The corporate colours were Orange The room looked good once it had been made over We love doing corporate events..as we do like using black chair covers which make we think makes it look much more glam for an evening function 2012-5-2 17:00:25 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#116097 Well cant really say much at the moment but we have some new plans for next year Very excited about it all but still needs tweaking here and there But things are going to change next year and we hope that it will turn out good A proper family business is what Ive always been brought up in with my parents and uncles and cousins running their own businesses that its just natural for our next step Will update with more news later in the year But we are very excited indeedy 2012-4-8 21:52:39 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#116094 Brides and Grooms Are you still looking for a venue for your wedding If you have a free Sunday why not come along and take a look around Headington Hill Hall They are opening up their doors for their first wedding fair There will be a variety of specially selected suppliers available on the day to help with any of your wedding queries From cakes to flowers jewellery to room decorations We will be there to set up a display table to show you how the room can look The hall has plenty of character in each room plus beautifully manicured grounds perfect for outdoor wedding photos For larger weddings or events they can accommodate more guests in a marquee on the lawn.

We had also slowly built up more interest in our nonfloral centrepieces which are getting popular especially the Ostrich Feather Centrepieces and trees Our sister company Green Monkey Events headed up by the wonderful Josie has also been growing Last year we added draping and fairy light curtains to our range which makes the process of hiring out wedding decor even better as you can just source what you need from the one company Less hassle the better we say Just afew Shout Outs fro... 2012-1-5 10:41:58 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#94259 Sorry for being quiet on here Have been very busy with various gorgeous weddings we have helped decorate We were lucky enough to help with a friends wedding this June to create a stunning vintage themed wedding. The bride wore a gorgeous vintage lace wedding dress and we helped tie in the theme with our new Lace Sashes. These are Ivory and were made specially for us. They are very delicate but pretty when combined with the pretty vintage style floral arrangements that were used on the tables There were sweet peas amnesia roses thyme and rosemary all beautifully arranged in mismatched tea cups and jugs Here are some pictures The bride looked amazing as usual..and best of all the sun came out and we had our first outdoor wedding ceremony for the year So far It was just beautiful The wedding venue was The Swan Hotel in Bibury which is just perfect for a english country garden wedding party.Congratulations to Liz and Kev on their special day 2011-6-11 10:30:14 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#94141 Been a very busy month But we had the pleasure of providing our covers for a lovely photoshoot at Witney Lakes Resort. They have just acquired a lovely new pagoda to hold outdoor weddings When we get some sunshine But it is very pretty located by the lake Definately a wonderful place to hold the ceremony when the weather is fine Please take a look at their website www.witneylakes.co.uk if you are interested in viewing the venue for your wedding or special event. Theres not very many places that are permitted to hold an outdoor ceremony in Oxfordshire and this will open up more options to brides and grooms looking for that something extra special for their big day 2011-5-17 15:06:14 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#93260 We had a very enjoyable day at the Millets Farm Wedding Fair last week organised by The Bridal Network team. It was a lovely sunny day and we had about 50 new brides and grooms attending which was very good Met some new brides who were all excited about looking around the stands for the day and also had a wander around the farm itself They do the best fruit bed in their farmshop If you have children it is also a fantastic place to take them for the day As there are farm animals play areas and pick your own fruit www.milletsfarmcentre.com 2011-5-6 09:20:58 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#90156 Had a lovely evening at the Oxford Thames Four Pillars Open Evening. Met some excited brides and grooms looking for their wedding venue and also wedding decorations We met some lovely suppliers like Fiona Baker Photography www.fionabaker.co.uk Cariad Bridal www.cariadbride.co.uk and Balloontastic www.balloontastic.co.uk who were all on hand to meet brides and grooms and chat with them about their big day. Thanks for those to came along...and thanks to Sharon at the Four Pillars for running the evening 2011-3-25 12:13:16 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#89851 Our sister companys Latest Newsletter is out now Contact mailgreenmonkeyevents.com for your FREE COPY today For our monthly news and wedding decor ideas 2011-3-22 09:57:25 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#89259 Okay so finally get the time to sit down and tell you all about the WOBA Awards that we help decorate last week We were so pleased to be asked as it was at a