Wholesale Chair Bands
Chair bands are stretch loops that slide over the back of a chair to add a strip of color, sparkle, or texture without tying a bow. This CV Linens™ collection includes glitz sequin, velvet ruffle, rosette, solid spandex, striped, and animal print bands. They fit banquet chairs and Chiavari chairs with backrests up to 16 inches wide. You can use them on bare chairs or over chair covers, and they work alongside the other chair covers, sashes, and chair linens in our range.

Chair Band Styles
Glitz Ruffle Sequin Chair Bands
These bands are covered in small sequins that are stitched close together and overlap, so very little of the spandex base shows through. A gathered ruffle at the center looks like a bow. Choose them when you want seating to catch the light, such as at quinceañeras, anniversary parties, or evening receptions. Colors include silver, champagne, blush/rose gold, black, burgundy, and fuchsia. For more shine, you can add a rhinestone clip or brooch to the center.
Velvet Ruffle Stretch Chair Bands
Made from a spandex-velvet blend, these bands have a soft pile and a cinched ruffle detail. They give a warmer, more muted finish than sequins. That makes them a good fit for fall and winter events, formal dinners, and vintage-inspired themes. Colors include black, white, royal blue, dark dusty rose/mauve, terracotta, and dark turquoise.
Rosette Spandex Chair Bands
These bands have 3D rosette flowers stitched onto a smooth spandex base. The floral texture works well for weddings, bridal showers, and garden-themed parties. Colors include ivory, white, red, and blush/rose gold. The neutral shades let a colorful table design stand out. You can see every color in the rosette spandex chair band collection.
Solid Spandex Chair Bands
A plain spandex band is the simplest option in the collection. At about 5 inches wide, it adds a clean band of color and leaves the chair or chair cover visible. Use solid bands to match a wedding palette across many chairs, or pick a contrasting color to mark reserved seating. Colors include royal blue, navy blue, dusty blue, champagne, chocolate brown, lavender, and blush/rose gold. The full color range is in the solid spandex chair band collection.
Stripe and Animal Print Chair Bands
Printed bands suit themed events. Striped bands come in black and white or red and white, and they work for nautical, carnival, or classic black-and-white parties. The animal print bands include cow, giraffe, and leopard. Use cow print for Western, farm, or rustic events, and giraffe or leopard for safari and "wild one" birthday parties.
Check Your Chair Before You Order
Chair bands stretch only as far as a standard banquet chair. Before you buy, measure the widest part of your chair back.
- Backrests up to 16 inches wide: Most banquet chairs and Chiavari chairs fit within this range.
- Folding chairs: These bands are not designed for folding chairs.
- Chairs with covers: Bands can go over a chair cover, but a cover adds some thickness. Check the covered width if you are close to 16 inches.
The width of each style affects the look. Five-inch solid and striped bands give a slim accent. The 8 to 9 inch velvet, animal print, and sequin bands cover more of the chair back.
Styling Chair Bands With Your Tables
Chair bands look best when they repeat a color or texture from the tables. Pair velvet bands with velvet table runners to carry the same texture across the room. Match sequin bands to your napkins, or choose a contrasting napkin color for more interest. Earthy velvet shades like terracotta work well with gold charger plates. Neutral rosette bands give you room to use bolder, more colorful centerpieces.
To mark special seats, use one band style on guest chairs and a different color or texture for the head table, family rows, or VIP seating.
Care and Storage
Sequin and velvet bands need gentle cleaning. For glitz sequin bands, spot clean only when necessary. For velvet ruffle bands, spot clean spills with a clean white cloth and mild soap and water, working from the outside of the stain inward. Let every band air dry completely before storing it. For other styles, check the care instructions on each product page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will chair bands fit folding chairs?
No. These chair bands stretch to fit banquet chairs with a backrest no wider than 16 inches. They will not fit folding chairs or chairs with wider backs.
Can I use chair bands without chair covers?
Yes. Chair bands can go directly on a banquet or Chiavari chair, or over a chair cover for a layered look.
What is the difference between a chair band and a chair sash?
A chair band is a stretch loop that slides over the chair back and stays in place without tying. A chair sash is a length of fabric that you tie or drape into a bow or knot. Sashes take more setup time but offer more styling options.
Which chair band style is best for a wedding?
It depends on your theme. Glitz ruffle sequin bands suit glam or evening receptions. Velvet ruffle bands work for formal or cold-weather weddings. Rosette bands fit romantic and garden themes, and solid spandex bands are a simple way to match your wedding colors.
Can chair bands be reused?
Yes, with gentle care. Spot clean sequin and velvet bands instead of machine washing them, let them air dry fully, and store them folded or rolled in a dry place between events.
