Whats Black and White and Red all over ...?
The theme was Las Vegas and believe it or not there were stilt walkers,fire eaters and Las Vegas show girls
( hence the feathers)
The centrepieces were provided by a funky bird aka Karen Whyte from http://www.funkyflowercompany.co.uk/
The bride wanted a dash of red in everything so red feathers and red napkin ties were the order of the day.

The answer is...........
Matfen Hall is the first image.
www.poshchaircoversandbows.co.uk
The latin inscription can be found above the external door leading to The Great Hall.
The chairs were dressed in a deep plum organza for the civil ceremony and later taken by Matfen staff to be placed round the tables in readiness for the Wedding Breakfast.
Wynyard Hall is the second image.
This crest and inscription is above the door leading from The Ballroom toward The Chapel.
We were at Wynyard twice this week the first being in the mirrored room dressing the chairs in a vintage purple.
The resident photographer ( my other half ) decided to go all 'arty' and emphasise the fact that we were in the mirror room by taking a photograph through the mirror.
The second visit was to dress for a Wedding breakfast in the ballroom in a rich claret that totally complimented the biscuit linen.

A Bow Is Just A Bow.........or is it ? Origami On Chair covers with Organza
We dont want to re-invent the wheel but sometimes, well actually more than sometimes brides say " can you do something a little bit different ".
The answer is probably maybe.
The bride had a rose theme going on so we designed a sash to go with the theme.
Is it a bow is it a plane !
No its a fan.
The bride wanted something a bit less than a bow so a fan design was just perfect.
Job done.
Coincidentally both Weddings with the different type of bows were at Durham Castle.

Opposites Attract !
We were asked to dress The Baltic, Riverside Terrace for an evening Wedding Reception.
The Venue - a minimalistic industrial reception room.
www.poshchaircoversandbows.co.uk
The Request - to make it elegant fit for a Wedding in keeping with the room.
Who would of thought it,a contemporary room twinned with vintage lace would work, but it did.
You likey ?

Saturday Was A Day About - Accessories and Centrepieces
Everyone has there own idea on what they would like in the centre of their wedding table and the bride came to us wanting something contemporary and non-floral. We came up with a martini vase underlit with our exclusive LED unit. The photographs were taken in full bright sunlight imagine the effect when the lights came down on the evening.

Adding a simple but effective accessory can give that little extra something to the sash.

Happy New Year !
Yes I know its April but we always regard the start of the financial year as the start of ‘The Wedding Year’.
This is for us when the season starts to pick up momentum and by June we are flat out, ( watch this space for a weekend in the life of Posh Chair Covers and Bows !).
I thought whilst I take a little breather in anticipation of the Wedding season I would re-cap over the last 12 months.
I know stats aren’t everybody’s cup of tea.
I mean after all “Statistics show.. every two minutes another statistic is created ! "
But you may find it entertaining so why don't you make that cup of tea, put your feet up and take 5.
In the past 12 months we 'covered' 49 different venues, visiting one venue in excess of 15 times.
Of all the Weddings we set up, 41 % were Civil Ceremonies.
Our busiest month was August with 25 Weddings.
75% of Brides had White Chair Covers and 25% had Ivory Chair Covers.
The most popular colour by far was Aubergine/Plum with 21% of brides choosing this colour followed by Silver @ 10% and Navy Blue @ 7%.
We do offer a bespoke sevice whereby we can dye sashes 6% of brides
chose this service.
chose this service.
7% of brides chose to have the top table swagged.
Crystal Ball time !!
What do we see as being the en-vogue colour for the next 12 months ?
Cadbury Purple is looking favourite with Burnt Orange being a contender and
watch out for the lace sashes.
watch out for the lace sashes.
We think Bling is big for the months ahead and have an exclusive line in
Diamante Brooches.
We'll see in 12 months time how our predictions hold up so until then.....
