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.

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!

The Devil is in the Event Details

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

Planning any event can be tough – chair covers, colour scheme, seating plan, music, entertainment – the list quite literally goes on! But based on our experience supplying wedding chair covers from Liverpool to London, it’s the details that really set an event off.

The Big Three

•    Seating and table space – Don’t make do with something shoddy. People like to be comfortable, so invest in decent seating, tables and chair cover hire.

•    Lighting – Light can have  one of the most significant effects on the tone of an event. A good venue will typically offer some kind of lighting system or recommend a trusted partner.

•    Music and Entertainment – Keeping guests entertained needn’t be something going on all night long, but a little well-organised show, DJ or band can break up the event nicely and give folks time to eat, drink or rest their chattering heads!

Pulling together an event isn’t rocket science, but it does require an amount of sensible planning, careful organisation and creativity. If you’ve got an event on the cards, start planning as soon as possible, assume there will be hiccups along the way, and don’t forget about the details!

Our chair covers from Manchester to London are rated exceptionally by clients. We believe in top quality and speedy service all over the U.K, so hopefully we’re already doing our bit to make your events planning life a little easier! Get in touch today and see what we could bring to your event.

Put a Spring in Your Step with Bright Chair Covers

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

We don’t just cater to weddings. A huge proportion of our client base is made up of corporate events and various personal celebrations like anniversaries, dances and birthdays. We supply dining chair covers throughout the U.K to meet exceptionally-high expectations across the board. Ours is a very specific sector of industry, which means our clients typically ask for lots of advice and guidance covering everything from chair cover hire in Leeds to the best colours for a gothic wedding. Here are just some of our favourite tips for folks needing our great services through the U.K spring!

Weddings/Parties

Spring weddings and parties are all about bright colours, new life and the brilliance of a new beginning. We love to recommend colours based on the colour scheme of the event. But the best chair cover hire may not necessarily rest strictly with obvious colours. For example, the soft hues of spring blooms can often be set off wonderfully by something like a deep purple or lime green sash. We especially love the idea of mixing and matching sash colours.

Corporate Events

One thing we’ve learned is that corporate events certainly aren’t dull! Spring corporate events are all about the growth and newness of the coming financial year. We frequently send chair covers to London and major North West cites for corporate events. Colours are usually in line with company branding, but we love to recommend bright products like the hunter green sash.

Decorating a Venue for your Christmas Party

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

Organising a Christmas party can be complicated. There are many things to arrange: catering, music, drinks, staff and decorations. Some venues may supply much of this as part of a package, yet not all will. And even if they do, you may want to alter some elements to suit your own preferences. Amongst everything else, getting the decorations right can be one of the most difficult aspects. Too much can be overwhelming, and too little can be plain. Chair covers play a large role in decorating your venue, particularly if there is a meal to be enjoyed. Seating guests at bare chairs can leave them uncomfortable, particularly if the material contrasts with the table decorations.

At Special Occasions Covered, our range of covers and organza sashes offer elegance, colour and comfort. You want people to be impressed when they enter the venue, and fantastic decorations are the way to do that. Attractive seat cover and sash combinations invite people to sit and enjoy themselves so much more than bare chairs.

Our organza sashes are available in 27 gorgeous colours, including gold, silver, white, red, orange, black and various shades of blue, green and purple. For your Christmas celebration, why not alternate green and red sashes along each row of seats? As the two colours most commonly associated with Christmas, this will create a festive scheme which would serve as an excellent complement to wall or table decorations.

We can supply across the UK, so whether you need chair covers in London or chair covers in Leeds get in touch today.

Make Chairs Grab Attention at your Event

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

If you are planning an event, such as a birthday party, wedding reception or celebration, you will first need a venue. Once you have that, it is often easy to think everything else will take care of itself. However, there are many other aspects which need to be arranged. Perhaps, for example, you need to hire a DJ or caterer. Depending on the occasion, these could be very important to its success.

However, the venue’s presentation also counts for a lot. Guests will notice if areas have received no attention, such as unclean floors, walls and tables, and this can ultimately affect their perception of the occasion itself. One factor often overlooked is the quality of the chairs people will be seated in, as they need to be inviting as well as comfortable. Leaving bare wooden or plastic frames uncovered can be unflattering to a well-decorated table, and therefore affect your guests’ enjoyment.

