Why the Sonoma Chair is the Garden Wedding Must-Have You Didn’t Know You Needed - Waterford Event Rentals | Chesapeake, VA | Specializing in chair covers, sashes, and more!

If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” beneath a canopy of trees, surrounded by blooms and sunshine, then you know how important it is to choose the right details to match that natural magic. Enter: the Sonoma wooden chair.

This chair isn’t just a seat — it’s a statement. And when it’s paired with a breathtaking venue like the Hermitage Museum and Gardens, something really special happens. Think: timeless charm meets garden-fresh elegance.

Natural Beauty That Blends Right In

The Sonoma chair is known for its sculptural back design and warm wood tone. In the lush, green landscape of the Hermitage, it blends right into the setting — soft, romantic, and effortless. It doesn’t compete with the trees, flowers, or architecture; instead, it enhances them.

And that’s exactly what you want on your wedding day: rentals that complement your vision, not distract from it.

Ceremony Goals

Let’s talk about this ceremony setup. Rows of Sonoma chairs frame a grassy aisle, leading straight to a giant tree at the altar. The floral aisle markers add pops of pink, yellow, and blue, all grounded by fresh greenery that echoes the surrounding gardens. It’s whimsical without being overdone. Dreamy, but grounded. And most importantly? Completely photo-ready.

Versatile Style, All Day Long

What we love most about the Sonoma chair is its flexibility. It works just as beautifully for a romantic outdoor ceremony as it does for a candlelit reception under a tent or twinkle lights. Want to add a little extra flair? Drape chiffon, tuck in a single bloom, or tie on a personalized name tag for guests.

Why It Works

  • Pairs beautifully with any color palette
  • Lightweight but sturdy (aka easy to move from ceremony to reception)
  • Ups the elegance without going too glam
