Christmas Spirit at SCP!


After another rather suave 007 themed party at the end of last week, we are now fully in the swing of Christmas Party season!  They are coming in thick and fast and we have a wide variety of themes going out all over the UK.  Popular themes for the next couple of weeks seem to be; Hollywood, Las Vegas and 007 – people just can’t get enough of all the lovely classics!!  We’ve got Winter Wonderland (our beautiful new winter backdrops are proving very popular!) and Circus installations over the festive period too…venues often like to theme out their event space for the whole month and sell a range of dates for themed Christmas Parties – splendid! The build team are in full flow, creating new, bespoke props and refurbing older ones! Regular cups of tea are in order to keep their spirits up…brrr! its cold in the warehouse!
In the next week we have a fantastic Bollywood themed event going on down in Nottingham! Think lavish draping, funky lighting and gorgeous linens (with one or two elephants thrown in the mix!).   Watch this space for updates and photos on this one!  We’ve also got more James Bond props out for a few different events next week; this has been a popular choice all year and doesn’t seem to be dying down at all – well, it’s one of our favourites so we’re not complaining!

We're also taking lots of lovely enquiries for the beginning of next year...Top Tip...Willy Wonka looks to be on form again as does the Manhattan Nights theme!

Ice Cool and Hot Sophistication!


WOW! How’s this for a rundown of latest events?!!
Last week was super busy, and all rather last minute…we’ve had more James Bond Bonanza’s, swanky Hollywood launches and beautiful Winter Wonderland themed dinners.  We’ve spent lots of time on the M1 heading South to cater for events in the Central London area and further East in Maidstone and many a van has been filled to the brim!

The first winter event of the year was an absolute stunner!  A wash of ice blue lighting around all the walls, nooks and crannies created mood, ambience and a wintery atmosphere.  Our ‘Frosted Dome’ Table Centre Pieces work so well for this theme, allowing their colour change technology to be used in varying shades of blue, purple and white, adding depth to the theme.  Our brand new Winter Backdrops are simple yet striking and are a real eye catching feature for any stage or photo area.  We’ve a fair few Winter themed events coming up over the festive season so keep an eye out for photos and updates on the run up to Christmas.
James Bond wise, we’ve been here, there and everywhere with our Silhouette Panels, Backdrops and Look-a-Likes, and have participated in many a 007 themed event, party and ‘Skyfall’ premier.  By doing this, our viewing of the actual film was extremely delayed and it wasn’t until 2 weeks after it had been released did we have a gap in the schedule! But, my, my, my…it was worth the wait! What a fantastic film – watch this space…we’re on a roll with new ideas, and fresh enthusiasm for this quintessentially British phenomenon!

Keep an eye out on facebook and twitter for new ideas or give us a call to chat about your next event!
