus shipping cost. Again, I appreciate your looking out for me.

Re: Reality Check

Thanks Charly for the website! If you find any more places, please let me know. My thing is, my venue have all the chair covers that I need, just not the color sash that I want. They have ivory sashes, but I wanted to add some color to it as well.

PB&J, I didn't know that we had the same colors. You have great taste! lol Good luck to you.

Re: Reality Check

Try www.uslinen.net. They have them at $2.00 a chair including the organza sash. I don't think they get much cheaper than that.

I was going to get mine from them until I found out I only have two hours to decorate, so I had to hire a professional to come in and put them on. The place I am getting mine's website is www.chaircoversonline.com. They are running a small special. They are charging $2.70 a chair to rent them, and $3.70 a chair to rent them and have them put them on. Don't you just hate how expensive this stuff is.

PureBliss, sorry I don't have any suggestions for you. I wanted to tell you you are blessed to have your mother and 2 wedding coordinators. When is your wedding?
