Make any occasion special

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

When a special occasion is mentioned most people think of weddings, birthdays, proms or college balls, which are all significant dates and grand events. Well, why not start to create special occasions whenever you feel like it, and make life that little bit more exciting?

You could celebrate the sun shining for the first day all summer with a grand garden party; hold a murder mystery party and recreate a stately home with a banquet hall in your dining room; invite friends over for a meal – just because you feel like catching up – and make it something extraordinary. Hide the TV, don your smartest garments, crack open the champagne and surprise your honoured guests with the VIP treatment.

Providing something a little out of the ordinary for your guests is guaranteed to put a smile on everyone’s faces before they even encounter your scintillating conversation. Enjoy the excitement and planning, and anticipate the wonderful moment when you open the front door to your guests and see their faces. Think carefully about the setting; make it as grand and luxurious as possible with table linen, napkin rings and even chair covers to complement your room (or garden).

With a little imagination, none of this has to be expensive as it looks. At Special Occasions Covered, we offer chair cover hire at very competitive rates, with a choice of organza sashes to offer that extra touch of class. A simple and highly effective transformation is easy – the rest is up to you. We provide the best chair cover hire service, and aim to make your event extra special.

Choosing a colour theme for your special occasion

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

Colour coordinating your event – outfits, tables, chair covers and flowers – can give your guests the wow factor on arrival. When choosing the colour, you could plump for a favourite that sparks a fond memory or a colour appropriate to your theme, if you have one. However, if you’re spoilt for choice, think about the meaning of different colours and choose one that fits this way:

Red: Fiery, emotionally intense red is the colour of love, and choosing a vivid shade is a bold, sexy statement.

Pink: Tone down your red to a gentle pink for romance and tranquil calm.

Blue: This colour is also chosen for a calm, soothing atmosphere. Blue symbolises loyalty and is also said to aid productivity.

Green: In the past, brides wore green for fertility, and a masculine, dark green suggests wealth. This colour also reminds us of nature. It’s gentle on the eye and said to help us relax.

Yellow: Attention seeking, optimistic and positive, sunny yellow is said to aid concentration, but is hard on the eye if used excessively.

Purple: Romantic, feminine and long associated with luxury and sophistication, purple reminds us of royalty and wealth.

Choosing a colour theme generates the right mood for your occasion whilst creating a professional, coordinated look for your venue. At Special Occasions Covered, we provide chair covers with a choice of 27 different colours sashes, so you can be sure of complementing your chosen mood.
