Why limewash

Limewash wedding chair hire: why couples choose it

Limewash sits between bright white and polished gold. It's soft, natural and calm - the reason it has become one of the most requested Chiavari finishes for London and South East weddings.

Texture you can see

The grain shows through the wash, so the chairs look crafted and natural up close - never flat or plastic.

Two moods in one chair

Near ivory in daylight, warm stone by candlelight. The chairs suit your ceremony and your evening alike.

At home in barns and marquees

Limewash sits naturally against beams, canvas, brick and greenery - where shiny finishes can look out of place.

Any colour scheme

Neutral enough for sage, warm enough for terracotta, calm enough for all-white styling.

Slim and space-saving

The narrow Chiavari frame lets you seat up to 10 around a 5.5ft round without crowding.

Soft in photographs

A matt, pale finish doesn't glare under flash or sunshine, giving photographers an even tone to work with.

Limewash vs white Chiavari chairs

White is bright, clean and classic - great for crisp marquees and outdoor ceremonies. Limewash is softer and more natural, with visible grain, and it warms up as the light drops. If your venue has timber, brick or lots of greenery, limewash usually sits better.

Styling inspiration

Limewash chairs for marquees, barns and gardens

Limewash is a calm base, so your flowers, linen and candles can do the talking. Four settings it suits especially well.

Rustic barn

Long trestle tables, linen runners and trailing eucalyptus. Limewash ties the barn's timber to the softness of the flowers.
