Associated with contemporary art, acrylic is making its way into modern event design. Now used in an array of furniture designs, it is a unique addition to any event. The most popular use, however, is in chairs! Typically referred to as ‘ghost chairs’, this style is a fun modern twist that can be pulled off year-round. Keep reading to check out our in-stock acrylic chairs. Plus, learn how to feature these pieces at your upcoming event.

On-Trend Ceremony Seating

If you want to wow guests from the moment they enter your wedding event space, then go with acrylic chairs! Acrylic seating is a simple way to elevate your event, regardless of your style or theme. Our most popular chairs for wedding ceremonies are our Acrylic Ghost Arm Chair and Acrylic Ghost Armless Chair. The oval shape of the back of these chairs will lend a sophisticated look that will complement any venue, modern, urban or outdoor. This style is also easy to decorate with ribbon or vinyl applique across the back.

Timeless Reception Tables

Our favorite way to feature acrylic chairs is at receptions, whether it be a wedding, corporate event, or personal gathering. This style of chair will complement any table, such as our Fruitwood Farm Tables, or linens. When choosing the style of seating, we recommend considering your event theme. If you are hosting a minimalist or modern event, either of our Ghost Chairs will do the job. For a more romantic or whimsical theme, we prefer the Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair, due to the intricate back. If you want something otherworldly or ethereal, the Acrylic Fantasma Side Chair is an easy choice.

Pro Tip: Planning to have designated tables for children? Be sure to grab a handful of our Acrylic Chiavari Children’s Chairs.

Modern Cocktail Hours

We can’t forget the cocktail hour setup! Big or small, a memorable cocktail hour calls for stylish and comfortable seating, with ample space for guests to sit and mingle. If you are planning to feature a lounge, any of our acrylic chairs make for beautiful add-ons. And these chairs are extremely comfortable, too! For a lounge, we recommend seating with arms. Whereas at cocktail tables or bar tables, arms aren’t necessary. These areas will work well with our armless, or backless, styles. Such as the Acrylic Ghost Barstool, Acrylic Casper Oval Back Barstool, or Acrylic Casper Square Back Barstool.

Modern romance was the vision for our inspiration style shoot at the breathtaking Estate at Cherokee Dock in Nashville, TN. The shoot featured a dreamy pink, white and gold color palette as ee partnered with the wedding planning team from It Takes Two. Pairing romantic vintage rentals with sleek, modern rentals to create this look, we’re in love with the results!

White draping under a gorgeous magnolia tree on the estate provided the perfect canvas for a romantic outdoor affair. For our garden dining area, we paired vintage inspired Adeline Dining Chairs with Ivory Luxe Linens for texture and romantic style. Our table setting included our elegant Gatsby Champagne Coupe, Madison Glassware, and charming Darcy China combined with metallic modern accents. Our gold Austin Flatware, Vera Floral Gold Accent Dessert Plate, and Medallion Gold Glass Charger provided just enough sparkle while a beautiful floral centerpiece by Petals and Fields tied everything together.

For the ceremony, Acrylic Ghost Chairs provided an unexpected touch of modern style to the ceremony, completing the marriage modern and romantic. A few of our favorite vintage pieces, including our Vintage Harper Couch and Leona Coffee Table, were used to create intimate lounge area while our Acrylic Rectangle Containers tied back to the other modern touches.

The fabulous cake by Lillian Lane Bakery was displayed on an elegant White Chiffon Runner over our Isabel Oval Table, and surrounded the gorgeous confection with candlelight, set off in our Davis Glass Cylinders. So much to love!
