Hi everyone !
Welcome to my blog which means that you know my name is Leona and furthermore you know the products and services I provide.
Well that's enough of the formalities.
I asked a friend of mine"what's a blog ?"
She told me a blog is an informal diary with random thoughts and ideas both written and in photographic form, in this case linked to Posh Chair Covers and Bows.
Seem's straightforward enough.
I then looked at other blog's and decided i didn't want to fall into the trap as others have of the blog solely becoming a platform for self promotion.
I noticed that sometimes people take themselves far too seriously !
I did have a few reservations about the blog, such as putting our new ideas up for others to copy, but everything comes with a downside and as someone once said "copied but never surpassed".
Come on people have a bit originality ( you know who you are).
I was also thinking of doing a feature every now and again of specialist suppliers that we work closely with to open the subject matter up a bit.
Hopefully as we progress it will be informative and heaven forbid a bit of fun !
So without further ado...................

The Story Of The Wish Tree @ Wynyard Hall
A wonderful Dutch custom that can be substituted for the guest book is to create a wedding "wish tree." At the reception a beautiful tree branch is placed next to the bride and groom's table, and paper leaves attached to pieces of colorful ribbon are placed at each guest's place setting. Guests write their special wish for the happy couple on their leaves, which the bride and groom can then read and hang on the tree.
We have combined the wish tree with the good old British Post Box.

Mood Lighting @ Wynyard Hall
We had a Wedding @ Wynyard this weekend and thought it might be an opportunity to try out some mood lighting in the ballroom.
We thought long and hard about this as The Ballroom is such an elegant room in it's own right so thought probably less is more.
The brides colour was purple so went with the purple mood lighting however the light can be any colour you like dependant on your colour scheme.
The bride hadn't booked the mood lighting our intention was only to do a photo shoot then take the lighting out.
We asked for peoples opinion on the lighting and we seemed to get the big thumbs up so decided to ask the bride if she wanted the mood lighting left in which after seeing the photographs she also gave the big thumbs up.
We are able to offer this service to any current and future brides.

Where Did August Go ?
Like most in the Wedding industry August has been super busy and we are just starting to get back to normality !
Chair covers and sashes are a great way to dress a venue to it's max and we are constantly looking for new ideas and a new direction and have a couple of new products that we feel adds a bit of freshness to the industry which we will roll out at the next Wedding Fayres.
