Chiavari Chair Sash Tying Techniques

Use these sophisticated tie techniques to adorn your chairs and give your guests the VIP experience. Select from the following Chiavari chair sash ideas and techniques:

Simple Bow

Make sure the sash is smooth and wrinkle-free. Drape it over the chair's back, ensuring both ends are the same length. Pull the sash tight after crossing its ends in the center of the chair back. Form a knot by taking one end of the sash and looping it around the other end. Tie the knot neatly and place it in the center of the chair’s back. 

Classic Knot

Here is a straightforward yet elegant method to style Chiavari chairs. Cover the chair's back with your sash and cross the ends in the middle. Take one end of the sash and loop it around the other end to form a knot. Ensure that the knot sits in the middle of the chair’s back. For a neater look, tuck the sash ends under the knot or let them hang down.

Rosette Bow

First, tie a basic knot in the center of the chair back. Create a loop with one end of the sash. Wrap the other end around the loop to form a spiral design. Keep wrapping until you reach the end of the sash. Then, tuck the end of the sash under the spiral to keep it in place.

Double Loop Bow

Drape the sash over the chair's back then cross the ends of the sash in the middle. Make a loop with the ends of the sash to form the first bow, then cross the loops over one another.

Fold each loop back to create new, smaller, small loops. Cross the new loops over each other and form the second, smaller bow on top of the first. 

Decorative Accents

For an even more elegant seating arrangement and event ambiance, add accents to your Chiavari chairs and sashes.

Use fresh and artificial flowers for a natural and romantic touch. Put them either in the middle of a bow, at the knot, or along the sash's length. You can also add ribbons or lace to the sash for a layered, textured look. Lastly, make use of buckles or pins to add sparkle to sashes while keeping them in place.

Keep your event theme in mind when you play with decorative elements. For example, you could use rustic touches like burlap and twine for a country wedding; or satin and lace for a vintage theme.
