4 Reasons to Use Chair Covers to Enhance

Your Table Design


In order to appreciate why chair covers can have such a massive impact

on your wedding design and by natural consequence the impact and first

impression you create you should think of chair covers as clothing for chairs.

And just like a person, the clothes we wear says a lot about who we are. Your

appearance is a major factor in determining how other people perceive you so

let’s examine some ways chair covers can create the right first impression and

why you should use them.

1. Cover unsightly, tired or worn-looking chairs:

I love chair covers and we’ve built a significant part of our business on

hiring them out. I would always recommend using a chair cover if the

chairs in your venue don’t look that good as nobody likes to sit on a chair

with torn fabric, dirty marks or a myriad of other defects.

So think poor condition chairs = bad first impression.

However, poor condition chairs covered with a good quality cover means

at worst no damage done and at best the impression of class, style and

quality, often all three at the same time.

2. Incorporate an accent colour

Like napkins and tablecloths, you can also use chair covers to

highlight an accent colour. The rules are the same only the garment

(tablecloth or chair cover) is different. You can highlight your accent

colour by using a seat tie, bow or sash that is tied round the chair.

3. Soften the look

Chair covers can soften the look of corporate looking spaces. They will

give the wedding a prettier feel if you go for traditional white or ivory or

consider using black for a classy and stylish look.

4. Give a uniformity of style

Chair covers can give your wedding a lovely uniformity of style as long

as they’re all positioned properly before the guests sit down and are of a

good quality standard.

You can never go wrong with the right covers...

4 Reasons Why You Should Invest More

of Your Wedding Budget In Décor


1. Stamp your individuality & personality on your wedding

Don’t be drab and boring or scared to show off a bit. It’s your wedding day

after all. If there’s one day in your life when you can be excused for blowing

your own trumpet, it’s your wedding day. Make your guests sit up and take

notice of you!
 
2. Create a great first impression aka the WOW factor

Make your guests take notice when they enter your wedding venue so that

they immediately know they’re at something special. This will set the tone

for the rest of your wedding. Your guests will thank you for inviting them to

such a special occasion.

3. Transform the space

Your guests may have been at a wedding at your venue before. Some may

even have attended more than one. If the table and room décor is bland

like the previous weddings they’ve been to, there’s every possibility they’ll

think your wedding is bland too….

4. Share the joy of your wedding day

Your friends and family will realise that you truly appreciate them by

taking your wedding to a higher level, design wise. They’ll feel uplifted by

the occasion and be proud that you value your friendship with them

by putting so much thought and effort into entertaining them..

so bride go all the way out and have fun.....

Planning an Engagement Party

The excitement you feel for getting engaged to the person you love cannot be described in words. But it can be shared with your dearest friends and family members. You’ve just got proposed and received a gorgeous engagement ring that you can’t stop looking at! This occasion deserves a proper celebration and you’re not thinking of the perfect party to plan for your loved ones.

 In some cultures and regions, the engagement party is viewed as a part of the process of getting married. In many circles this celebration is considered and experienced as a traditional part of the wedding festivities. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to follow this route in order to prolong your happiness and excitement.

Many couples decide to have a long engagement so that they can plan the perfect wedding. But between the engagement and the wedding date they can still have a lot of fun. The process of planning a wedding starts with the engagement party. This event should bring your families together and this is why the emotions are always very high and the expectations are very big for both you and your parents. In some countries the engagement is seen as the major wedding. A real deal compared to the white wedding…

You can plan it at your own house or make it an outdoor event like most people do in Nigeria..

There are short and long engagements to choose from. The engagement party can be held six months to one year before the wedding day. Back in the old days it was customary for the parents of the bride to plan and host this party. Nevertheless, couples of today choose to organize their own engagement party without involving their folks completely.

 You should not let the annoying element “stress” come between you and your happiness. There is a lot of planning to be done, it’s true. But taking things slowly and one step at a time could be a wiser way to solve things out. You have to deal with the invitations, the location, the food, the music and the other important aspects related to an engagement festivity.

 

