A place to sit...

I realize that I have yet to write about my venue. I can't find my camera cord at the moment and even though the pictures I took don't even come close to capturing how gorgeous it is, they give you a better idea of what the general landscape is. ANYWAY, in the meantime, I want to talk about chairs. If were up to Mr. KM, we'd have every single guest hanging out in one of these:

That would be a great look, wouldn't it? Granted, our venue might not be able to handle 165 recliners, but we'd make it work somehow. I mean really, we wouldn't really need tables with these bad boys, just some kind of breakfast tray or tray tables (we could little bud vases on each one to dress it up!). Mr. KM has an inexplicable love for his recliner, and it is inexplicably ugly. I wish I had a picture of it, but it looks almost exactly like the one above, but in a fake tan leather material. Vinyl, if you will.

Many, many of our lovely bee readers have had (or lusted after) these:

Oh yes, you know these. These chairs seem to be at the top of everyone's wedding lust list,

but can I tell you a secret? Lean in close cause I don't want to say it real loud. I don't like chiavari chairs. Excuse me while I duck and cover. Don't get me wrong. They're pretty, they are. But there are some days that I think they look like someone took some bamboo, nailed it together, painted it gold and called it a day. Plus, since I tend to lean back in my chairs, they're horribly uncomfortable for my back (one time I had BRUISES from sitting in one too long; the knobby things were too pronounced). And for $1520 -not including delivery, set up, or take down- for something that I don't LOVE... we'll probably be using the chairs that come with my venue (this is just an example):

I think they're super cute, super classic and super easy to dress up (any ideas? I haven't started that part of planning yet). What's more, there's 498 of them at my venue, so in case we have some SERIOUS wedding crashing going on, we'll be covered. Or at least everyone will have a place to sit. They might have to share mini crab cakes with their neighbor.
