The Perfect Carpet Runner For South Florida's Best Proms!

Prom season is next month! Getting ready for their first public, social affair is a big deal for South Florida high school seniors. Many will be experiencing their first tuxedo and first formal gown, first limo ride and first time allowed to bypass a midnight curfew. Maybe. As students prepare for their last school dance by over taking the extravagance of previous year's prom, schools are preparing too, and especially when it comes to the perfect carpet runner for South Florida's best proms, CeremonialSupplies.com has just the right crimson pathway for these young gods and goddesses! Our plush, deluxe event carpet aisle runners are perfect for the grandiose productions South Florida graduating teenagers are organizing these days.

Last year South Florida's Christopher Columbus High School, a local, private South Florida high school included a real, caged tiger at prom night as part of their theme "Welcome to The Jungle." And whilst we know a caged tiger doesn't belong on the dance floor, it does prove that prom productions are getting to be as lavish as your imagination dares! Northwestern Senior High, Norland, Miami Southridge, William H Turner "Turner Tech", Booker T. Washington, and Miramar Senior High students went all out with some of the most sensational outfits seen on this side of the Academy Awards, with some students wearing bejeweled masks, hot rod emblazoned fire flamed tux, others drove up in exotic cars that matched their fantasy-styled, ultra glamorous garments, and in all, these young stars were shining brightly as they made their grand entrance. The more complex and extravagant the themes, the more reason to take the grand entrance up a notch with wide and long red carpet - or one of the other brilliant colors that match school colors like our deep blue carpet runner, the emerald green aisle carpet, the elegant black carpet, feminine empowering pink, and the regal purple aisle runner. These quality crafted deluxe event carpet runners are plush and luxurious and they're strong and sturdy for repeated use as long as they're taken care of and safely stored when not being used.

South Florida Prom Glam On The Red Carpet

The great thing about living and growing up in South Florida communities is that young people strive to support each other. Especially the young ladies, and one way they do this for example, is by treating high achieving seniors to make-overs for prom. New Level Excellence is a non-profit organization that steps up to help seniors who have excelled academically, held jobs, and will be going to college or joining the armed forces by helping them get their glam on for the red carpet prom by providing prom dresses, shoes, accessories, make-up, and hair styling as well as participating in a photo shoot. The radiant Northwestern High ladies made a stunning red carpet entrance, along with the rest of the student body for a spectacular prom that definitely ranks in South Florida's best! Remember that a red carpet walk does a lot more than create an attractive entrance - it uplifts the entire feel and decor of any event and CeremonialSupplies.com has the perfect event carpet runner for your glamorous prom. Choose from our standard ceremonial red carpet or royal blue event carpet runner, our ceremonial kit with red event aisle runner and classic brass stanchions with red velvet rope, or any of our colorful deluxe event carpet runners in red, blue, green, black, pink and purple. Sizes vary and you can even choose your favorite color event runner in the width and length that best suits your entrance decor.

red carpet and stanchions

Miami High is one of the oldest schools in South Florida with distinguished alumni that includes Gil Amelio, CEO of Apple Computer; Desi Arnaz, bandleader, actor, TV producer, and star of I Love Lucy; John Dasburg, CEO of Burger King; Bob Graham, Governor of Florida and US Senator; Veronica Lake, silver screen star of the 40s; and Roscoe Parrish, NFL wide receiver for the San Diego Chargers. The theme for Miami High's 2018 prom was "A Night In 20's Paris" and the prom was held at the Treetop Ballroom in Jungle Island, (in retrospect the venue would have better suited Columbus High's theme) where the graduating seniors enjoyed a red carpet prom entrance, as well as a night of fun, dancing, and photos. Take your South Florida prom to a higher level by including a glamorous red carpet arrival with stanchions and rope, a step and repeat banner with your high school logo or mascot for the official photo, and the rest will fall into place. CeremonialSupplies.com has all the products to make your South Florida prom night shine and be one of the best! Our prices are budget friendly, our customer service is attentive and knowledgeable, and our shipping is prompt and efficient. This prom season prepare your South Florida graduating seniors for the walk of the gods upon our plush event carpet aisle runners!