At Special Occasions Covered, we stock a vast range of chair covers and organza sashes which are ideal for a host of events. Whether you are organising a wedding reception, birthday celebration, christening party or any other event, our selection is sure to have the perfect options for your needs. Using our covers can provide your special occasion with an elegant extra touch everyone will love.

Special Occasions Covered provides cover hire across the UK, so whether you need wedding chair covers in London or chair cover hire in Liverpool, get in touch and we will happily discuss your options.

Throw a Baby Shower to Remember

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

Preparing to welcome a new baby into the world is always an exciting time. There are numerous books to read, people to seek advice from and essential products you need to buy to ensure the new arrival will have everything he or she needs.

A tradition becoming increasingly popular in the UK following the prevalence of them in the US is baby showers. Baby showers are thrown by the friends and/or family of a pregnant woman as a way to celebrate the impending arrival of her new baby. This typically involves the exchange of presents and dining at the venue of their choice.

Decorating the venue is where the true fun starts. You may know the gender of the baby and decide to go all-out and decorate in gender-specific colours, or take the neutral route if you don’t know the sex of the baby.

At Special Occasions Covered, we supply all of our ivory, black and white chair covers with a free organza sash in the colour of your choice. So, whether you know the gender of the baby or not, we can provide the baby pink, lemon or periwinkle blue sashes to suit. You may even decide you don’t want to be traditional, and instead use the Mother-to-be’s favourite colour as the sash and incorporate other decorations in this colour, too, for a more consistent colour scheme.

The choices really are endless with our chair covers. Plus, because they’re guaranteed to fit 99% of chairs, you can rest assured that whether you’re looking for chair cover hire in a London restaurant or chair covers in a Liverpool pub, you can count on us.

Celebrate Landmark Birthdays in Style

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

Turning 18, 21, 30 and 50 are just some of the most monumental birthdays in a person’s life.  These age landmarks signify certain degrees of maturity and experience as we develop throughout our lives, and are now more than ever being met with celebrations.

Whether a teenage girl having an 18th birthday party at her favourite club, or a gentleman celebrating turning 50 down at the local pub or restaurant, people of all ages and genders are choosing to turn their birthdays into fully-fledged parties with their nearest and dearest.

Due to the wide span of different ages and genders celebrating such birthdays, there is a great amount of choice when it comes to decorating the community centre, rented-out restaurant or favourite bar or club holding the celebrations.

At Special Occasions Covered, our aim is to provide a service to suit every customer. After deciding which chair covers are ideal for their event (white, black or ivory), clients can choose from a wealth of different organza sash colours to add a little class and individuality to the proceedings.

The young man celebrating his 21st could opt for black covers with silver or navy blue organza sashes to keep the decor as masculine as it is refined, whilst a lady turning 30 may choose more feminine white covers with Cadbury purple or even gold sashes.

Special Occasions Covered offer all our organza sashes free for hire with all chair cover orders. We operate throughout the UK’s major cities, too, so whether you’re looking for chair cover hire in London or chair covers in Liverpool, we can deliver.

Decorating Wedding Venues

Saturday, June 25th, 2011

One of the most important aspects of any wedding is the decoration of the ceremony and reception venues. Naturally, how a venue looks can play a large part in how the big day is enjoyed by all those present.

Magical transformation

One decorative feature which is frequently over-looked is the seating. Chairs in venues such as private function rooms are often more practical than stylish as they need to be able to deal with frequent use. Of course, “practical” is not a look which many brides want to go for on their special day, so wrapping these type of chairs in decorative covers can be a great way to hide their less than attractive aesthetics. In a matter of minutes, a venue full of standard, everyday chairs can be transformed into a place where something magical is about to happen.

Cover hire with Special Occasions Covered

Here at Special Occasions Covered, we have a wide selection of wedding chair covers to help make any venue look perfect. All of our covers are made from high quality polyester and are designed to fit practically any type of chair. Not only can we offer stunning black, white or ivory covers, we also have a wide range of coloured organza sashes available to ensure your seating effortlessly matches the overall colour theme of your big day.

If you’re looking for wedding chair covers in Birmingham, chair cover hire in Leeds, or indeed any other UK location, get in touch with us today.