fabulous venue being Eynsham Hall www.eynshamhall.com and also it was the first awards event of its kind for West Oxfordshire. It was organised by the highly talented PR Company Bottle PR. www.bottlepr.co.uk and the brief for us was Black and White So we provided our black chair covers and white satin sashes for the tables and also created tall Ostrich Feather Centrepieces which looked amazing in the room You might think that these feathers would have been too tall and in the way of the proceedings of the ceremony but when you think about it....most of the attendees are sitting down when the awards ceremony is taking place and whilst sat down the feathers fall above the heads so they dont obstruct the view of the front But we also created some low feather centrepieces specially commissioned for the event so there was a good ... 2011-3-15 14:26:30 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#89258 Im sure everyone has seen the pictures heard the news and read the headlines....yet it has only just hit me now how we all carry on our lives going about our daily business when across the other side of the world there is so much tragedy and sadness from the aftermath of the tsunami in Japan. Ive never been to Japan before but I hope to visit one day. It amazes me how the people of Japan are coping so well with what has happened they dont complain they dont fight or loot they take it all with dignity and quietly just get on with it. I feel guilty that whilst we can all sit at our desks in the warmth emailing people tweeting every second flicking through the telly yawning through mundane meetings and facebooking our lives away.... there are thousands of peoples lives that have just gone. Literally washed away. Not to mention the possible nuclear danger they face. Im sure there are people out there who dont really care who moan through their tv dinner that theres nothing else to watc... 2011-3-15 14:26:28 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#86514 Last weekend we decorated a large wedding in Oxford and I have to say the room was transformed We started out with quite a bland room...but by the end of it with our chair covers and all the different hues of pink just made the room look beautiful There were pink roses and gerberas on each table plus our dusky pink chair sashes and it just lifted what would have been a large and very plain room The bride was very pleased I really do think that if a brides budgets can stretch to it hiring chair covers and sashes really do make a difference. They help to brighten up a room and also covers unsightly marks on the venues banqueting chairs. Believe me there were quite afew chairs we covered for this wedding that had large stains all over the seatI think the next post we are going to make a list of what we think are the essentials to making your wedding or event that bit more special. Like a chef that has his essential ingredients list as event stylists we also would like to show you wha... 2011-2-8 17:37:18 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#84868 Whilst we were over at Heythrop Park decorating the wedding we thought we might pop in next door to the recent opening of Crowne Plaza hotel which I think is a sister hotel to the original house. Both owned by Firoka group apparently so we just went inside for a quick coffee and showround with the lovely reservations manager there. Honestly the interior of the hotel looks so stunning in that modern glossy way. It is a total contrast to Heythrop Park the house where one venue is all about traditional period features high ornate ceilings and marble staircases the other modern interiors clean straight lines lots of glass mixed with bold statement carpets and the most amazing crystal chandeliers. Here are some pictures to show you the feel of the inside. I especially love the cluster of lanterns hung high up above. Crowne Plaza Heythrop Park is very well executed designstyling wise. I am sure they will do well for a new venue. They are already busy with showrounds booked in when we ... 2011-1-17 22:41:50 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#84866 January is almost whizzing by...but we had the pleasure of decorating a lovely wedding at Heythrop Park last weekend. The bride chose a lovely dark red colour scheme to go with her dark red roses. We love the ceremony room Full of period features and amazing view over the green. Here are some pics of the room after we dressed the chairs. The weather was not too bad either on the day Better than today far too much drizzly grey sky I cant wait till we get some spring sunshine 2011-1-17 22:31:43 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#83636 HAPPY NEW YEAR Wow We cant believe another year has already flown by and 2011 has now begun I took a moment to think about all the things that happened this past year and am always amazed by the variety of things we managed to cram in Not just weddings but birthday parties anniversaries wedding fayres charity dinners meeting brides organising a handmade fair and not forgetting all the things that happen outside of the office It really has been a busy but rewarding year One person I couldnt have managed without was Josie who has helped with many weddings and functions over the last six months Come rain or shine and even abit of snow and sleet Josie was there to help decorate some fabulous weddings and always looks chirpy even on an early start on cold frosty mornings She has some really great ideas which Im sure we will see more of as the new year begins...so a big thank you to Josie I must also not forget to thank my family and friends for their support and help this year. Without... 