Best Prom In America's Pennsbury Prom Red Carpet Arrival Parade

Apparently there is such a thing as the best prom in America and it looks like Pennsbury High in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania has been putting it on every year since 2012! Making a name for themselves by inviting high-profile celebrities for the dance, the Pennsylvania school has featured guests John Mayer, Asher Roth, Maroon 5, and Root's percussionist Quest Love. This is how you do it! Best Prom in America's Pennsbury Prom red carpet arrival parade kicks off the annual event that has become famous for putting on a great show! Can you imagine a prom photo with John Mayer?! (That someday you'll be showing your grandkids, like all grandparents do!)

The Red Carpet Aisle Runner At High School Prom!

Good luck to all graduates, and may they bask in the red carpet aisle runner at high school prom night! Let's be honest, all high schools put on a prom, and although the days of auditorium prom dances have long ago been replaced with hotel ballrooms and ballroom carpets, the most exciting part of the last high school dance, is actually the limo ride. Mundane. Not for this Philadelphia high school whose mission is to "recognize their proud tradition and diverse community and prepare all students to become creative, ethical, and critical thinkers for lifelong success in a global society." We suspect the kind of effort this statement promotes will prepare students for success in a galactic society as well! A mission with such fundamentally constructive ideals says much about the principles the graduating students of Pennsbury High propose to practice into virtues. No wonder CeremonialSupplies.com is the go-to online shop for event carpet runners! We love ceremonies and take special pride in being providers of the finest crafted red carpet aisle runners for prom dance, graduations, and all other meaningful occasions, and it's students like the ones from Pennsbury High who encourage us to want to lay the crimson pathway of the gods at their feet. Our prices are budget friendly, our customer service is knowledgeable and attentive, and we ship promptly and efficiently anywhere! Hear that Pennsbury High School?

On The Red Carpet Everybody Is A Star At The Promenade "Prom" Dance

Yup. That's what it's called, and in its early days it was similar to debutante ball, where teenagers dressed up formally for the first time and attended their first social event. These first, special occasions are themed in many ways and this is where Pennsbury stands out! Each year the graduating class improves upon the past ones, but one thing remains constant, the red carpet walk - that special walkway that makes everybody a star at the prom dance! It used to be that a 3' wide or 4' wide red carpet runner of 10' in length was considered a luxurious entrance to the dance, today, taking its cue from major productions such as the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes, high school prom productions use up to 6' wide and 50' long red carpet, relegating to 8th graders the smaller size version aisle runner. The point is giving the student the platform to beam in their first real dress up affair because on the red carpet everybody is a star at the prom dance!

Groundbreakings Where Kids Participate

Groundbreakings where kids participate have a way of inspiring our sense that these kids will someday be all grown up and embark on groundbreakings of their own. Groundbreaking ceremonies are symbolic gestures that go back, some say, to King Solomon's times, when the consecration of ground, which is essentially what happens at a first sod-cutting, involved all sorts of obscure sacrifices and complex rituals. Today modern man has found significant ways to anoint the ground upon which he hopes to build. One of these is involving the children of the main people who will be shoveling first dirt at a groundbreaking ceremony by having them stand alongside their parent and hold their own mini groundbreaking kids shovels. CeremonialSupplies.com understands the importance of landmark moments that honor traditions and encourage young kids to participate in projects with physical and visual impact in neighborhoods and communities. A quick review of photos and videos where a parent and their child are standing side by side with groundbreaking shovel in hand, provides inspiration for a wholesome future.

Groundbreaking Kid Shovels

Whether it's a family business, a corporate expansion, or a public structure, including kids in a groundbreaking ceremony is not just a way to give them something to do that doesn't involve their phone, it's a way to plant seeds of success in their young minds. The parent is most likely the owner, a partner, a high stakes shareholder, or the CEO and dressed in business attire, and standing next to them for the official groundbreaking ceremony photos their kids, wearing a miniature version of the same attire, or same color shirt to match CEO mom or dad's business suit, makes for the kind of keepsake that stands the test of time. Aside from dressing alike, the touch that makes this moment symbolic is the groundbreaking shovel and the message imparted in its logo, color, and shape. CeremonialSupplies.com has a selection of finely crafted, stainless steel groundbreaking shovels priced for every budget. Full size ceremonial shovels are 41" in height and the blade's width is 9.5" and have a D-Style handle. This handle is what differentiates ceremonial shovels, which are held in a specific position for the ceremony, photos and videos, from the traditional working shovels that are actually used to move dirt around. At Ceremonial.Supplies.com we have both, and more! The long stem traditional groundbreaking shovel has a stainless steel blade with polished chrome finish for elegant customization while maintaining the working shovel design. For more variation, we also have a full size line of colorful groundbreaking shovels in blue, red, orange, greenyellow and pink and a line of groundbreaking kid shovels that measure 26" in height, with a blade with of 6". These groundbreaking kid shovels are available in blue, red, green, yellow, orange, pink, and teal and both the full size groundbreaking colorful shovels and the groundbreaking kid shovels can be customized directly on the stem, with an engraving plate that is placed on the stem, on the handle, on the blade or all three! For the colorful groundbreaking shovels, logos look best when it's one single color on color. There are a few exceptions where a multiple colored logo will look good over blue, red, and yellow colored shovel blades.

