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.”

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.

Getting to Grips with Your Venue

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

Choosing the perfect wedding venue can be a trail for some, but a joy for others. There are few things better in life than being led around a stunning stately home – champagne in hand – whilst venue representatives fuss over your every whim and vie for your custom – but choosing the right venue is about more than wedding chair covers and dance floors. Here’s a little advice we’ve garnered over the years on venue choices.

Theme
Depending on the theme of your wedding, a certain venue could already stand as ideal. For example, a Hawaiian theme wedding held on farmland overlooking the sea could be perfect. It’s great to enter venues with an open mind and really listen to venue agents. Of course they’d love your custom, but many are accomplished events planners with a font of highly intuitive, useful knowledge.

Capacity
Entering into serious discussion about a venue means you need a focussed, reliable idea of how many guests can be expected. Some venues can offer highly customisable services such as optional room dividers.

Decor
Whether you need wedding chair covers in Birmingham or chair cover hire in Manchester, you need a complete idea of decor before making any colour decisions. That said, lots of our clients find it easiest to choose a colour theme that already matches the venue carpet etc. and then to commission chair cover hire and plan the rest of the room. This can help keep costs down, and the open bar budget up!
