New Year, New Themes!

A new year and a whole host of new themes are due to be added to our website.  We have props, theming and room dressing for many more themes than are currently listed on our website due to bespoke builds, one-off events and quirky client needs.  SO, we are starting 2014 as we mean to go on and shouting about our BRAND NEW THEMES!

We’ve got fabulous Bollywood room dressing, traditional seaside props and Brazilian Carnival theming; American Diner furniture, Jungle Animals and dare I say it, even more Santas Grotto and Winter Wonderland props all waiting to attend events this coming year.  Keep your eyes peeled for updates, pictures and information on these brilliant themes (and others) over the coming few weeks.

In the meantime, we’re off to attend a busy weekend all over the UK – we’re sending our wonderful Wonka themed props and Hollywood room dressing over to Birmingham, our Masquerade Eye Masks and stunning Masquerade Living Statues up to Glasgow, some Illuminated Table Centres and draping over to Doncaster, our 007 theming is off down to Derby and we’ve a fabulous Las Vegas party going on in the West Midlands too! Phew – best get that kit prepared; it’s like a Christmas weekend all over again!

The Masquerade Ball stole the show....

In the last week of December 2013 and before we had our well-deserved rest over Christmas, we had a great range of events all over the country.  It’s fantastic and mixes things up a bit when we have lots of different themes going out.  It means we get a good stock of photos to show you too!

A fabulous Masquerade Ball Christmas Party took place in Sheffield and our room dressing, table centres and new Giant Eye Masks were set to impress.  Our Black & Gold Draped Entrance prop created the intrigue necessary for this theme, closing off the main dining room from guests until their big reveal.  Our Masquerade Living Statue and Masquerade Stilt Walkers welcomed and entertained guests whilst they sipped their arrival drinks. In the main room, our unique feather and mask Illuminated Table Centre Pieces, room lighting and draped backdrop created the look the client was going for. Our Giant Eye Masks certainly were the star of the show!

We also took a whole load of Chocolate Factory props down to Warwick in December – I mean, the van was bursting full of goodies!! We acquired some new props for this theme recently which meant that they could help in making this event a success.  Our new Giant Toadstool Seating went down a treat in amongst our grass cubes. 

Hollywood Glamour was a popular theme in December 2013 – we’ve got some great new Film Reel Table Centres which have been a favourite with our clients.  Our Hollywood theme is an all year round theme of choice with awards ceremonies, Christmas parties and conferences.

Our 007 theme is always a popular one too – we did a jam packed 007 themed Christmas party in Reading complete with 007 themed props, room dressing, lighting and entertainers.  Our gorgeous girls donned their Black & Pink Feathers and were on hand to meet and greet the party goers, whilst our spoof paparazzi snapped away as they strolled up the red carpet.

A great run of events – our guys we’re after some long sleeps come December 23^rd.

Themed events in 2013

It’s been an age since we updated you on our goings on but we’ve been so busy with December events followed by (I’m sure you’ll all agree) a well-deserved break over Christmas and New Year. We’re back in the swing of things now though and thought we’d dazzle you with the news of latest themed event happenings!  So, let me pick up where we left off, back in Mid-December…..

Amongst all the 007 themed events and the Hollywood Awards ceremonies, we had a few more unusual themes going on.  Down in Slough we packed in some mega Bollywood room dressing transforming a plain white venue into something unrecognisable.  All about vibrant colours, interesting fabrics and immense music and dancing, this theme is sure to bring a smile to anyone.  This particular event saw us use alternate pink and purple linen, ceiling hung drapes and fairy lights, authentic Moroccan table centre pieces and standalone Bollywood themed props.

Straight from Bollywood, we made our way a little bit further around the M25 to Esher, Surrey where we brought the 1950’s Diner alive! Star Cloth on all four walls and gentle mood lighting neutralised the space in the first instance then Chequered Table Cloths and our funky red chair covers really did make the room feel like an American Diner. Our quirky, edible Diner themed table centre pieces went down a treat too.  The bar area in the venue was pretty dull looking and didn’t really fit in with the American Diner theme that the client wished for, so we produced a bespoke pair of ‘Diner’ bar signs and chequered vinyl to wrap the whole bar back and frontage. Here’s a before and after, mid-build at the event:

Meanwhile – up in Sheffield we installed our FABULOUS, brand spanking new Giant Eye Mask props for a run of Christmas Parties.  We had great fun playing with sequins and glitter and these Masquerade Ball props have proved worth every second of time – they’re so popular we had to make even more than we planned!  

Amongst all of this madness, we also had some super Winter Wonderland theming going on and some rather glamorous 1920’s dressing happening too.  More about this and other December events in the next instalment…keep your eyes peeled!
