Chair Cover Solutions for Your Wedding Reception

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

Although hiring chair covers might not have made it on to your list of priorities when organising your wedding reception, they can be a vital feature when creating an overall good impression at the venue. Why spend hours worrying about which table covers and decorations to use if they are only going to look un-flattered next to unattractive chairs which will not even match your overall theme and colour? Clearly, hire covers need to be higher up on that list of priorities.

Subtle style

There are wedding chair covers available in a wide range of fabrics, colours and designs to suit any theme or decor. One of the most stylish ways to decorate wedding chairs is to select a neutral colour like white, ivory or possibly even black, and then accessorise them with sashes or bows that will match your overall theme. This can provide a nice, subtle touch of colour which will in no way appear garish or overpowering.

Inexpensive elegance

Wedding hire covers can help to make any reception venue look elegant without further denting your already struggling bank balance. Depending on your budget, you can opt for standard, less expensive cover materials like cotton, or go for something more plush such as satin.

So, whether you need indoor chair covers in Birmingham or marquee chair covers in London, get in touch with us here at Special Occasions Covered and let us help make your big day beautiful, charming and unique.

Christmas-themed wedding receptions

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

These days, weddings can be enjoyed all year round, and are not just reserved for the summer months. If you’re thinking of having your wedding in December, then why not make it a Christmas-themed wedding. After all, the build up to Christmas certainly gets everyone in a jolly mood and using a Christmas theme throughout your wedding reception will make it much easier in choosing decorations and matching colours. Here are a few handy tips to help in planning that perfect Christmas-themed wedding reception:

• Adding Christmas crackers on the tables are the perfect festive party favour and will help to get your guests interacting more freely (a lot like alcohol does)

• Place red and green candles throughout the room as this is not only a traditional Christmas decoration, but the candles exude wonderful romantic lighting

• Give your guest’s wedding favours in a small gift box and wrapped in Christmas themed paper.

• Have a Christmas tree at your reception and get your guests to put the wedding gifts under the tree

• Strategically place mistletoe around the reception and share the love with your guests

• Serve traditional Christmas food for your wedding meal such as roast turkey, Brussels sprouts and mince pies

An easy way to transform your wedding reception into a Christmas wonderland is by using dining chair covers with colour-themed organza sashes.

At Special Occasions Covered we have a wonderful choice of wedding chair covers and offer all the traditional Christmas coloured sashes included reds and greens as well as gold and silver.

Elegant wedding receptions for the budget conscious

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

If you’re planning a wedding, then one of the biggest decisions you have to make is where to hold your wedding reception. With so many venues to choose from, it can prove to be rather overwhelming so it’s best to base it on a few key criteria right at the outset.

Budget, number of guests, venue capacity and proximity to the marriage ceremony are just some of the criteria you should use when choosing a venue.

However, whether your wedding reception is held at The Ritz or the local restaurant, there’s no doubt you would want it to be a truly elegant setting.

Having an elegant setting doesn’t mean you need to have the budget of a Royal Wedding. A lot of it comes down to how you decorate the room. One of the most popular decorations is flowers, but can also be one of the most expensive. A cheaper alternative is to pick fresh wild flowers on the morning of the wedding and place them on the tables and around the room. Other cheaper alternatives include using tea candles to provide wonderfully romantic lighting, heart or flower-shaped paper garlands you can make yourself and pieces of tulle tied at the edge of tables or around door knobs.

You can match this look by using chair covers tied with organza sashes that are in the same colour as the tulle. At Special Occasions Covered, our wedding chair covers will instantly transform your venue into completely stylish surroundings without causing a major dent in your budget.

