wedding furniture

We are not having a sit down meal at our wedding and we had hiring sofas in mind so if it rains we could chill out in the marquee on sofas however they are ultra expensive to hire!!!!!We can't borrow off friends or family (thought of that one) and we can't find hireable inflatable sofas. If anyone has any great ideas we would be very grateful!!!
Cheers.:T

    We had sofas at our wedding. Some in the marquee and some in the garden. We already owned a couple, but the others were bought very cheaply on eBay. By cheap, I'm talking £5 upwards.

    I think OP is going for a more bohemian style wedding than dressed up folding chair traditional style.
