Your wedding ceremony

August 26th, 2010

It used to be traditional to be married by a vicar in a church. However, times are now changing and so are people’s choice of venue.

If you decide that a church wedding is not for you, there are hotels that can have their rooms set up for a wedding ceremony. The advantages of having the ceremony at the hotel are that you can also hold the wedding reception there. This means that your guests do not have to drive from place to place, and they can also book a room and stay in the hotel overnight if they wish.

You can have the ceremony set out as you wish, but it is the standard to have seats on either side of the room, with an aisle in the middle for the bride to walk down. For the seats themselves, the hotel will only have standard chairs. You may prefer these chairs to be decorated to tie in better with the wedding theme. It may be an idea to hire chair covers.

You do not only need chairs for your guests during the ceremony. The bride and groom also require seats at the table whilst they are signing the wedding register. These chairs could be in many photographs, so you need to make sure that they look the part. Chair cover hire can help with this.

If you want your chairs decorated, then here at Special Occasions Covered we specialize in wedding chair covers for you to hire. The chair covers that we have come in a wide range of colours to suit your wedding day.

Your Big Day

August 6th, 2010

Your wedding day is a big event in your life and it can take a long time to organise. You have to make sure that you have everything in place to ensure that your day is special. There are very important things to organise, such as the church, the reception venue, the cake, invitations and the outfits.

Once you have picked your venue, you have to decorate it in the colour theme that you have selected for your big day. Flowers and balloons can also be used to help emphasise the theme.

If you are having a sit down meal at your wedding reception, you need to make sure that you have a seating plan, and that the tables are decorated to suit how you have envisaged your wedding.

One of the biggest problems at the wedding venue can be the chairs that are placed at the dinner table. The venues own chairs may not be a suitable match for your chosen colour theme and they could clash. Trying to get chairs to match your colour scheme can be hard, so you may need to decorate the chairs.

Here at Special Occasions Covered we will be able to solve your chair dilemma as we provide hire chair covers, so that you can cover each chair to suit your wedding theme. The chairs have covers put on them and then they are decorated with a sash, which can be any colour of your choice.

Having your dining chair covers put on to the chairs can add the finishing touches to your wedding reception.

Come dine with me

July 23rd, 2010

You are planning a dinner for friends at your home. You always keep your home immaculate and tidy, and there are your expensive light coloured furniture and cushions that you keep spotless. But if you know there are going to be a number of toddlers in the group, there would be enough to keep your eyes darting while you keep the conversations going.

With the entertaining to do, you just cannot keep your eye on all the toddlers running about. Though stocking up on some good stain removers might be helpful if disaster strikes, it might not always turn out to be the best option when it is expensive furniture or upholstery at stake. However, going for good chair covers could be a great help under such circumstances.

One good thing about opting for chair covers is they can protect your expensive furniture without ruining the aesthetics. The affordable chair covers make sure your furniture remains intact, while blending in with the rest of your décor. Chair covers now come in such a wide range of colours and types, that you are sure to find the ones that would suit your furniture, home and budget. It is even possible to get them custom made.

At Special Occasions Covered, we have a huge range of chair covers and even sashes to suit different budget ranges. If you are planning a big party and need a large number of chair covers just for a day or two, you can even hire them from us.

You can tell our customers appreciate our efforts

July 18th, 2010

All of our chair covers and sashes come back to us via courier after the event. One thing that we always appreciate and never fail to be surprised by is the care the customer takes with our stock. Just the little things like the way the chair covers and sashes have been folded prior to them being placed in to the box for re-collection says that the client really appreciated the linen and the way that it helped to transform their function room for the big day. Of course, the testimonials say it with words but the care to which our clients take with the chair covers and sashes is something we will always appreciate and I would like to just say a big “thank you” to you all.

Our nationwide service

July 15th, 2010

Our website states that we are a nationwide supplier of chair covers for hire and I would just like to talk about this for a minute. Although we do not offer a nationwide fitting service, we have, and will supply, quality chair covers and sashes to any UK destination at an affordable price. We have so far this year sent our chair covers and sashes as far afield as The Isle of White, The Isle of Skye in the Scottish Outer Hebrides and even to the Shetland Islands. We have another booking for South Uist in the Scottish Outer Hebrides coming up soon.

The feedback we have received from these customers is that they found it difficult to find a chair cover hire company that would supply to these far away destinations and they were relieved and pleased that thay had found us and used our service. One thing I think is worth mentioning is that for this type of booking we will need a little bit of notice. Although the chair covers and sashes are only used for the one weekend, they take a week to arrive at the destination and a week to come back to us afterwards, so for those clients who are looking for a last minute booking in the Scottish Highlands it may be worth contacting us at least 3 weeks before your event.

Last minute bookings

July 7th, 2010

The wedding season is in full swing at the moment with July and August being our busiest months of the year, however it would seem that there are two types of client out there. The first type is the client that has already decided in advance that they will definitely hire chair covers and have booked these with us well in advance for these busy months, some bookings are infact over a year old. The other type of client we are seeing a lot of is those who are leaving it too the last minute to book their chair covers, even in these busy months.

