Set yourself a time limit if going down the cancellations route to make sure there’s time to pull together a plan B.

Finalise the Guest List and RSVPs

If you’re organising a last minute event, prepare to be turned down. It’s okay to press the importance of quick RSVP responses.

Prioritise the Details

The cake, dress, dinner, music, venue or car – what’s most important to your day? Our chair cover hire London to Birmingham to Glasgow is a great last minute option to stylise a last minute venue!

All About You

Never mind wedding favours for a hundred guests, a last minute celebration should be all about low-stress, personal merriment for you and your intended. Focus on a few key elements – the dress, food, flowers, photos, venue, chair covers in Birmingham, etc – and don’t stress about the little things!

Saving money with great value wedding chair covers

Friday, June 1st, 2012

If you’re planning your wedding, finances may be foremost on your mind. After all, these events don’t come cheap. It might only be by keeping a tight rein on your spending that you’re able to afford your nuptial celebrations.

Luckily, there are plenty of great offers out there when you’re looking for wedding chair covers and so on.

Underestimating the cost of major events

According to research conducted by HSBC, many consumers in the UK underestimate the costs associated with life’s big events, including weddings. It found that on average, these special occasions come to a combined total of more than £300,000. However, Brits estimate they will come to just over £178,000.

It found that people miscalculate the cost of getting married by an average of £12,000. While the typical amount of money spent on weddings is now over £20,000, most people only save around £8,000, HSBC noted.

Financial planning is important

Commenting on this issue, head of savings at HSBC Bruno Genovese said: “Life’s big events can require a substantial financial outlay and many of those who are yet to go through them are vastly underestimating the costs involved, particularly in light of the hikes to university fees and high inflation.

“Unless people are fully aware of the budgets that are needed and start saving and planning their finances early, some may have to delay these milestones.”

We’re here to help

Thankfully, as long as you’re savvy, there are plenty of ways in which you can save money on your Big Day. For example, when you’re on the lookout for chair covers in London and elsewhere, you can come here to us at Special Occasions Covered.

We know that money can be tight and that’s why we go out of our way to offer superb value for money. Our covers only cost £1.49 and they come complete with free organza sashes.

Spruce Up Your Venue with Dining Chair Covers

Friday, May 18th, 2012

If you have been tasked with finding the ideal venue to host an event, such as a friend or relative’s birthday, wedding reception or anniversary party, you will undoubtedly have a criterion in mind in terms of the size and decor of the building.

Depending on your requirements, you may need space for a DJ, buffet, dancing area, bar, formal dining tables, and various decorations. You will also need to ensure that the type of building chosen and its overall condition is well-suited to the event.

However, many of the celebration venues you find suitable may unfortunately include dining sets which appear outdated, and generally don’t suit the decor you have planned for the event. If you have found your ideal venue and are all set to book it for your event, this can be disheartening to say the least.

Here at Special Occasions Covered, we can help you to spruce up your venue and turn it into the beautiful space you’ve been looking for. Don’t be deterred by mismatched, old or worn dining chairs, and simply use elegant chair covers to match your dining chairs and create a fantastic presentation for your event.

If you’re looking for wedding chair covers for a Leeds venue, or birthday chair covers for an event in London, our black, white and ivory chair covers and assorted sashes could be the perfect finish touch to your decor.

We can provide high-quality chair covers in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, London and all across England. So, whether it’s a wedding, birthday or any other special occasion, we’ve got it covered.

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

We offer the best wedding chair covers London has to offer and now is the perfect time to invest in some of the best chair coverings that could make your wedding day complete. Many people don’t realise just how much time and effort planning a wedding actually entails, from the decorations that shall adorn the marital area to the reception afterwards, creating something that truly all hangs together is really a feat of planning. One of the last things that you want to be worrying about however is the design on the chairs, particularly if you have a large number of guests.

5 Tips for Planning a Small Event

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012

Chair cover hire across the U.K has taught us many things, notably that there is no event too big or too small to be planned to perfection. Here are 5 tips from our chair cover hire Leeds, London and Birmingham specialists.

1.    Don’t leave it until the last minute. The novice organising a small get-together might think “It’s only twelve people for a lunch event – how hard can it be?” Small events can fall apart quite spectacularly, so put the groundwork in and get everything booked as soon as possible.

2.    The details are perhaps even more important at a small event. Many of our chair covers in London go to the likes of small but important business lunches, elegant birthday dinners etc. You can’t put too much thought into the little things.

3.    Ambiance is crucial. Don’t rely blindly on the venue to meet your standards of lighting, food, music or entertainment. Using semi-private events rooms or mezzanines of restaurants can be a great way to access elegant ambiance that could be lacking if it’s just you and your guests in an isolated events suite.

4.    Be clear on the invites as to the formality of the event, e.g. business casual, glad rags, evening formal etc. It’s harder to tell with events that aren’t straightforward like weddings or award ceremonies.

5.    Plan a little entertainment – table games etc – so people don’t have to amuse themselves the whole time. Something like a live musical performance can work beautifully.

