Venue Owners Should Buy Red Carpets

April 29th, 2013 | Posted by TimD in Red Carpet Events | Red Carpets - (0 Comments)

buy a red carpetLast week we discussed the importance of having red carpet runners for your wedding. Since it is prime time for getting married, we thought we might continue down that path for a second week. This time, however, we would like to single out people who own and operate venues where weddings take place.

If you manage lush green space or even just a luxurious hall, you should absolutely have your own long red carpets at your disposal. Not only is it a nice convenience for guests who plan on renting your space out for their special occasion, it is a billable added service. Within months of purchasing your red carpet, you will be sure to make money back on the investment, and your guests will be thrilled to check off “red carpet” from their own to-do list.

Red carpets can be easily stored in closets or basements and are easy to clean as well. Frankly, if you have your own carpet for events, you are simply adding extra value to your space with little to no effort at all. So buy a red carpet, and make your space a more worthwhile venue for young lovebirds looking to tie the knot.

Red Carpets for Weddings

April 23rd, 2013 | Posted by TimD in Red Carpet Events | Red Carpets - (0 Comments)

buy a red carpetSpring is wedding season, and it is time to go over the finer details of your ceremony with a fine tooth comb. Have you found a perfect location for your nuptials? Is it outdoors? Is it bathed in sun with lush greenery and a stellar view that can only be upstaged by the beauty of the bride? Perfect.

Music, food, guests, dress, tuxedos…chances are it is all falling in line nicely and that is really great, but did you remember to buy a red carpet?

If you have found an outdoor space to have your wedding, there is a really good chance they do not have a red carpet for you to use. In fact, even many indoor venues lack access to a red carpet, so you folks afraid of the sun might want to make some calls as well.

No one wants to walk down an aisle that is unadorned with a luxurious red carpet. It is a standard wedding necessity, no different than a tiered cake or “something blue.” If you are beginning to worry about having a red carpet for your special day, the sooner you handle the problem, the safer you will be. Order your carpet today before the big day!

Red Carpets for Outdoor Spring Parties

April 15th, 2013 | Posted by TimD in Red Carpet Events | Red Carpets - (0 Comments)

buying a red carpetThe season for outdoor gatherings is upon us, or at least it should be once we get through these May-flower-enabling April showers. When you start letting people come, mingle, drink, eat and generally have fun in your yard, you might want to set some guidelines. We work hard to get our yards looking pristine. We meticulously choose flowers and a specific kind of grass. We do not want our guests traipsing over this hard work for a party.

A red carpet can be great for guiding your guests around your prized petunias. That red carpet can remind people to stay on the walkway and patios rather than stomping over the beautiful, lively garden and lawn you have worked so long on.

If you plan on having a classy outdoor party, you should really consider buying a red carpet to keep your guests on track to actual designated party areas.

Beyond the utility of one of these red carpets, your backyard will look all the brighter and your party will feel all the more special thanks to this adornment. Enjoying classy spring parties can be just as much about decor as your indoor events are. You simply have to find the places for improvement.

Roll the Red Carpet Out for Murder Mystery

April 8th, 2013 | Posted by TimD in Red Carpet Events | Red Carpets - (0 Comments)

red carpetFinding a reason to get together should not be difficult, but sometimes you want a real reason to have a cocktail party. In recent years, more and more people are rolling out the red carpet for…murder.

No, not actual murder of course, but surprising and fun murder mystery parties. Generally the idea is everyone gets dressed up in a popular old styles, be it from the 1950′s greaser era or the 1920′s flapper era. As the guests walk into your home and down your red carpeted hallway, they each receive a character synopsis. One will receive information that they are the “murderer.”

At some point the lights are turned off and one guest is pronounced “dead.” Guests get into what amounts to an excitingly huge game of Clue. It is adult pretend time and a great way to get a group of friends together for a unique and stimulating experience. You can serve thematic cocktails and play period-specific music to keep things humming along in a buzzy fun way.

Rolling the red carpet for some silly adult fun is important. There are simply not enough holidays and special occasions to get the most out of you and your friends’ time.

