Well we must say that if you didn’t attend the Adopt A Pet  Wags and Wisker Event at Camp Copneconic on February 25th you really missed out.   We had a fabulous time and encourage everyone to attend next years gala event!

The lodge at Camp Copneconic was beautifully decorated in a Marti Gras theme.  Special Occasions happily donated the linens and the committee chose to use satin floor lengths in purple, greens and gold colors.  They also decided to go with our popular spandex chair cover with a matching satin sash. 

The main focus of the evening was not only to have fun socializing with friends, but also to help support Fenton’s no-kill Adopt A Pet facility with a silent auction. 

The lower level of the Camp Copneconic lodge was brimming from wall to wall with gift certificates, baskets and luxurious items to bid on.  I think everyone was having a good time trying to claim the highest bid.

After a wonderful meal and sharing time with friends we all left the event with happy hearts knowing that the money raised would be put to good use and the abandoned and abuse animals taken in by the Fenton Adopt A Pet shelter would finally be able to find a place to call home.

Special Occasion East is getting ready for Valentines Day with a special pre-day party. For this event we chose to decorate in reds and pinks .
 
 
The dining table and buffet were decorated in a ruby red satin tablecloth, pink poly napkins and silver chargers. All of which are available at  Special Occasions East of Grand Blanc, MI. 
 
The center of the table is decorated in a pink and white damask runner available at http://www.spoccdesign.com/ ($20) and a DIY rose centerpiece which you can learn how to make below.
 
 
 
We decorated the buffet to match the table setting with a ruby red satin linen and damask runner.  We also added a DIY rose pomander to this table along with Valentines themed goodies for our guests to enjoy.
 
 
 Arent these adorable!  These cute valentines day cake pops were the hit of the party. Available from Cooke Confections in Linden, MI.
 
The party was alot of fun and enjoyed by all.
 
Please contact us to get started planning your own Special Occasion!
 
 
 
DIY ROSE POMANDER INSTRUCTIONS:
What you will need:
2 rolls of colored paper streamers ( I got mine at the dollar store)
hot glue gun
glue sticks
3″ styrofoam ball (you can choose any size)
Start by cutting a strip of paper streamer about 24″ long. You will want to vary the length each time to make different sized roses.
 
 
Fold the paper over about 1/3 of the width the entire length of the piece.
Next you will want to start at one end and roll the paper into a rose between your fingers.  Its best to twist the paper once in awile to get a more realistic look.
 
 
You will want to add a small dot of glue at the end when you finish to keep the rose from unraveling.
Next add glue to the bottom of the rose and affix to your styrofoam ball to cover.
 
 
  Once you cover the entire ball, find a nice vase to display it on and your done! I also added ribbon to the base of my vase for a finished look, however you can add rocks or anything that inspires you.

Enjoy!

Heres a quick review of a few events we set up this weekend.  They were beautiful and the couples were a pleasure to work with.  Congrats everyone!!

First is a before photo of one of this weekends events at Swan Valley, a beautiful venue in itself!  When you add chair covers to an amazing location you finish with. . . . kachow! :)

Simply gorgeous!! The couple chose a white standard chair cover with a burgundy red sash. 

Here is another favorite.  This wedding took place at the Captains Club at Woodfield in Grand Blanc, MI.  The bride chose a white striped floor length table linen and our rouged white chair covers.  She accented with a silver sash and napkin along with silver accent linens on her specialty tables.  

We really loved how beautiful her linens looked with the fresh white snow gleaming through the large windows at the Captains Club. 

If anyone has any professional pictures taken of their event with Special Occasions linens’ pictured , please email them to us at spoccfavors@yahoo.com with information about your day and we will do a special feature on you for our blog!
