Your wedding ceremony

Thursday, 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.

How to Make a Wedding Reception Look Great

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

After the serious business of exchanging marriage vows, your wedding reception will be your first official function as a bona fide married couple. A reception is a time of togetherness and celebration so it is only right that you should want everything at your venue to look great. There are many ways to add a personal touch to your reception such as table displays, balloons and flowers, although there is one element of a reception venue that is frequently overlooked.

Your reception will most likely be held in a function suite where the chairs may not be a colour or fabric to match the theme of your day. A great way to address this problem and to bring a touch of glamour to your reception is to use wedding chair covers. Chair covers are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes and are a versatile way to decorate the seating at a reception venue.

They are typically made of fine linen which effortlessly covers chairs in a stylish way to make them into something far more suitably elegant for your big day. A wide range of colours are available, as are other refinements such as bows, tassels and organza sashes. Traditionally, chair covers for weddings are white, although you can of course choose whichever colour best suits your particular theme. By hiring wedding chair covers for your big day, you can be sure that your reception venue will look as good as you do.

Your Big Day

Friday, 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.