Safely Unspooling Your Red Carpet

March 28th, 2013 | Posted by TimD in Red Carpet Events | Red Carpets - (0 Comments)

buy a red carpetPlacing your red carpet for an event is nearly as easy as just unrolling it in place. These red carpet runners store easily and can be put in place by practically any physically able and competent person. That said, there should be special care to ensure that the carpet is placed as safely as possible. Should a guest find themselves falling, it might end up on your hands.

Key to placing a red carpet is assuring that, for the most part, the carpet does not move in any direction. A shifting red carpet could lead to tumbling well-dressed guests. This would be an embarrassment to them and a liability for you.

You also want to ensure the red carpet has been rolled out in a way that is completely flat and flush with the floor. An unnoticed pull or wrinkle in the floor could spell doom for a party, causing trips and spills.

While rolling out the red carpet is hardly rocket science, it should not be handled cavalierly. Sometimes it is the most simple tasks that are most easily turned into accidents. Take your time when unspooling your carpet, and you can ensure a stylish, safe event.

Red Carpets for Spring’s Arrival

March 18th, 2013 | Posted by TimD in Red Carpet Events | Red Carpets - (0 Comments)

buy a red carpetHaving a formal event outdoors can seem a bit off. Even if the decor, a natural and dynamic mix of greenery and brightly colored flowers, is among the most beautiful a host or hostess can request, it can still feel a little strange to be dressed to the nines and soaking in the sun.

Some light outdoor decorative flourishes can change everything. You can take your serving table and adorn it with a gorgeous and flowing table cloth before finding a crystal centerpiece. Place your food on silver serving trays, which will turn heads even as the natural noise of the outdoors keeps things lively.

A red carpet is also obviously a great way to lead guests into your springtime, outdoor party. Assuming the weather holds up, anything that might end up on your red carpet runner will likely be easily cleaned off with a vacuum or, at worst, a carpet cleaner. This is an opportune time to welcome guests–and the sunny season of spring–into your yard for a celebration. There is no reason to skimp on the decor!

If you are looking to buy a red carpet for your next outdoor event, look no further than our website.

Do Not Store Unclean Red Carpets

March 4th, 2013 | Posted by TimD in Red Carpet Events | Red Carpets - (0 Comments)

where to buy red carpetIf you are wrapping up your red carpet runner from an event, it is important to clean it before rolling it up and storing it away. Any debris or moisture can lead to a stain if the red carpet is rolled up and shoved into a closet for a long period of time. Each of those markings or stains can, over time, settle in and become permanent. As a result, your formerly gorgeous red carpet might become a stained eyesore by the next time you break it out.

Beyond simply vacuuming and taking time to blot any spills out of the carpet, you might also consider shaking out portions of the carpet or literally beating it with a broom. This will remove any food particles that might have found its way into your carpet. Those crumbs, if left, might attract pests who could chew clear through your beloved luxury carpet.

Storing a red carpet is easy, but if done in a way that is haphazard, it can lead to damage and undue need for cleaning prior to your next event. Simple spills will likely be manageable with some work prior to storing. Anything that has settled will require, at least, a carpet shampooer. The added cleaning effort will pay off in the end!

Oscar Wrap Up from Event Red Carpet Specialists

February 25th, 2013 | Posted by TimD in Red Carpet Events | Red Carpets - (0 Comments)

red carpetYour dip has been either filed away for late night snacking or completely devoured by Oscar party guests. The awards have all been handed out, to a wider swath of films than usual we might add. All that is left is a few days of gawking at our favorite stars on the red carpet and kvetching about just how bad Seth MacFarland was as a host.

Award season, and with it prime red carpet season, is winding down. Luckily, as regular Americans we can trot our own red carpets out for any gala events we intend to throw ourselves. Still, it is nice to look back at the Oscars. Even if the show itself left much to be desired, the glamor was still all there on the red carpet.

By most accounts, Silver Linings Playbook star and Best Actress winner Jennifer Lawrence was the most stylish gal on the red carpet this year. She strutted her stuff in a long flowing gown that eventually would trip her on the way to the stage. Elsewhere, big winners like Ben Affleck and Daniel Day Lewis looked uniformly handsome in their traditional suits.

In all, it remains fun to poke around and comment on how everyone looks. It also offers a little inspiration for any of us looking to throw a big red carpet event in the near future.
