Amir Khan Engagement – Behind The Scenes With 1SW


The team here at 1SW had the pleasure of seeing their work all over the National Newspapers last week.

The flowers,arches,candelabras,wonderful stage and theming, seen in the background of World Champion Boxer  Amir Khan and Faryal’s engagement , was our work…

You can imagine the excitement amongst everyone on the team when news came through that our designs had been accepted.

Honoured to have been chosen by the Khan family, The 1SW Team immediately set to work, pulling out all the stops, to ensure Amir and his Dulhan were happy with every last detail.

The Khan family were equally excited and fully engaged in every detail of what, and how décor services were to be delivered. They were open to ideas but well focused on what they would like us to do. The event theme was cerise, cream with touches of silver and purple to bring an Asian touch in winter theme. The chosen colour scheme was designed to complement the outfits worn by the couple, fashionable, seasonal mode and party trend.

Due to scarcity of time and last minute confirmation it was a tough challenge but one that we undertook with great enthusiasm.

The result ?

A stunningly elegant backdrop to their celebrations…

1SW  brought together smooth cream panels , stylish floral arrangements , crystallized chain drops,,unusual silver chandeliers; candelabra’s ,Arabian style free standing floral vases, combined with carefully positioned lighting  to create the most incredible impact..

The theme was extended around the room , using specialized material for surround draping, black velvet chair covers, star lit effect lights and lots more accessories drawn from the extensive collection that 1SW hold,back at base in Bradford.

The Khan family have indicated that they were delighted with the results, in fact, overjoyed with the the quality of décor and the service they received  it goes without saying that the whole team at 1SW were overjoyed too.

Everyone involved , from stage to admin, was absolutely thrilled to be working with the Boxing Champion..and his family

‘We love what we do, creating the perfect backdrop for family celebrations, regardless of who they are, but it’s always fun to have a celebrity booking, and the Khan family were an absolute pleasure to work with’

With only 6 weeks notice the team moved heaven and earth to make sure every requirement was met…although with many years experience under their belt it wasn’t that hard.