2011-1-1 17:56:52 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#82507 December has been a quieter month for us But we still managed to provide some fabulous Ostrich Feather Centrepieces for a function at the Five Star establishment The Westbury Hotel right in the heart of London The hotel was located right by Mayfair and all the designer shops But no time for shopping for us We were busy preparing 7 large centrepieces with huge Black and White feathers These were finished off with some led lights inside the vase which made it look very glam Just perfect for an evening function Our client were very impressed with them Always good to receive positive feedback for the work we do Another big function coming up in the next couple of weeks For a black and red themed do Am looking forward to it already 2010-12-10 21:08:55 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#81245 Here is the poster for the Handmade amp Gorgeous Fair for this Saturday 27th Nov The Oxford Town Hall 2010-11-25 23:06:06 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#81242 Our sister company is organising this years Handmade amp Gorgeous Fair Please visit the website for further detailsHandmade amp Gorgeous Fair Saturday 27th November Oxford Town HallOpen from 11am4pmFREE ENTRYThe time has finally come All those months of planning and now we are only days away from the Handmade amp Gorgeous Fair taking place at the Oxford Town Hall.

A good steady day that went very quickly. We hope to be able to help more brides decorate their rooms for the next year I have a feeling that people might be tightening their belts for next year what with the vat going up and everything costing that little bit more But we feel that chair covers really do complete the look and is also a cost effective way to decorate and glam up a room for a special occasion like a wedding but without splashing out too much. Hope all the other exhibitors at the fair also had a good day Will be booking on to some more fairs next year....details will be updated soon 2010-10-25 13:55:52 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#78065 Isis Chair Covers were honoured to take part in a charity dinner held at The Randolph Hotel in Oxford to raise money for the Oxford Association for the Blind. httpwww.oxeyes.org.uk We like to do our part every year and help with the styling for local charitable events and this year we helped decorated a vast space that is The Ballroom within this five star rated hotel The theme was Black and White So we provided Black Chair Covers tied with White Satin Sashes to add some more colour to the tables There were 180 guests attending including the guest speak one our locals..Mr Colin Dexter A fun night was had by all and we hope it raised a large sum to help for this amazing charity Here is a pic of the room....it looked very glam indeed 2010-10-16 23:39:13 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#77643 This weekend has been busy again..with a wedding fair at The Randolph Hotel but we also did a beautiful indian wedding at Eynsham Hall httpwww.eynshamhall.com. It was a smaller more intimate affair than a previous indian wedding we covered for but still just as striking with vibrant Burnt Orange and Hot Pink colours to theme the day Here are some pics Congratulations to Noor and Ash 2010-10-11 21:38:56 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#77638 Designer Wedding Show Battersea Park LondonWe were lucky enough to win some tickets to see the Designer Wedding Show in London last week We went to see it on the opening day as we thought it might be less busy and plus the fact we were busy with weddings of our own at the weekend so we went along to see what was on offer on the Friday Some of the suppliers were AMAZING. The flowers there were totally extravagant rich with colour and abit OTT but still the floral displays were just stunning. We saw the Catwalk show too Front row seats Which was pretty cool and I thought the little flower girls were the best models down that catwalk There were some gorgeous stationery designers and beautiful designer dresses It was really good to have a look round to see what other suppliers are doing out there and we feel much more inspired coming away with some new fresh ideas ONLY DOWNSIDE was that were not allowed to take pics of the show Not even being around the show so I took afew sneeky ... 2010-10-11 21:18:09 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#77099 Although it didnt plan to be a busy week this week...it has somehow got filled with things to do One of the main things is the Macdonald Randolph Wedding Fair this Sunday which is organised by Perfect Days Weddings. httpwww.perfectdays.info The fair starts from 11am4pm and is FREE ENTRY to everyone Not sure how we are going to display our table this time round as we now offer so many different things to our brides that there isnt enough space to show everything But we will probably have a few chairs displayed with some new season colour sashes plus afew floral decorations too to complete the look. Saturday night is a staying in night for me then Must remember flyers...but if you have a Sunday free and would like to wander around the fair Please do