Most Canadians get so excited about summer and it appears to FINALLY be here! This year has been a bit different though, covid-19 has definitely interrupted our hibernation phase, and we might have left our dens a little later than we had hoped for.

Though this might be the case, we can finally enjoy being outside, respect social distancing and start celebrating some smaller events that we’ve been missing out on over the past months. Many of us are enjoying some sense of normalcy by welcoming patio season! Patios are such a fun way to enjoy the weather, scenery and atmosphere. Humans are social beings and we know for our mental and physical health, we need human socialization and a certain amount of sunlight. Aren’t patios the perfect way to achieve both of these?! While keeping this in mind, safety should always be our number one priority.

In order to keep safety the priority, patios may not look or feel as they traditionally have. Restaurants are doing what they can to expand their patios at a last minute expense and are not always aesthetically pleasing. Chair Décor can help with that! Our linens are used to help transform any space, whether it be inside or out. What would be more poppin than a sequin linen absolutely sparkling under the sunlight, or a gorgeous Italian style red ganghnam linen perfect for both a family picnic or a romantic evening. Linens help bring the feel of indoors, outdoors! Renting linens from Chair Decor is a great package idea as well, help invite more guests to restaurants, golf courses etc to remind them that being safe doesn’t mean we cannot celebrate with lots of colours and decorations! We know that is it best to hold all small events outdoors but that doesn’t mean we need to sacrifice on décor! Patio or your backyard, Chair Décor is here to help.

We, at Chair Décor, are very excited that patio season is finally back, and are ready to ship linens, deliver and assist with curb side pick up whenever you are ready to place an order!

Style shoots are a unique and creative way for event planners to put their own inspirations into live pieces! There are number of reasons why style shoots are successful and how everyone is our industry benefits from them.

Style shoots are not necessarily only for tablescapes, they are used for many other purposes as well. We see a lot of style shoots in the fashion industry and for product placements. What is so exciting about style shoots in the event industry is that it usually is a collaboration of many different vendors who are all experts in their own unique fields.

Usually the head of these shoots are event planners or photographers, however many vendors work in collaboration. Starting with a vision board, the event planner creates a concept involving the colours and products they want used in the tablescape and room design. Once the concept is finalized, planners sift through their vendor contacts to see which would be the best fit to make their vision a reality! Sometimes this gives opportunities for people within the industry to meet and work with new vendors, which promotes a larger sense of community. Since we, at Chair Décor, are experts in linen, chairs, chair covers, and chargers, we usually provide insight and suggestions to help bring the tablescape to life! Vendors such as cake decorators, florists, models and Bridal gown designers also become part of the shoot. However, usually the first vendor that is sought after, is the venue. The location is extremely important, not just to have the idealized background, but also to know the type of lighting in the venue itself. Lightening is a crucial element to the success of a shoot. At the end of the day, there are 3 main reasons to go through the lengthy process of planning a shoot.

 

3 reasons why we believe Style Shoots are important:

1. Advertising (publications for magazines etc)

·         Style shoots are a perfect way to advertise. It is a way to showcase your abilities to design and execute creative visions.

·         Once the shoot is published, all the vendors then share within their own networks. This helps expand your social media audience.

2. Networking with vendors

·         The wedding and event industry is small but always changing and growing. Its extremely important to stay relevant by working with your trusted vendors but also build new connections.

3. Inspiring (important to be on top of trends)

·         Ultimately your goal is to inspire future clients, as well as your industry peers! Staying ahead of the trends is a great way to be a trail blazer.

We all know style shoots are exhausting, but you will get so much pride out of the end result. And who doesn’t like seeing their name published?

Chair Decor is involved in a number of style shoots a year. We love being apart of them and seeing the amazing, inspiring creations that planners come up with.
