Is your Wedding a Little Bit Different?

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

The wedding industry used to be about keeping up with the Jones’. But we absolutely love the modern take on bespoke weddings, i.e. do what makes you happy! Online journals like OffbeatBride.com, JunkShopBride.com and FunkyWeddingVenues.com are great resources for folks who want a little less tradition and a little more personality.

The Gothic Wedding

Perhaps the first offbeat wedding style that springs to mind is the gothic wedding. A gothic-inspired wedding isn’t all about darkness and gloom. We’ve sent our great chair covers to London, Leeds, Liverpool and all over the U.K catering for just this kind of unique wedding theme. Popular chair covers and themes include burgundy sash on black cover, black sash on gold cover, and lime green sash on black cover.

The Farm Wedding

Perhaps it’s because summer is on the way, but we’re completely won over by countryside weddings in 2012. Rather than being very formal affairs at a stately home or castle, farm weddings are more like country fairs with plenty of grog, folk music and a wonderfully laid back atmosphere. Most marrying couples have to visit the registry office beforehand to get the legal bit out of the way, but the after party in the haze of the evening sun is exceptional. If your wedding is a little on the unusual side, we’re confident our chair cover hire to Manchester, London and the whole of the U.K will be perfectly in tune with your gloriously different day!

Chair Covers Win a Place in Top Wedding Decor Favourites

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

According to cultural journal, The Huffington Post, DIY weddings are on the rise in the U.K. Although we deal with some truly magnificent wedding planners, many of our clients are happy (and slightly stressed!) couples organising the Big Day by themselves. The key to the perfect DIY budget-friendly wedding seems to lie in picking and choosing which elements of the day are important personally. For example, lots of brides weren’t too fussed about car hire, professional hair and make-up or providing a sit-down meal for guests.

In an industry that generates billions for the U.K economy annually, looks are obviously important. In a 2011 poll, most frugal couples said they’d rather have a chic and tasteful – cost effective – wedding  than a hideous Kardashian-esque circus of tat (with a £6.4million price tag!) Top must-haves for the modern low budget wedding included dining table and chair covers, great music, a select group of friends and family, delicious food and – of course – a stunning wedding dress. More weddings seem to be heading down the budget DIY route, and we’re happily on board helping busy brides and grooms choose the best possible products for their special day.

We offer chair cover hire in London and around the U.K, supplying wedding chair covers to small wedding parties, all-day events and unusual celebrations. If you’re after chair covers in Birmingham or anywhere else in the U.K, get in touch today for a quick quote and some friendly product advice.

Choosing Sashes for Your Wedding Chair Covers

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

If you’re looking to hire chair covers to provide that perfect finishing touch for the seats at your wedding venue, you’re doing the right thing! In too many otherwise excellent venues, the chairs look dated or scruffy. Or they may not complement the colour scheme you have chosen for your day.

The solution is to hire elegant new covers for the chairs, transforming the look of the room. If you go for simple white covers, chair sashes can add wonderful elegance and colour.

You could choose something that goes with the shade of your bridesmaids’ dresses, or a particular flower from your bridal bouquet. Alternatively, consider having two or even three shades together, like orange and yellow, chocolate and cream or pastel green, pink and yellow.

Or how about being all-white on the day, with elegant sashes and chair covers in the same shade? You could even have two sashes per chair if you wanted.
There are also lots of ways of fixing sashes around your wedding chairs, from butterfly bows to more complex knots like the obi or an asymmetric tie.

At Special Occasions Covered, we’re a leading nationwide company hiring out covers for seats and organza sashes for a range of special occasions, in a rainbow of different colours.

Don’t leave anything to chance, whether you’re after chair covers in Leeds or need to hire wedding chair covers in Birmingham. Visit our website and calculate your quote today.

How to Choose a Chair Covers Hire Company

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Chair covers can make all the difference to the way your wedding venue looks for your special day. So it’s vital that you get your supplier right.

And it’s equally important that you do get a supplier, and don’t try and do everything yourself, since you’re just not going to have time.

When you are given a quote, look to see what that includes, and whether there are hidden costs, like VAT, labour, travel and the like. Make sure you get cover for the whole day and evening, not just the ceremony and meal.

