It’s only the greatest show on earth….

Hold on to your hats people…SCP are exhibiting at this years I Do Wedding Show at Ice Sheffield!  The perfect opportunity for you to see us in action and observe some great ideas for your upcoming wedding or event!

Wedding shows can often be tedious and daunting for brides and grooms; here’s a little insider knowledge…exhibitors are just as nervous! Most aren’t there for the hard sell, they simply want to share their wares and ideas with you and if you like them and want to book then that is fantastic! So just come along and have a chat – we don’t bite!  Kids even get in free!  There will be lots of lovely things to look at, think about and talk about for your special day from all over South Yorkshire and we’ll be there ready to talk through any questions or ideas you may have, pass on our experience and spread the inspiration!

We’ll be the ones wearing big huge smiles and we may even have tempting treats on the stand…now if that doesn’t entice you I don’t know what will – everyone loves a sweet treat J !!

So join us on Sunday 2^nd September 2012 at Ice Sheffield (in, well….Sheffield!) and we’ll all have a ball!!

Grease is the Word....

Moving on from the bright lights of New York, and back in time to the 1950’s! We’ve invested in some great new props for our American Diner theme.

The Student Union of Plymouth are reliving their high school days (not that far back in reality!!) with this fun, upbeat theme! We’re making some fantastic giant Strawberry & Chocolate Milkshake Props (great for Willy Wonka too) for their upcoming event which will make a great feature for the stage area and in and around our Diner Dance Floor.  The Grease themed car prop is a perfect photo opportunity and is sure to cause a stir on the night – although, it is minus a backseat – no funny business on this Grease themed road-trip!

Our Halloween theme is getting a great string of outings this year - a rare theme for us as it is only of use to us once annually.  We’ve almost booked up for the weekend around Halloween and are already collecting cobwebs and preparing to raise Grim from the Graveyard.

Two very contrasting themes for October with a whole load of 007 thrown into the mix! 
Blimey….it will be Christmas before we know it!! Speaking of the festive season, we are booking up fast for this too…Wonka and his team of Oompa Loompas are a popular choice along with Classic Hollywood, Las Vegas and Roaring 20’s. 

We’ll keep you posted on upcoming ideas and what we have been up to, all you need to do is keep checking back, follow us on twitter @steelcitypromo and ‘like’ us on facebook – join us there for updates, photos and exciting event news!

Bright Lights & the Big City!

You’ve guessed it – our Manhattan theme is getting a good run of events at the moment and we are creating some magnificent new props!!!

Our brand new Illuminated Skyline Feature Backdrop is going to be a stunner! 48ft Long in its entirety but can be segmented off to create sections of skyline in different areas of a venue.  Illuminated in a slick purple or cool white depending on the nature your event; this backdrop is perfect for Manhattan Nights, New York events or Las Vegas Extravaganzas!

Our very grand 7ft tall Statue of Liberty is looking lovely, due for a couple of outings in the next few weeks and our funky Giant Pink Shoe is also ready to rock; diamantes polished and heel buffed! Fancy posing for a photo in the Shoe? No problem – check out Hannah in this photo….

Illumination and slick props are very Manhattan…but we’re also planning a more New York ‘esque’ event.  You may think well, what’s the difference?  Think, less Sex and the City and more New York Street Scene!  We’re doing wonders with feature backdrops, to incorporate famous landmarks from the city, including Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State and the Chrysler Building. We’ll be working our magic with Black and White Linen and Illuminated White FeatherPlume Table Centres as well as bringing along our fabulous Black and White Stilt Walkers!  Our lovely lamp posts will be making an appearance at this event and we’ll string them with fairy lights to add a bit of glamour.

Of course, what New York / Manhattan Themed Event would be complete without our rather striking Black and White Dance Floor?  Superb for any event actually!!!

Best get cracking, that skyline isn’t going to make itself…..keep an eye out for photos of this fabulous theme!!!

Brand New Theme!!!

Fridays’ Arabian event was a stunner from all angles and seems to be a popular choice this year! 

Entering through our Curtained Entrance and up our Red Carpet, guests were transported into our Arabian hideaway…we used a wash of warm lighting to create ambience; set on oranges, yellows and reds.  We also used incense to really bring the theme to life.  An Arabian treat for all sensory organs!

Our lavish coloured drapes and luxurious cushions and pouffes created a chill-out area for the guests, allowing everyone to kick back and relax or if they wished, dance the night away on our brand spanking new Black and White Dance Floor – a great choice of dance floor for all occasions; very glamorous!

