Chairs

ATB, 30 January, 2014 at 13:23 Posted on Planning 0 23

Apologies in advance for asking such a question - but do you think these gold chairs will go with my table decor which has a lot of mercury (silver) glass on it - or should I go for the siver chairs (which I think may be a bit 'much):

    I think it would probably depend on what other colours you are having however, I would go with the Silver chairs personally.

    Tables are tresle tables with white tablecloths and a mix of mercury candle holders and crystal bud vases. Flowers are going to be pink / cream roses mainly. Silver wouldn't be overkill would it?

    In my opinion, no. I think the gold chairs would look a little out of place.

    I'm going to say silver too - I don't think it'd be overkill at all. ?

    It'll look lovely with the roses!

    Hmm, I think in principle, gold would work well, but the gold chair you've flashed is a little too gold. So I'd go for silver.

    However........& i'm playing devil's advocate here.......if you hadnt already got your silver glass for the tables, the gold chairs would tone in really nice with Pink & Cream roses......

    I think the silver would be nice and go fine, sounds quite well balanced colours Smiley smile The pink and cream roses sound lovely!

    In the flesh - I like the gold chairs better. This is why I've asked. The silver seems to look a bit cheap. In principle, I think it goes - but I have no idea what exact colour of gold the chairs will end up being, hence my dilemma.

    Soft gold I think would be fine but if they are shiny gold then perhaps not. I actually want cream or some sort of wood chairs but black gold or silver are my only options. In an ideal world I'd have something like this but I can't find anything near:


    My caterer dresses venues with these but I really am not a fan. I know they are popular but they look flimsy and skeletony to me:

    That last option is your winner (in my cabbage). They only look a little bit like fingers.

    MY SD had the bottom (or very similar) ones at her wedding at the weekend and they looked gorgeous and vintage, but if that's not your theme then maybe not? I'd go for silver out of the two you've flashed at the top.

    Agree with everyone else. Go for the silver ones, or the last fingery ones.

    I think the last ones you flashed are lovely and would go a lot better than the first ones flashed, they look classier too and more expensive I think Smiley smile

    I'd go with the silver ones personally. The flowers will add plenty of colour to dissipate the silver for any photos, and once everyone is sat down, you won't really see them!

    I think the last ones you flashed are the best and would fit with the colour scheme the most. there are such varying shades of gold and silver and if theyre too much or too shiny they might look a bit weird either way.

    The above is my fav (I dont like any of the other chairs) but when we looked at hiring something very similar we were quoted about £150 per chair!! So made do with vile chair covers.

    I don't know, are you having hallucinations and delusions? (Sorry, pet peeve of mine.)

    ATB - We had silver chairs and I really liked them.

    Ah now I still don't know! Gold is out, it's now between silver and skeletor fingers..... Hmm!

    My venue is a village hall, it's really nice inside with cream walls and pale grey/blue curtains but perhaps using the silver chairs would look too much like I was trying to make it look too posh, when I need to keep in mind it is, after all, a village hall! With that in mind I should probably go with skeletor....

    If it's the big hall that I've been in, I think you could get away with the silver chairs no bother! It's quite a big floor space, so the nice chairs wouldn't be as posh as you might think!

    Funky - I'm actually glad I couldn't find anything like that to hire near me if the price was daft!

    RKB - I was going to ask if you'd been in the hall. It is quite big so perhaps it would take the siver ones...

    The very annoying thing is both the silver and gold chairs have obviously been painted. I just want plain wood ones!