3 simple ways to keep your wedding reception costs down

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Wedding receptions are usually one of the most expensive parts of any wedding. Not only is there the cost of the venue hire, but also catering, decorations, flowers and the cake to budget for. However there are plenty of ways to keep the costs down, but still give your wedding that touch of elegance, without the elegant price tag. Here a just a few suggestions:

• Ambient lighting – Candles exude romance and are an inexpensive option that you can buy in bulk from your local pound shop. Try floating tea candles in a glass bowl as an attractive table centerpiece

• A scattering of petals – wedding flowers can be expensive so why not just go for some flower petals scattered around the table. Depending on your theme you can go for dried flowers or fresh wild flowers from outside

• Keep it simple – the old saying ‘less is more’ is never more apparent then when you’re budget conscious, so a simple vase with a single flower can be just as effective as elaborate flower arrangements. You can even tie a piece of ribbon around the vase to add some colour

If you really want to give your reception a chic and stylish finish, then use wedding chair covers tied with an organza sash. We have a wonderful choice of chair covers at Special Occasions Covered that can fit almost any chair and have over 20 different coloured organza sashes to choose from, meaning you can easily impress your guests without blowing the budget.

Planning your wedding

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Your wedding day is considered one of the most important days of your life. As wonderful as that thought is, it also means a huge amount of planning, with many couples needing at least a year beforehand to organise their wedding.

Setting the date, choosing a church and venue, booking photographers and wedding cars and finalising the invitation list are just some of the many things to sort out before the big day.

However, it’s often the little things that can be most time consuming, such as sorting the right colour scheme for the wedding reception or choosing flowers for the tables.

You want the reception venue to have that certain wow factor. One of the easiest ways to do that is by using chair covers tied with an organza sash. Wedding chair covers instantly transform an ordinary looking room into the ultimate elegant setting.

At Special Occasions Covered, we understand that the little things can make such a difference, which is why our range of chair covers will easily create that perfect look at your wedding reception.

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.

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.

Dress For Your Shape

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

When choosing your perfect wedding dress, it is hard to know what will best suit your body’s shape; the lady in the dress shop will give you advice, but you could be forgiven for wondering whether she is biased about her more expensive range of dresses.

Certain dresses can really extenuate your waist or your bosom, so your choice depends on what look you are trying to achieve. Doing some research first may come in handy along with an idea of the type of dress you prefer. Some people dream of their perfect dress, yet when they go and try it on, they find it is not what they wanted. This may be down to it not sitting right with your body’s shape.

Also, wedding dresses are available with a colour to them.  The basque can be peach – or perhaps pink – and again this would need to be something that will not clash with your skin tone. The colour in the dress would also need to complement your bridesmaids, as well as the rest of the items that will be matching your chosen colour throughout your wedding day.

This would be called your colour scheme, and things such as your wedding chair covers should all match or complement it. To get the best chair cover hire, here at Special Occasions Covered we offer an excellent delivery and fitting service for all our guests. Your wedding stationery may also carry the colour scheme, and some people even have their cake containing the said colour.

Co-ordinating Your Wedding

Monday, January 18th, 2010

From the very start of your special day to the finish, every couple wants everything to go perfectly.  For some, this means that lots of things should be co-ordinated.

Many people who organise their wedding day have a colour scheme in mind, this colour scheme can be carried throughout the whole day. Usually the bridesmaids might wear their dresses in the chosen colour and the flowers and table decoration are also in this colour.

Special Occasions Covered can offer our brilliant services of dressing up your function room to meet the high standards that you require. Most function rooms sport comfortable chairs, but they are rarely in the chosen wedding colour. This is why it is a really good idea to hire some chair covers to give the impression of sophistication and style.

The chair covers can be surrounded with a coloured sash which is tied in a bow at the back; this is also in the all important chosen colour scheme. With the current climate in the state that it is, it is important to remember that many people will be arranging their wedding to a strict budget.

There are quite a few options that you can choose from, you could perhaps choose to just hire chair covers and iron and fit them yourself. You could also just hire them already ironed and then fit them yourself. There is one final option, this is to have one of the dedicated staff from a specialist firm like us to come to your chosen place and fit the wedding chair covers. The final option is the most costly, but, in the rush of wedding preparation, many consumers prefer it.