Our stunning authentic candlelit lanterns were the feature on each table and they looked beautiful – a real eye catching centrepiece! They are all completely unique and hand decorated in reds, blues and greens – we love these here at SCP, we’ll have to watch they don’t go walkabout for living room and bedroom décor!

To add a little twist and something a bit different we took our Snake Charmer and Henna Artist to entertain the guests and give them the real Arabian experience.  The ‘baby’ snake kept us all on our toes and petrified one or two of our own staff – hey, we’ll try anything once!!! Check out this photo of Matt with the snake round his neck….hate to see the size of it when it’s fully grown!

New Theme Alert!!!!

Howdy Pard’ners! That’s right, we’ve been down in the Wild West this weekend and my, what a show we put on! From Giant Cactii and our fabulous Saloon Bar to our unique hand-painted and simply stunning backdrop we pulled out all the stops to make sure this surprise birthday party was a one never to forget!

Down in the depths of Watford, we decked out the chosen venue, creating an authentic looking saloon bar hideaway, using many a Whiskey Barrel and Cartwheel! The guests donned their chaps and their cowboy boots and prepared to line dance the night away thoroughly enjoying themselves all the while.

We also created a gorgeous Alice in Wonderland Enchanted Entrance over in Leeds which wowed the guests and left the children speechless! We literally can do anything with themed props – from single prop hire, right the way through to full themed room sets; mad I know!

The workshop and design team have been super busy the last few days, preparing for our next event.  This one is a new theme for us so we’re very excited to get cracking and make the room look beautiful!  Arabian Nights is on the cards, so we have stunning ornate lanterns, huge floor cushions and pouffes and metres and metres of jewel coloured draping all ready for our trip to Cheltenham later this week.  Keep your eyes peeled for pictures and insights into this luxurious theme!

Table Centres and the Caribbean!

Wow! What a weekend – we have been busy bees!  Not only has our fantastic 007 theme been out in force, we done some amazing things with Table Centres and entertained many a guest on our Casino Tables. 

Weymouth was the biggie of the weekend and played host to 57, yes 57 of our stunning illuminated table centres. Set on trestle tables, the client wanted the height of our Martini Glasses and the cool edge of our Frosted Domes – a mix and match it was and they looked great!  Teamed with fancy star cloth, linen and a fantastic live Band, this event really did go with a bang!

Whilst all this was happening on the South Coast, 007 was playing out in Grismby, Halifax, Basingstoke and Dartford! Our Silhouettes and backdrop took pride of place in a beautiful marquee alongside yet more linen, table centres and entertainment. We have a brand new silhouette in the form of Vesper Lynd, and she looks fantastic when illuminated and stood next to Daniel Craig!

On Sunday, we took many of our Caribbean props to a venue in Sheffield – nothing like trying to brighten up this awful weather with the hope of sunshine! El Benny’s Beach Hut impressed, surrounded by Rum Barrels and driftwood and was the perfect photo opportunity for all guests.

Not only all that lot…here’s a picture of our Masquerade Stilt Walkers looking beautiful at an event in Reading last week.  These are a very popular pair, and never fail to impress with their elegance and striking costumes.

So, this week coming is slightly more relaxed – although today we’re off to Surrey to entertain a birthday boy and a big fan of 007! The team are setting off as we speak….good luck guys!

Illuminations!

The event of the week this week was certainly when our magnificent illuminated furniture featured at a 30^th Birthday Party in Sheffield.  The brief from the birthday boy was to supply room dressing and entertainment of a high class to make the venue look cool, slick and fashionable. 

The crew set off with a van full of goodies and looking forward to the day ahead! Our 8ft Tall Light Pillars took pride of place alongside our Star Cloth Backdrop which framed the fantastic band.  Lighting galore, created a cool ambience around the room, and our illuminated Poseur Tables were the perfect place to chill with a cocktail or two.

Later in the evening once the guests had had their evening meal, we opened up the casino tables and we were ready to rock! Always proving a popular entertainment option, the tables didn’t fail to impress and were packed all night!

We have stacks of illuminated furniture perfect for any VIP party, Chill-Out area or cool shindig! Our cube seats and illuminated sofas are a great addition to any event along with fashionable light pillars, poseur tables and even LED Dance floors. They are all colour changeable, so can be set to match in with your colour scheme.  Or if you’re free and easy, have them fading or flashing through all the colours as you party the night away!
