Chairs are one of the most-photographed details at a wedding. They line the ceremony, frame every reception table, and set the tone for the whole look. Choosing the right style makes a real difference. Here are the wedding chair styles we rent in Los Angeles and how to match them to your day.
Popular Wedding Chair Styles
- Chiavari: the classic wedding chair. Elegant, lightweight, and timeless, it fits almost any formal or traditional wedding.
- Cross back: a wood chair with a relaxed, vineyard feel. Ideal for rustic and outdoor weddings.
- Willow: a refined black chair that adds sophistication to modern and formal settings.
- Louise ghost: clear acrylic that keeps sightlines open and reads clean and contemporary.
- Tolix: a metal chair with an industrial edge for loft and warehouse venues.
- French bistro and Louise cane: softer, romantic styles that suit garden and vineyard weddings.
- Padded folding: a comfortable, budget-friendly option that works well for ceremonies and larger guest counts.
Matching the Chair to Your Wedding
Let your venue and style guide the choice. A ballroom or formal wedding calls for Chiavari or willow chairs, while a barn or vineyard suits cross back or cane. Modern and minimalist weddings look great with ghost chairs. Many couples use one style for the ceremony and another for the reception, or mix styles between the head table and guest tables for a layered look.
How Many Chairs You Need
Plan one chair per guest for the ceremony and one per seat at the reception. If your ceremony and reception are in different spaces, you may need chairs in both, or time to reset the same chairs between them. We can help you work out the right counts and a plan that keeps the day running smoothly.
Chairs and Tables Together
Chairs look their best paired with the right tables. If you are still building your layout, see our table and chair rentals to plan both together and keep the styling consistent across the room.
