But even with only a home garden or an open veranda as your setting, you can still bring the lush greenery of a Southern plantation to your table display—including the chairs. Then add your personal style and ingenuity to create your own fabulous ways of making your party chairs “go green”! For a truly eye-catching effect, we selected silver chiavari chairs for the striking contrast they would provide when set against green. We suggest that you visit a nursery or home improvement store that carries a wide variety of tropical plants. Add seaweed-like fronds of (4) Staghorn Fern in cool lime green and an exotic (5) Heliconia Bloom in golden orange, and you up the visual impact even more! You can even add a sophisticated air with cymbidium or dendrobium orchids that match your event’s color scheme.
See how the chairs’ foliage decor is a perfect complement to the entire table display—decked out in an invitingly fresh palette of cool greens, ivory, and natural tones. Add charming finishing touches to the chairs, like a plantation-style straw hat and something sweet presented in sinamay gift boxes.
Look for a variety of decorative leaves from tropical plants in shapely forms ranging from hearts to fans. When searching for leaves, visit a nursery or home improvement store that carries a wide variety of tropical plants.
