Chair covers for girls’ birthdays

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

Little girls love fairy tales. They want to feel like fairies or princesses and wear glamorous ball gowns and tiaras. This never seems to change, so when it comes to creating a girls’ birthday party, why not create a fairy tale wonderland in your own home?

As birthday party events seem to become more costly and complex, you can scale down the occasion’s costs by creating a magical space to enchant all of your guests and transport the girls into a world of imagination. Try the following:

• The outfits: party dresses with bows and sashes, sparkling tiaras and fairy wands. Choose a colour scheme of pinks or purples (always firm favourites) with a touch of sparkling fairy dust.

• The space: Drape fabric over the table, elaborately folded and ornamented with bows. Add chair covers finished with organza sashes to create a fairy tale banquet hall in the simplest dining room. At Special Occasions Covered, we can provide chair cover hire even at short notice.

• The gifts. Create affordable party bags ornamented with bows and sparkles, containing pink or shiny trinkets such as pencils, hair bows or face glitter.

• The games. Choose traditional party games that cost little but incorporate the theme. Try pin the bow on the donkey, musical thrones, or pass a very girly parcel around the room. Just check what music is popular now before you start.

Parties don’t have to be expensive, just imaginative. Here you have all the ingredients for an unforgettable occasion. We provide chair cover hire for a number of special occasions, adding an extra touch of quality to any venue.

Creating a cohesive wedding theme

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

When it comes to the biggest day of your life, it seems there’s often no expense spared, and everything is planned in the minutest detail. However, it’s important to look up from the details every now and then to make sure the big picture is still looking the way it should. You will want everything to look beautiful, and a great way to do this is to ensure you have a cohesive colour theme running throughout all aspects of your day, including the dining chair covers at your reception.

Here are some things you will need to consider when planning your theme:

• The flowers: Often the first thing to be considered, your floral choice can influence all the colours of your theme. You’ll know which flowers appeal to you and a great florist will be able to combine them with flair.

• The bridesmaids: Choose bridesmaids’ dresses to complement the flowers and you’ll have a picture perfect parade walking down the aisle.

• The men: the bridegroom, best man and ushers traditionally wear buttonholes complementing the bride’s bouquet, and you could choose waistcoats to match.

• The venues: Of course, the blooms will carry your theme from venue to venue, but bring complementary touches such as matching napkin rings and place cards to the tables for a personal touch.

• The Chairs: Wedding chair covers finished with an organza sash in the colour of your choice extend your theme to a usually overlooked item of furniture.
At Special Occasions Covered, we make sure that chair cover hire is simple, affordable and will complete your theme for a beautiful day.