visit us and the other wonderful suppliers from photographers to cake makers and also a very professional wedding fashion show Oh and not forgetting the goody bagsThe Ballrooom at The Randolph Hotel 2010-10-5 10:07:10 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#76985 Having been established for over 4 years now We decided that we are going to write a snippet about some of our favourite people who we have met along the way This will be on our HomePage and will change once a month or longer There have been so many people who have been supportive in what we do and I dont think I can really thank them enough and this is our way of thanking them so that we can tell all potential brides out there who we think will definately offer the best service Believe me over these last few years we have met some not so nice suppliers out there we particularly dislike those who are caked in and smothered in fine fakery who try to put you down and they know who they are Their own websites say it all Just because youve done afew weddings at a certain palacedoesnt make you any better than anyone else Get off that high horse of yours we say And make way for the genuinely good people out there......Recommendations to follow Starting next week 2010-10-3 22:47:47 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#76981 We had the pleasure of exhibiting our chair covers at the Wedding Open Day at Eynsham Hall today The weather was not the best though it wasnt as bad as it was predicted by the weather menladies These open days are always popular and a gives a great opportunity for new brides and grooms to look for their venue...or even just for those who want to have a look around the hall and grounds It was a good day and hopefully all the visitors had something to take away with them There were some stunning floral centrepieces provided by httpwww.faithinflowers.co.ukand httpwww.balloonlady.co.uk plus some delicious sweetie centrepieces by httpwww.soireedelights.co.ukFor more info on the venue please visit httpwww.eynshamhall.comHope everyone had fabulous weekends.... 2010-10-3 22:21:53 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#76503 Ah..Just received another fantastic feedback from a recent bride of ours We love receiving these and so pleased to hear we did a great job for her Heres the link if you like to take a ganderhttpwww.guidesforbrides.co.ukreviewlist.phpadvertid74517Wonder if we will get any more this week.... 2010-9-27 15:40:13 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#76501 HelloAnd another mad weekend of weddings done and dusted Cant believe we managed to get through them all...but still great to see each and every single wedding we have covered are all unique in their own way We had a Teal themed wedding with peacock feather table decorations and an antique gold themed wedding in a traditional style....followed by a bright and bubbly Hot Pink gerbera inspired wedding Will uploads some pics later on here and TwitterBut congratulations to our all brides over the weekend.... 2010-9-27 15:35:12 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#75051 Just had to write a snippet about the beautiful indian wedding we decorated during the Aug bank hols weekend It was a big event..with 360 guests attending The wedding styling was not traditionally indian but with english and indian touches which we think look beautiful The marriage of east meets west The venue was Heythrop Park. The stylish bride had chosen a big ivory coloured marquee and to create the look she was after we decorated the vast blank space with colour... with ivory tablecloths matched with ivory chair covers. The dominant colour theme was peach and we used sparkly peach sashes tied on the chairs with matching peach table runners on each round table. The centre pieces were created by the talented Broadway Florist httpwww.broadwayflorist.com who created stunning martini vase arrangements with peach coloured roses and lilies. They also made large flower balls that were hung up in the marquee The transformation was amazing from a blank canvas of a vast white space wit... 2010-9-8 23:01:23 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#74910 Over the weekend I met someone who hires out digital jukeboxes Basically the jukebox plays whatever music you request without the usual need for inserting any money Almost like a DIY DJ Over the last 2 years I have noticed that bridesgrooms are opting more for diy music over the traditional dj with the use of a plugging in a simple ipod and creating their own playlists which is a really good idea as it saves abit of money and you play only what you want to listen to So I met a guy who runs www.digitaljukeboxhire.co.uk. This digital jukebox is something similar to your own dj There are thousands of songs on there for your guests to choose from You may like rock.. maybe your guests like abit of rnb or maybe abit of pop...or like I me... a large dose of cheese This digital jukebox would suit nearly every pair of dancing feet on the floor 2010-9-7 12:13:20 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#72425 Another busy weekend of weddings...and I cant thank Josie enough for her help last weekend with the marathon of weddings we did All of them were different themes and colours..it was lovely to see each one all set up We did a particularly pretty wedding at Eynsham Hall on Sunday www.eynshamhall.com where the bride had a pink and orchid theme wedding.