You also need to make sure that your own area is covered. So that, for example, if wedding chair covers in Birmingham are what you need, the company can provide chair cover hire in Birmingham.

See if your potential supplier has any pictures of a wedding at your venue, and see if they have any customer feedback, which will give you some indication of how the company is run.

At Special Occasions Covered, we use a great courier firm, and so provide a genuinely nationwide service, all across the UK. And while we don’t offer a fitting service, most venues will happily fit our chair covers for you. (This also keeps our costs low.)

We deliver up to two days before your event, and re-collect the next working day after it.

Hiring the Perfect Wedding Chair Covers

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

When it comes to planning your special day, of course you want everything to be perfect, right down to the last detail. And, once you start the organisation, you start to realise just how much is involved!

Equally, you want to put your own stamp on the venue and make the place your own for your special celebration. Wedding chair covers are one clever way of doing just that.

While table linen should be included within your catering package, chair covers aren’t always part of the deal, yet they can have a surprisingly big impact on the overall look and feel of your big day.

With tucks and bows in shimmery satin and gossamer tulle, wedding chair covers can change the look of a chair into a stylish addition to your wedding décor. Given the numbers of chairs required for any wedding, exquisitely decorated chairs can transform an otherwise standard-looking room into an elegant setting.

At Special Occasions Covered, we are professional providers of chair covers, and can supply sashes which co-ordinate perfectly with the rest of your wedding colour scheme, available in nearly 30 different shades.

Our totally crease-free covers are available in white, ivory and black and fit almost any kind of seating found in most hotels and similar venues.

We are truly nationwide so, whether you need chair covers in Liverpool or chair cover hire in London, make us your first port of call. Get an online quote and learn more today.

Make Your Wedding Day Your Own

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

UK weddings are more often than not regarded as traditional affairs, typically consisting of a church ceremony whereby the bride and groom are surrounded by their closest friends and family. This then tends to be followed by a trip down to a local venue for dancing, food and speeches.

Whilst there isn’t much creative licence given to the to-be-married couple concerning the decoration of the church, the after-wedding venue is a great opportunity for the celebrating couple to make their wedding day stand out and really make it their own.

From bespoke balloon banners to versatile wedding chair covers, this is where the finer details really come to the fore. It is often the smaller decorations which turn a tired-looking old venue into an attractive location perfect for holding a wedding party.

At Special Occasions Covered, we specialise in the finer details. We realise that all-too often the ideal venue is reconsidered due to worn-out furniture, and when you intend to have potentially in excess of a hundred guests, you don’t want them sitting on shabby-looking dining chairs.

We can provide ivory and white chair covers in Leeds, Birmingham and a host of other cities; perfect for turning those mismatched venue chairs into beautiful seats begging to be sat on by your guests.

Our covers fit 99% of chairs, with the option to hire out a free organza sash with each cover. There are 27 colours to choose from, which allows the excited bride and groom to exercise as much creative licence as they want to create the perfect colour scheme.

We can provide wedding chairs covers in Manchester, London, Liverpool, and other big UK cities; so you can rest assured that wherever you are, you can make the most of our expertise.

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!

Simple Decor and the Successful Event

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

At almost any event, comfortable seating is a prerequisite. Our wedding chair covers and event seating covers are designed to fit snugly over a variety of different chair styles that may not quite be up to scratch in terms of colour or fabric.

At all day events like weddings there can be a rather a lot of waiting around. Making sure all your guests are comfortably supported and feeling in top shape for the celebration is easy if you’ve got great seating.

Lots of venues can supply cushioned chairs that make perfect vessels for our custom chair covers; however, don’t expect the chairs in their naked form to be perfectly suited to your colour scheme. Events suites usually try to adopt a neutral or easily customisable colour scheme (for example, navy and cream) that can be used for their own events and easily converted for guest event colour schemes.

It’s often the simplest things in life that can make all the difference. Our chair covers can significantly alter the colour and tone of a room, covering up little nuisances like navy and red dotted chairs (an absolute no against your peach and silver wedding theme!) with whatever colour combination chair cover/organza sash you feel best reflects your colour theme.

Whether you’re looking for dining chair covers in London or wedding chair covers in Liverpool, our extensive product range, top quality production and first rate customer service will have all those guests sitting on beautifully tailored seats in no time!
