Well, this is the conclusion to our 2 part blog on alternative seating! This post, we are going to highlight the possibilities using mismatched vintage chairs, hay bales, and our handcrafted Farm Table benches. Hopefully The Attic will inspire ideas and properly show you the dynamic uses of each alternative! Happy reading!

Mismatched Vintage Chairs

Here at The Attic, we have an endless variety of mismatched, vintage chairs. Some of these chairs boast vintage fabrics, some a shabby chic white, and other boast a natural wood. Regardless, you're sure to find the perfect collection of chairs for your special day! Mismatched chairs bring a sophisticated yet chic feel to your wedding environment. Not only are the chairs adorable together, but you can also mix our chairs with our traditional church pews or Farm Table benches. Take a look at a few of our vintage chairs and how we used them!

Hay Bales

Hay Bales are a country chic way to add your special day! What's so great about hay bales is that they are like blank slates; you can customize them to your wedding theme! Just take cute blankets, quilts, textiles, etc and place them on top of the bales to tie in any color or pattern! What's also great about hay bales, is that they are green! After the wedding, donate them to a local farmer! Take a look at some of the ideas we found and liked and let us know if you're interested in using hay bales for your event or special day! There are endless possibilities!

Seating Alternatives: Church Pews & Quilts

As mentioned in our last post, we're doing a special 2-part post on alternatives to traditional wedding seating. This first post is all about church pews and quilts, and how the Attic might help you using the large variety we have of each for your wedding or special event. 

Church Pews

There's something about traditional, white church pews, lining the aisle. They're simple, beautiful, and enhance the environment without stealing the focus. They can easily be adorned with bursts of beautiful bouquets, here and there, or other charming details such as fabric bunting. The possibilities are endless! What our previous brides love best is that they remain traditional and elegant, but are easily dolled up with personal touches. By visiting our gallery, you can see multiple pictures of how our church pews have been used to create a special and unforgettable day!

Here are a few of our church pews!

Quilts

Whether you want to create a traditional and chic wedding, or a relaxed and charming environment, quilts may be the way to go! They are available in so many colors and patterns, that you're sure to find just the ones for your special day! Not only is there endless varieties but quilts can't help but make the environment comfortable and casual in a really delightful and unexpected way. It's always fun to incorporate a few of your family heirloom quilts that have a story or even rent a few to fill in the gaps. 

Here are a few ideas:

There are so many choices to choose from! So we are going to feature a few choices that we have to offer, in a 2 part blog post. The first post will include traditional church pews and one of a kind quilts; the second blog post will include vintage inspired mismatched chairs, country chic hay bales, and our Farm Table benches.
