What is this....winter?!!!

I'm guessing most of the UK was lead under false pretences last week with all the beautiful weather. We dug out our sunny's, shorts and sandals and got a little carried away thinking summer was well and truly on its way! So when I pulled back my curtains this morning and saw nothing but white...like a blanket spread over my garden, needless to say I was a little disappointed! My sunglasses have gone back in the drawer, substituted by wellies and thick jumpers and the heating is firmly on.

Last week we were talking about Caribbean Beach Parties and Summer BBQ’s which I’m hoping continued chatter of this, will lift spirits and get creative juices flowing in the minds of event organisers and all those planning a special party. We are talking to many clients at the moment about upcoming summer balls and events, many of which are tempted by our Alice in Wonderland theme; our weird and wonderful props lend themselves nicely to a garden party! Another popular choice for the summer is not to have a particular theme, but to go all out and entertain the crowd with a festival type feel. Fire Performers, Stilt Walkers, Bucking Bronco’s and Giant Games. A nicely lit marquee for dancing later on in the evening works wonders!

Whilst we're talking about Winter and Summer, we may as well touch on Spring and Autumn and all the lovely things that are on trend and up and coming. This month sees the 100th anniversary of the epic sail and sinking of the Titanic, we have the Queen's Jubilee and the Olympic Games. Not forgetting, 2012 is the 50th anniversary of the 007 films and of course, in October the release of the new film - uber exciting! All very British, and an ideal excuse to throw a party!! So, let’s all think hot thoughts and maybe, just maybe the snow will go away and we can have ourselves some summer BBQ's!
