Tiffany vs Wimbledon Chairs: Which Should You Hire?

Both are elegant, lightweight event chairs suited to weddings; the main difference is the frame style, so the choice usually comes down to the look you want.

The Tiffany chair

The Tiffany chair, also called a Chiavari, has a slim, ridged back and a classic silhouette that has become the default for formal weddings. It photographs well, stacks neatly, and pairs with almost any colour scheme through a seat cushion or a tied sash.

The Wimbledon chair

The Wimbledon chair has a similar refined, lightweight feel with a slightly different back design that some hosts prefer for a cleaner, more contemporary line. It is also the sturdier of the two on grass, so it suits an outdoor lawn ceremony as well as a reception.

How to choose

Pick on appearance and on what suits your tables and linen, and on your surface: Tiffany chairs are best on solid, flat ground, while Wimbledon chairs cope better with grass. For a lawn or uneven setting, tell us the ground and we will advise. If you are unsure, hire a couple of each to compare before you decide on the full count.
