Come dine with me

Friday, 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.

Our nationwide service

Thursday, July 22nd, 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.

You can tell our customers appreciate our efforts

Sunday, 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.

Fancy Chairs for Your Big Day

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

You’ve booked the restaurant for the rehearsal dinner, the church, and the hall for your reception. You’ve got your dress, your flowers, your jewellery, and your makeup. But when you decide to rent tables and chairs for your wedding day, you might discover that a lot of chairs for hire are quite ugly, and won’t match your wedding décor.

To have fancy chairs to match your wedding themes and colours, all you need to do is get some wedding chair covers. Chair covers can be rented right along with your chairs, and they come in all shapes and sizes, so you’re sure to find covers that fit your particular choice of chairs. You can get chair covers in white, ivory, or black, and organza sashes for the chairs in a rainbow of colours, so you’ll be sure to find a colour that fits perfectly with your flowers or bridesmaid gowns.

Chair covers will fit banquet chairs, metal folding chairs, plastic stacking chairs, and just about any other event chair you can think of. Renting wedding chair covers is usually reasonably inexpensive as well. A blasé room will be transformed when you cover your chairs and add a pretty bow. So, if you’re having a hard time finding the chairs you like, why not wrap them up and make them look as pretty as your wedding gifts? After all, it’s your special day, so you shouldn’t have to settle for anything less than fantastic, even if it is just chairs.

Last minute bookings

Wednesday, 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

Saturday, 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.
