Simple Sash Bow
Instructions:
The easiest way to decorate the back of the chair is to tie the fabric with a knot, making it the center of the two tails coming out of each side. It is nice as it is but can be breath taking if the center knot is embellished by attaching a decorative item such as an ornament, a single flower or a bunch of flowers, a small round frame with a photo of the bride and groom or with a thank you note to the guest seating on the decorated chair, etc. Choose the decoration that is the most perfect for the motif of your event.
Classic Chair Bow

Tie the fabric as above. Make sure that both tails are even in size. Use the tails to make a bow. The classic chair bow is quite elegant as it is but just like the sash can be exquisite if the center of the bow is embellished by with a decorative item such as an ornament, a single flower, a bunch of flowers, a small round frame with a photo of the bride and groom or with a thank you note to the guest seating on the decorated chair, etc. Choose the decoration that is the most perfect for the motif of your event.
