Self Tie Chair Bags


What Our Customers Are Saying

Nicole B. — Outdoor Wedding Bride
★★★★★
Self-tie chair bags are the most elegant chair covering I've used. They float beautifully in the breeze for outdoor events and the self-tie style lets you customize the bow exactly how you want it. I used these in ivory organza for my garden ceremony and they were breathtaking. The quality far exceeded my expectations at this price.
Charles A. — Event Decorator
★★★★★
I've been using self-tie chair bags for ceremony chairs for years and Linen N' Chair Covers has the best fabric quality I've encountered. The organza is sheer enough to be romantic but sturdy enough to hold a clean bow. Colors are vibrant and accurate. They also make for stunning photos. Repeat customer for life.

★★★★★
I saw self-tie bags at a friend's wedding and knew I had to use them for my own. Ordered 100 in white organza and they arrived pristine. The self-tying format is intuitive — I had my bridesmaids help me set up and we did 100 chairs in under an hour. They photographed beautifully and held their bow shape all night.
Timothy G. — Event Rental Owner
★★★★☆
My clients love the whimsical, flowing look of self-tie chair bags. They're particularly popular for garden weddings and outdoor ceremonies. The quality from Linen N' Chair Covers is consistent and the variety of colors is great. Only minor note: the bags run slightly long on shorter chair backs, but nothing a quick adjustment can't fix.
Alison Y. — Church Wedding Coordinator
★★★★★
We used self-tie chair bags on our pew end chairs for a church ceremony and they were stunning. The flowing organza created a beautiful aisle look. Easy to put on, easy to remove, and they store flat without wrinkling significantly. Genuinely impressed with the quality and value. Will use for every wedding ceremony we coordinate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is a self-tie chair bag and how is it different from a sash?

A: A self-tie chair bag is a fabric sleeve that slips over the chair back entirely, with long fabric tails that extend below and tie into a bow in front. Unlike a sash — which wraps around an already-covered chair — the bag itself provides the full covering and decoration in one piece. They create a flowing, romantic look that's particularly popular for ceremony chairs.

Q2: Are self-tie chair bags suitable for outdoor events?

A: Yes — self-tie chair bags are popular for outdoor ceremonies and garden weddings. Organza and polyester versions are lightweight and add a romantic, flowing element. In breezy conditions, a slightly snugger tie can help keep the bow from shifting.

Q3: How long does it take to put on self-tie chair bags?

A: With a little practice, each bag takes about 30–60 seconds to slip on and tie. For events with 100+ chairs, we recommend having 2–3 people working together. The self-tie format requires no tools or clips, making setup and teardown very fast.

Q4: Can self-tie chair bags be used with chair covers underneath?

A: Self-tie chair bags are designed to be a standalone covering — they slip over the bare chair back and tie themselves. However, some decorators do layer them over a fitted spandex cover for a more structured base. If you'd like advice on layering, our team is happy to help.