Have fun celebrating your engagement

 
What Color To Wear To a Wedding

Many people are wondering what to wear to a wedding. And the question is largely based on what colors are appropriate for an event of this nature. Apart from the Aso –Ebi craz …which saves you from all the worries …Female wedding guests are often preoccupied by this subject. They find it very interesting and are always searching for new info in this sense. It’s true that the trends are constantly changing. And what can be voguish today may be old-fashion tomorrow.
There are many factors that influence the field of wedding fashions. But there are a few ways to narrow down your choices as well. First of all, we should tell you that each type of wedding has its own requirements.
The formality of the event should have a big influence on the type of dress you’re wearing at a wedding. The time of day and the season should also be taken into consideration. The type of color you choose to wear should fit the formality, the venue and the time of the year. The hour of the wedding is also important when selecting the best colors for your wedding attire. For instance, if it’s a morning wedding, you’ll have to consider pastels. If it’s an evening wedding, think dark, intense of metallic.
These options may vary according to the season of the wedding. Technically, any color is appropriate as long as you respect the character of the wedding and a few basic rules. If we are to follow the etiquette for wedding guest dresses and colors, we would see that the bride is the one who gives the best suggestions and the last directives. Her preferences usually dictate the type of attire her bridal party members should buy for their wear. Nevertheless, we should mention that these preferences are influenced by the type of wedding she’s planning. Those who are still in doubt about the best colors to choose should definitely ask the bride or just go with the colour of the day.. helps better . If you are not that close to her or to the groom, ask the bridesmaids or another member of the bridal party. Those who choose to wear a classic type of attire usually go classic.

In this case, blacks, browns, navies and other dark hues are classic choices for men and women. These nuances are always in trend, no matter the year.

All About Wedding Dresses For 2015

We are well used to the tradition of a bride in a long and modest maximum floor-length gown in any wedding. We also find it characteristic and traditional to have a veil covering the bride’s head until that moment when she says ‘I do’ when she can be unveiled to kiss the groom. Things have gone bolder in 2015. I’m talking serious traditional twists.

‘Less is more’ is becoming a popular philosophy. I still find it new and daring that the veil is slowly getting replaced, by less bulky headpieces which in essence cover less face. We see more tiaras, head beading as it was much more popular from the 1890s to the 1910s. Some go as far as donning Edwardian hats with feathers. Vintage is here! Dressing gowns are getting short too. Mmmmhhh  ‘Less is more’ for wedding gowns, talks of low cut neckline dresses. Look out also for short silk 50’s trend mini dresses that can go as short as just above the knee, with low backs and held together by bows.

Another emergent gown trend for the long floor-length gowns is the hold-tight-and-flare pattern where you find that the gown is figure hugging and follows the bride’s figure up to the knees and then flares out wide. In the name of vintage you should also expect to see interesting necklines, pearls or metal materials as well as gold colors.

Vintage has seen to the popularity of more lacy gowns too. Grooms and groomsmen are also seen wearing stylish feathers on the lapels of their coats in harmony with the advent of vintage.Whatever the case might be, this exciting, bold new dressing style has become more and more popular and fast so watch out for it too.

 This year you expect to see bright colors making wedding themes. Brides are keen this season to show off bright colors so look out for deep pink in flowers or dresses, or in floral archways as well as cake highlights or invitation cards. A pink flower means ‘I will never forget you’. Pink is sensational, the universal color of love: the lighter, sweeter side. Look out also for purple in its royal shades. Guest and family need to feel the joy of being part of these wedding events as they get together to see off loved ones in the next step of this journey of life.

Other colors hot choice selections are peach and aqua. These colors stir interest and enliven social interactions in a remarkable and exceptional way. For those going for much cooler feels, we see royal blue, cool reds and in some instances, rich enticing citrus colors, including yellow and orange.

Let your wedding fun begin with your colours and wedding dress!!!.

Ideas On Best Man And Groomsmen

As weird as it may sound, a groom can encounter difficulties in handling the groomsmen subject. This chapter is more controversial than it may appear to be at a first sight and this is why no one can really understand how difficult it is for a groom to pick the best groomsmen and the other personages for the party. But first of all, the groom must select the best man. So, who should it be the best man for the job? After all, this role means a lot of responsibility and important task to solve.
The best man should be your right hand, the man you trust the most. It can be your own brother, your cousin or your best friend. It can even be your brother-in-law! The best man must host the bachelor’s party, hold the rings and sit by your side during the ceremony. This decision may be easier than the following ones. Selecting the best men for the groomsmen’ roles could be a little bit more challenging. This is always a personal choice and that’s why it is so complicated. There are also many cases when the best man can help the groom choose the right candidates for the groomsmen roles.
The choice of groomsmen is not an isolated issue to be solved only by the groom. It would be wise of you to discuss this through with your bride.The bride should be supportive with the groom’s choices and help him select wisely. She must be at peace with the groomsmen her groom picked and also be in good terms with each one of them. There mustn’t be any tension between them. Nevertheless, the best man is the one that the bride must approve for.
You must never forget that your friends are there for you to offer their best support and help you have a great and memorable day. This takes a lot of their time and energy and also money. So, make sure that you show your appreciation properly.
The least you can do is to offer them nice gifts to remember. You can give them picket knifes, beer steins, money clips or other thematic objects. They don’t expect you to buy them something expensive and pompous. They just want you to show your honor and respect in turn. The biggest dilemma for a groom is to pick the best man. A bride seems easier to choose, but the best man can be anyone who helped you out during the last few years.
It can be your best friend from college or a friend who has been there for you during rough times of your life. So, how can you make the best decision? Someone will end up hurt-feelings, anyways.
