From Wedding to Home: Seating
May 20th, 2010 by Allison Silber
I happen to be a big fan of adorable seating at weddings. Whether it is chaise lounges, wooden benches, Victorian chairs, or just adorable couches, the seating arrangement at a wedding can keep the space feeling comfortable and well decorated. Having a lounge area as part of the cocktail reception is a great way to allow guests to relax and mingle a bit, and will keep them from getting antsy while you take your wedding party photos. Nothing will replace the feeling of being in an comfortable and equally gorgeous space at the wedding.
How can you turn your “wedding lounge” from wedding to home, without dragging your very own couch collection to your wedding venue?? Try something like purchasing a lot of adorable throw pillows to place on rented couches. The end result is a great little lounge space, decorated mostly with cute pillows, and a fairly inexpensive budget for the space.
If you plan to get wooden benches for your wedding, you could purchase a few of them (often found for about $50 at places like Ikea or Target) and use them to create an amply seated backyard area after the wedding. It may seem like a lot, but adding a few benches in the front yard and in the backyard would look nice and provide all the seating you may need.

These pillows are adorable and would look great at a wedding as well as at home! Be creative and fun with the colors and patterns, throw pillows will add instant decor and draw the attention to these inexpensive yet great looking decorations!
