Chair Covers Help Make Weddings Perfect

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

If you are arranging your wedding day, you might well be experiencing a combination of nerves and excitement. After all, you are preparing to make a public commitment to your partner during what may well be one of the most important days of your life so far. Also, you might be spending a considerable amount of money on the occasion, so you no doubt want every last detail to be perfect.

One issue you need to focus on is the decoration for your wedding and reception venues. This plays a significant role in how your guests will view the event, and of course on your own impression of your big day.

As well as flower arrangements, table decorations and other such details, you will also have to think about the seating. After all, the chairs provided by venues are often lacking in the style and charm needed for special occasions of this nature. And, because it is likely that there will be a lot of chairs on show, this could ruin the appearance of the space.

This is where we come in. Here at Special Occasions Covered, we supply a vast range of wedding chair covers, meaning you should be able to find a style and colour that suits your event perfectly.

And the best thing is, because we understand the importance of value, we provide hire services at low prices. This means your budget needn’t come under too much pressure as a result of the decorations.

Select a Theme When Choosing Chair Covers

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

Chair covers are now commonly used at a wide range of events. This is no surprise given the stunning visual impact such accessories can create. Although they are simple in principle, they can transform the entire appearance of a room.

However, in order to get the most from them, it is important the colours selected tie in with the theme used throughout the rest of the decorations. For example, if you are arranging a wedding and have opted for a lilac theme for the table decorations, bridesmaids’ dresses, flowers and other such things, seating covers with red sashes may look out of place and the whole visual effect can be ruined.

So, whether you are organising a nuptial celebration, corporate party, birthday, special ball or anything else and want to make use of chair cover hire, you should ensure you take the other decorations into account. This could make the difference between succeeding or failing when it comes to creating the perfect space.

The great news is, by coming here to Special Occasions Covered to get your hands on the items, you can benefit from a vast array of colours. We make it our mission to ensure that whether you need chair covers in Birmingham, chair covers in Manchester or anywhere else, you get exactly what you are after.

From dark sashes, such as black, chocolate brown and burgundy to lighter offerings, like our baby pink, ivory and silver options, we should have the perfect versions for your event and at low prices too.

Chair Cover Ideas for Family Occasions

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

When celebrating a special occasion, it can be a worry if the dining chairs at your chosen venue look a little less than impressive. Fortunately, this is where decorative chair covers can help. Hire covers are available in a wide range of fabrics and colours, and so can be adapted to suit all types of occasions.

Birthdays

Many people prefer to have smaller gatherings in their homes rather than use large commercial venues when celebrating birthdays. A very fun way of decorating a seating arrangement at a residential birthday meal is to adorn each individual chair in a different hire cover and ‘wrap’ it with a uniquely coloured bow. This can create an appearance similar to a collection of beautifully wrapped birthday presents and so create a lovely atmosphere.

Weddings

Unsurprisingly, many brides often choose to have white hire covers adorning the seats at their wedding reception. One great way to give the décor a more personal touch is to add some wonderful, coloured sashes to match either the bridal bouquet or the flower arrangements which decorate the wedding tables.

Christenings

Another popular family occasion where white hire covers might be a very good option is christenings. White covers with sashes or large bows of a favourite colour can be very fitting as they can imitate the colours of the baby’s christening gown.

Whether you need birthday chair covers in Manchester or wedding chair covers in Liverpool, make Special Occasions Covered your first port of call.

Planning a home wedding

Saturday, December 25th, 2010

Holding your wedding at your home (or someone else’s, such as your parents’) provides a wonderful setting and gives you that true sense of nostalgia if you were brought up there. However, there is a lot to consider if you choose a home wedding.

One of the first things you should determine is where around the house you plan to hold the wedding ceremony and reception. Will it be outdoors, indoors or in a marquee on the lawn? Importantly, do you have enough space to accommodate all of your guests?

Getting the logistics right on the day is something else to sort out. Where will the ceremony be held? Will there be parking available for guests? Is there a contingency plan in the event of bad weather? Do you have appropriate lighting when it gets dark?

From there, it’s a case of hiring photographers, music, caterers, tables, chairs, plates, glasses, silverware etc. Whereas most reception venues will provide a lot of this, home weddings mean you have to organise it yourself.

It may seem like it’s an endless to-do list, which is why it’s important to plan ahead as early as possible. And then there is one aspect you mahe forgotten about: wedding chair covers.

Thankfully at Special Occasions Covered, we can take the pain out of one aspect of the planning process. Our stunning range of chair covers will instantly transform your reception into an elegant setting. Designed to fit on most chairs, the chair covers come with a range of beautifully coloured organza sashes that you can choose from, to match your colour scheme. At least you can then cross one thing off your list.

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. If you need to learn more about chair cover hire, we can help.

Add a touch of class to any venue with chair covers

Friday, September 24th, 2010

When choosing a venue for any event, you’ll always be looking for the best you can possibly afford. Value for money is obviously an important consideration, but the added value of luxurious extras can be what closes the deal. Sometimes one venue can be so stunningly beautiful that it’s worth paying extra for the event of a lifetime, but there’s always a limit.

In the end, most venues are relatively standard and it is personal touches that add class and individuality to your event. Chair covers are a perfect, affordable way to turn a standard venue into the luxurious location you desire. They can turn generic conference room chairs into romantic, intimate seating in a minute. At Special Occasions Covered our chair covers are embellished with organza silk for understated luxury and we are happy to accommodate last minute orders whenever possible.

The choice of colours allows you to complement the theme for events like a high school prom, matching the flower arrangements for your wedding and proudly displaying the university’s colours at a graduation ceremony. College balls, often held in large, impersonal conference venues, can now reflect the romance, extravagance and high-class living embodied in the students’ choice of dinner suits and ball gowns for the occasion.

When managing your budget, it pays to factor the added value of chair cover hire into the equation at an early stage, allowing you to consider affordable venues which may otherwise seem drab and uninspiring – making them particularly cost effective.

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.

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.

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.

Make Your Party Stand Out With Chair Covers

Monday, 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.
