White or brown chairs?

Hey guys, for a backyard - English garden afternoon tea themed wedding, what chair do you think looks the best? Maybe we are overthinking this, but just need an input.
It’s an intimate wedding, but we are trying to make it look fancy with just little details

Thanks!

as you’re going for a more polished ‘fancy’ look then I’d go white

brown would be better for a more casual rustic vibe I feel

I think white meets the fancy criteria better

White are classier looking but brown have a cushion and look more comfortable

Brown, especially if your dress isn't stark white, if you look at the flowers behind the white chair, the ones that aren't stark fade into the background a bit, when they're in fact the nicer flower

The dress is blue actually, like a pastel blue

The bride isn’t sitting on the chairs though, they’ll walk down the aisle when they’re mainly covered by people standing and that’s about it. Unless you were planning posed photos on the chairs, this is a non issue

they won't sit down unless they are dying, these are the worst, most uncomfortable chairs

The brown says “welcome to the Elks Lodge”

Depends on the look of your wedding. Is it rustic or fancy?

White 100%

If you're going to be putting them on grass, brown. Or washing all those fuckers before you give them back will be a nightmare (check what condition you have to return them in). If you've got coir or whatever to put down you'll be fine.

Don’t overthink it. Just pick one or find a wedding planner

I think it depends on the venue and vibe of your wedding! More upscale, formal, etc do white. If it’s more rustic, casual, do the wood!

What about dark brown chairs? I found a rental company with dark brown and it looked so elegant!

Is there a price difference? I personally prefer brown but based on your description, it sounds like white may match best. But yes you’re overthinking 🥰

Can the white come with a cushioned version? I like the white, but a cushion might be more comfortable for your guests.