shovel with hard hat on stand 

Before the actual ceremony your ceremonial groundbreaking shovels can be dressed with hard hats and giant bow, and placed on display stands. After the sod-cutting takes place they can go back on the display. The ceremonial shovels on display create another perfect area for photographs of the event if you haven't designated a step and repeat location. Standing next to the groundbreaking shovels on display before the ceremony while the shovels are adorned with ribbons or bows and hard hats makes for a long lasting keepsake of the occasion. CeremonialSupplies.com offers the "Essential Groundbreaking Kit" that includes the ceremonial shovel, its stand, and a hard hat each.

Bringing your kid to stand beside you during a moment of pride and accomplishment is a wonderful way to add your own touch of tradition to your groundbreaking ceremony. Don't pass up the opportunity to create memories that become treasured family heirlooms! Preserve and display your ceremonial groundbreaking shovel in one of our display stands or cases and don't forget to include a plaque for all the high profile participants that will be making speeches at the event. CeremonialSupplies.com has all the products you need for an unforgettable groundbreaking ceremony - from the ceremonial shovels, groundbreaking kid shovels, to hard hats, ribbons, and plaques. All at budget friendly prices with prompt and efficient shipping everywhere in the world!

Why have a grand opening for your business?

Grand openings are quintessential to the success of any growing business. They allow for the attracting of customers that would potentially have never known that your business was even in the area. This rings especially true for large city centers like Atlanta where a new business could easily get lost amongst the hustle and bustle of daily life. Grand openings can also generate buzz and attract media attention to your business. Imagine hundreds of people waiting outside your business for a chance to get in and take part in all your hard work! Getting customers to talk and create hype for your business is critical in your success. Not only will you get more customers, your reach will exponentially increase with the added factor of media coverage of your grand opening! Media outlets, radio stations, and more will relay to their consumers of your wondrous ceremony. As for the actual details of your opening, envision a beautiful, personalized ribbon strung between two shining stanchions, a crowd of excited attendees and finally, yourself, standing with the ceremonial ribbon cutting scissors ready to let in all of these potential customers. And just as important, a grand opening is an opportunity to set yourself on good terms with surrounding businesses. Fraternizing with other businesses in your area allows for you to create a network that supplies you with even more customers. Grand openings are simply a must have!

The Walkway of the Gods

The red carpet, according to Greek mythology, was an honor reserved for the Gods of Olympus. Mere mortals, such as King Agamemnon, didn't fulfill the life expectancy he would have hope after setting foot on the "crimson path" laid out for him by his unfaithful wife. Nevertheless the red carpet treatment flourished over time and today stepping on to a red carpet is a symbol of glamour, wealth, and stardom! New York, where gods of fashion, art, architecture, film and theater, literature, science, and just about every profession and trade coexist with us mortals in our modern world, a university school graduation is the kind of event where a red carpet aisle runner isn't just a crimson pathway to a diploma, but an invitation for young gods to aspire to ultimate success.

Once a symbol of social status and seen mostly in renaissance art depictions of saints, gods and royalty, the notion that the red carpet made people feel special grew and we find it making a historical appearance in 1821 to welcome US President James Monroe ashore from a riverboat, and in 1902 used to direct first class ticket holders to board the exclusive express passenger train out of New York Central Railroad. Then came Hollywood and the red carpet, stanchions, and step and repeat banners took the world by storm. Today the honor of a walk on a plush, red carpet aisle is also notably given to high school graduating seniors and college and university graduates. Which brings us to the graduating classes of 2019!