I think the rationale of this latter type of client is that once they have paid for all the essential wedding costs, ie venue, dress, cake etc, if they have any spare funds as the big day gets nearer they will treat themselves to the added elegance of chair covers. Here at Special Occasions Covered we are always happy to help those with last minute bookings, so much so that we have recently increased our stock of chair covers by an additional 30% in order to help satisfy these last minute orders. We thouroughly understand the rationale of our two types of client and we will always go the extra mile to help with last minute enquiries, should you fall into this catergory and you would like to treat yourselves to some wedding chair covers for your day, please contact us and we’ll do our best to help out.

Giving the humble chairs an extreme makeover

July 3rd, 2010

The stunning bride, the breathtaking groom, the loveliest orchids and the most delectable cuisine – no matter how perfect everything is, omitting a seemingly minor detail (such as the chairs for the venue), can just about ruin the perfect setting you create for your wedding. When you hire wedding venues, it most often turns out that they provide the chairs for the event. But, the chairs that they do give may not always be exactly the best looking ones, or ones that would go with the colour scheme you have in mind.

One thing you can do to get around this problem is to go for elegant chair covers to transform the unseemly chairs. By going for the chair covers, the major advantage is you do not have to overshoot your budget, ordering expensive chairs to replace the provided ones. And at the same time, you can fit them into the colour scheme you have planned and give the humble wedding chairs an extreme makeover, transforming them into elegant little seats with a pretty bow in the middle.

At Special Occasions Covered, we have a wide range of wedding and dining chair covers and sashes to suit various chairs and colour schemes. You can even order a sample from us by mail for the chairs at your venue. By doing such a seemingly simple thing as decking the chairs with the right chair cover, you will be surprised how your wedding venue can become that perfect fairy tale setting.

Make Your Party Stand Out With Chair Covers

June 21st, 2010

Parties can be thrown for lots of different reasons. No matter what the celebration or occasion, everything has got to be perfect and there is a lot of planning involved for the person organising it. It is usually the done thing to ask friends and family for a little bit of help and allocate different jobs to each of them, relieving some of the stress involved.

There are lots of different ways to make your party stand out from the rest. Maybe something totally out of the ordinary like an ice sculpture or a pick and mix section for the kiddies will ensure that people will remember your party for years to come.

Throwing a surprise party for a close family member or friend can be quite tricky; to keep it a surprise you must only let a minimal number of guests know so that they can help you. The other guests can be sent invitations nearer to the time, this way there is less chance of the surprise being given away by accident.

Whatever you decide, we are sure that your party will be perfect. You will want to make sure your decoration stands out, and here at Special Occasions Covered we can offer the best in table decoration. Chair covers can totally transform the look of the room and lend some style and sophistication. Using chair covers make all the chairs look the same and can also hide some unsightly seating that the venue may provide.

Dinner Parties To Impress

June 7th, 2010

At one time dinner parties where considered important, high class events. People who were trying to impress friends or business partners would invite important members of the society to their house for a meal and drinks. This was seen as a way to show off their houses, network and impress their boss.

However these days it is a much more affordable thing to do. Friends and family often invite each other around to their homes to share a meal in a more casual capacity. Even children are invited along nowadays to join in the fun.

It is a good idea to hire some dining chair covers for your furniture to protect it from accidental spills and stains; here at Special Occasions Covered we offer a number of different options for chair cover hire, making sure there is something to suit everybody’s budget.

Not only is it sometimes necessary to use these dining chair covers to protect your furniture but it may also be to hide unsightly stains or marks that are already there. Your dining set may be looking its age, so part of being the perfect host would be to use specially designed chair covers to give your guests a clean and comfortable place to sit whilst enjoying their meal and their company.

There is nothing better than being able to enjoy a meal and a few relaxing drinks after a long week at work with your chosen friends and family whilst also enjoying a freshly prepared meal in a nice cleanly dressed kitchen.

Comfort Is The Key

May 22nd, 2010

When many of us take the big step of moving out of the family home, we usually have a vision of our future home, and the way that we want it to look. A homely place for you to live, and perhaps begin to start your family in, is at the top of many peoples’ agenda.

To make your house homely and comfortable, there are a few things that you could do. Firstly, the wall decorations that you use in each room could be warm, vibrant colours, and the furniture may be large and comfortable. Each room could have a different theme or set of colours to break it up; your settee and other large furniture items might be a neutral colour, so that even when you change your decoration, they still fit with the decor.

Personal family photographs should be scattered about the place with cushions and throws, to make the room feel inviting and look comfortable. Using fragranced air fresheners can help to relax and calm the mood of your family and friends, and the lighting can also have an effect on people.

In the kitchen diner area the table seats should have chair covers, firstly to protect them, and also to make them comfortable. Here at Special Occasions Covered, we offer a wide range of chair covers to suit a range of needs. Being one of the top chair cover hire companies in the UK, we can pride ourselves on our service, and customer care, being second to none.