Sunday, April 15th, 2012

Those who decided not to bank on snow for a winter 2011 wedding, instead opting to postpone their nuptials until summer 2012, are probably pretty happy with themselves right now! The winter was more murky than magical, but summer 2012 is set to be a glorious season of bright weddings and long, long summer days in the U.K!

Our chair covers are designed to give customers the greatest number of options in terms of tone and colour. And where is colour more important than at a bright, bold, glorious summer wedding? We currently supply chair cover hire from Liverpool to London, St Ives to the Isle of Skye, so we see our fair share of great wedding ideas!

You Cannot Plan too Far Ahead, but Just in Case

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

With the best will in the world, sometimes it’s just your fate to be that brilliantly reliable person who can pull a great event out of a hat, on a budget and in the nick of time! We’ve supplied chair cover hire from London to the Scottish Highlands, and for loads of different folks – Alton Towers to the British Army!

In simple terms, we’ve had chair covers for London clients order a year before an event as well as others making frantic phone calls three days before! Here are a couple of organisational tricks we’ve picked up along the way!

•    The phonebook will be your absolute best friend. Finding a venue can be a nightmare, but it can pay off to spend a few hours quickly ringing around venues within a certain mile radius to enquire about cancellations etc. Most of these calls will be fruitless so be concise and don’t waste time. The same can be said of florists etc – cancellations are your best bet for getting top quality on a budget.

•    Think about the basics when it comes to decoration. If you’re lucky your venue will provide some basic lighting, decorations or flowers. But if you need extra help, keep it simple and chic. This is where things like our chair covers and next day party supplies websites come in handy! They’re not all paper hats and crackers!

The Art of Good Event Decorations

Wednesday, March 14th, 2012

There are a lot of things to consider when planning a party, no less the decorations. Balloons, banners and backdrops – all important – just don’t forget to tie them all together by choosing a perfectly suited colour scheme! And if you’re looking to add an elegant edge to your event then look no further, as we can provide it with our highly regarded chair cover hire.

Right now we’re offering free organza sashes with every order that you place, helping you to create the ambiance you desire for the day. Consistency should underpin your approach when making decisions on décor, and with our offer, you’ll be able to choose a style in keeping with your other decorative decisions, helping to bring the whole space together.

Whether you want chair cover hire in Manchester or chair cover hire in Liverpool, we won’t let local rivalry get in the way of our genuinely national service. You can make the most of our complementary sash offer no matter where in the UK you’re looking to host an event.

Our range of colours of sashes will ensure unity whatever look you are going for, and we have the experience to ensure that whatever your event’s theme, we can help recommend a product that will create aesthetic unity across your venue. The passion and knowledge that we have gained from years of supplying events of all types means that, whatever your chosen colours, we’ll be on hand to help you make that final decision.

A Great Look From the Word Go

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

We’re often told that first impressions are vital; that they can influence the way we view a person or place. When planning your big event you’ll want to ensure that your guests are impressed right from the moment they arrive. Here are a few suggestions:

Arrival Drinks

Whether it’s a wedding reception, birthday party, or any other celebration, it is important to have something to give to your guests on their arrival, especially if they’ll be handing you a gift! Champagne is always a treat, but if that is a little too indulgent for the occasion, a glass of more affordable sparkling wine or a good fruit punch will help get revellers in the mood.

Decorations

Appearances are vital for creating a fantastic first impression so don’t let yourself or your party down!  We can help you achieve your desired look for the day with our range of dining chair covers. Whether you’re looking for chair cover hire in Leeds, or chair covers in Birmingham, you can get it. Your guests will be bowled over by the finesse that our chair covers bring to any space, adding a touch of class before anyone has even raised a glass!

Canapés

Once your guests are settled, why not offer them with a little appetiser? Whether adventurous or traditional, from olives wrapped in vine leaves to mini sausage rolls, anything bite-size will be sure to make your guests feel welcome. Just remember not to overload your guests too much if there’s a meal to follow!

Creating the perfect setting for your wedding

Friday, February 24th, 2012

Weddings. These events can be the most important of people’s lives and so if you are planning yours, you no doubt want to make sure it’s special. With this in mind, it really pays off to focus on every single detail of your big day. It’s only by paying attention to all aspects of your nuptials that you will be able to create the perfect setting.

Of course, there are certain priorities that would never slip your mind, such as choosing stunning outfits and hiring a suitable venue. But then, after these major considerations have been dealt with, there are plenty of smaller points you must take into account.

For example, to help create that magical, romantic atmosphere you no doubt want, it can be a good idea to arrange pretty wedding chair covers and gorgeous coloured sashes to go over them. These simple and elegant creations can help to turn regular seating into a luxurious prop for your celebrations.

Then there are issues such as your floral table decorations to consider. You might want to have a central bouquet on each table at your reception and, to really wow your guests, you can tie the colour theme of these beauties in with your chair covers in Birmingham or wherever your wedding will be staged.

Another extra touch that can boost your special day is wedding favours. Placing these small and thoughtful offerings on table settings can help to bring a smile to guests’ faces.

The good news is, as long as you leave enough time to organise such details, you should be able to achieve your aims without difficulty. For example, it’s easier than ever before to book chair covers in Leeds and elsewhere from us here at Special Occasions Covered.