The bride chose crystal organza chair wraps and the room just looked lovely...shame the florist hadnt yet delivered her flowers at that time but the room looks so pretty just with the twinkly fairy lights I love fairy lights...lighting really does add ambience to a large room...and gives it that extra special touch especially when the evening draws in Another lovely wedding... 2010-2-8 22:04:03 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#57782 On a much happier note...Wedding TV has confirmed that the new series called Bride on a Bus will be aired from Monday 15th February 2010 Catch the first episode to see what its about We were so thrilled to have been asked by Eynsham Hall to provide our chair covers for the day It was fun to see the room transform into something stunning...You should see the floral arrangements by Riche De Fleur Very modern and definately provided that WOW factor 2010-2-5 15:37:03 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#57778 Now I dont usually get mad but when I do...I feel the need to let it out Better than keeping it in rightI had the misfortune of coming across a new start up chair cover company who is basically using some dirty tactics to get themselves some business Now I have no problem with more competition far from it But the way this other company are going about it....in my opinion is totally underhand I wont go into details of who they are though I believe they are based in Thame......but lets just say should our paths cross in the future they will not be receiving a warm welcome from me or my team Personally I dont rate highly of companies who dont even have any of their own work to show on their website yet claim they are the preferred suppliers to most wedding venues Clearly something not quite adding up there But thats just meReally sometimes it shocks me just how low people will go to better themselves Now I truly know the meaning of its a dogeatdog worldRant over....I think I need a c... 2010-2-5 14:09:29 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#56905 And so the wedding fair season begins again...This time kicking off at Eynsham Hall which is one of the nicest venues in Oxfordshire. There were alot of new brides coming through today very busy generally all day...and I hope everyone found something for their weddingI always enjoy taking part in wedding fairs as its a chance to meet the brides in person and also lovely to catch up with other suppliers in the business..esp the cake people as they always have cake tasters for us to sample Yum Unfortunately I totally forgot to take any pics because it was so busy....but if we do another fair later in the year I will make sure to take some to show you how a day at a wedding fair progressesWill be possibly doing another wedding fair at some point....so please come back and check for details 2010-1-24 16:29:48 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#55349 Well a brand new decade begins Where did 2009 go It has come and gone so quickly I am very fortunate that our little business is still here since I know 2009 may have been hard for many people out there with redundancies in lots of places and not to forget those well established brands that we grew up with like Woolies that are no more Which makes me feel lucky every day to know that we are still doing something we enjoySo what will 2010 bring for us....Well there will be afew new things we are adding to our services. One of which will be some new satin sashes and secondly the addition of some new table centrepieces. We are going to introduce some floral alternative centrepieces which I think would be great for those who prefer not to choose fresh flowers for their tables which can be used for weddings or special events. They are currently in the process of being made and tweaked here and there and once they are finished I will be adding some pictures to the site Thanks to my fr... 2010-1-2 20:13:24

hold back...and were a mixture of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with christmassy coloured icings So gorgeous Anyway basically they went down extremely well....and unsurprisingly she guessed who had arranged these little delights as it was so me ap... 2010-1-2 19:26:54 http://www.isischaircovers.co.uk/page20.htm#54049 Had a fantastic birthday celebration at the weekend at Oxfords new Roof Top
