8. Bohemian Macrame and Driftwood Chair Backs
The chairs at the sweetheart table or the front row of your ceremony deserve a special touch to signify their importance. Bohemian macrame and driftwood chair backs add a beautiful, hand-woven texture to your seating arrangement, perfect for free-spirited, coastal, or desert-themed weddings. These beautiful textile pieces can also be repurposed as wall hangings in your home after the wedding day.
To craft these chair backs, source smooth, weathered pieces of driftwood that are slightly wider than the backs of your reception chairs. Cut several lengths of natural cotton macrame cord, ensuring they are long enough for your desired design. Mount the cords onto the driftwood using lark’s head knots. From there, you can use basic macrame knots, such as square knots and half-hitches, to create a simple, elegant geometric pattern that tapers down into a soft, fringed V-shape. Tie the driftwood securely to the backs of the bride and groom chairs using matching cotton cord or delicate silk ribbons.