The Red Carpet Aisle Runner Doesn't Have To Be Red

At CeremonialSupplies.com we have the best selection of deluxe, crafted, ceremonial aisle carpet runners in blue, green, pink, purple, black, and red. These plush, high-quality edged aisle runners are available in widths of 3, 4, and 6 feet and up to 50 feet in length (except for the 6' wide runners go up to 30' in length only). We also carry a Standard ceremonial red carpet version that is just as functional and eye-catching and available at the popular dimensions of 3' by 10', 15', and 20'. Our deep blue carpet runner matches nicely with NYC top Ivy Leaguer's Columbia University blue, and while it isn't the crimson pathway, Columbia University sure has plenty of research gods to walk it! The same with Cornell University in Ithaca, NY where a plush, thick, cherry red carpet plays up the school's carnelian and grey colors. Think of royal blue for the University of Rochester. One of CeremonialSupplies.com most popular event carpet runners is the deluxe, purple! What an extraordinary graduation aisle carpet runner for New York University in NYC.

With creativity and CeremonialSupplies.com you can create a memorable and meaningful graduation ceremony that will live on in photos and videos. Shop CeremonialSupplies.com event carpet runners for the best quality red carpets, at budget friendly prices and our efficient delivery anywhere you are in the Empire State, from the border towns of Massena and Ogdensburg to Watertown, Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany and Yonkers - we will put your carpet runner on your front steps promptly!

The 'Must Haves' For A Successful Groundbreaking Ceremony

The ceremonial groundbreaking shovels are a must! They're the stars of the ceremony, the tools that will make first ground cutting for an endeavor that went from idea to reality. The ceremonial groundbreaking shovel, or shovels, depending how many will take part in the event, represent the most symbolic part of the ritual in the hands of persons closely associated with the project. These are usually the owners or executive officers of a company or corporation, and local or national government dignitaries and clergy. CeremonialSupplies.com makes available varied styles of groundbreaking shovels, one of which is sure to fit your event! All our ceremonial shovels are made of stainless steel, and range from our Standard, chrome blade and wood handle to our Deluxe polished chrome with wood and steel handle, the VIP mirror polished finish, and the traditional, polished chrome blade with long stem handle, or the polished steel, red oak wooden handle.

If you want to get more creative, we have a selection of D-style wood and steel handle ceremonial shovels in yellow, green, red, blue, orange, and pink blades that make an impressive display as they wait to be used, and which can double as a photo opportunity when they're fully dressed with hard hat, bow, and on their individual stands. A momentous event like a first soil cutting will live on in photographs and videos - especially if the media is present! Posing with the groundbreaking shovels when they're fully dressed with hard hat and bows and on display, is another opportunity to further the promotional value of the event. In addition to our full sized groundbreaking shovels that measure 42" in height and have a blade with of 9.5", we have colorful mini groundbreaking shovels perfect for children who will take part in the ceremony.

All of our groundbreaking shovels can be customized on the blade, the stem, the handle, or all three. Hard hats are available for personalization also, as are ribbons. Personalized ribbons in various widths can be used to decorate tables and double as keepsakes of the occasion.

Historic Pennsylvania has seen more than the average groundbreaking ceremony, and combining the rich history of the Keystone State with modern tools such as colorful ceremonial shovels and their display stands, customized hard hats, personalized ribbonsstep and repeat banners for official photographs, red carpet aisle runner flanked with stanchions and rope, and award keepsakes and plaques for the VIPs and dignitaries who will be making consecration speeches, these are the key items that will make your Pennsylvania groundbreaking a cut above!

Presentation speeches flow in an organized way when they begin with a reference to the past. All endeavors require perseverance and vision and in Pennsylvania, there's no better event that embodies these virtues better than the brutal winter the American Continental Army spent in Valley Forge, near Philadelphia; make use of the significance of this proximity! Or the first paper mill in North America founded in Rittenhouse Homestead, today part of Germantown, Philadelphia. Downtown Johnstown Historic District, first settled by Swiss-German immigrants; and the Amish Village in Lancaster, or the Grist Mill, built in 1750 and now the oldest building in Boiling Spring's historic district; these are all standing structures that at one point in the past went from the imagination to a sod-cutting, and they are facts easily incorporated into the decor and the speeches of a groundbreaking ceremony in Pennsylvania.

Stanchions And Carpet Aisle Runner For A Picture Perfect School Event

Stanchions are upright, cylinder shaped standing posts constructed of steel, metal, or plastic and are most commonly used as barriers to guide the flow of people at an event. They're also called "barrier posts," "rope barriers," "crowd control posts," or "crowd control barriers." The rope connects stanchions together and the choice of rope depends on preference and aesthetics, with options including velour, velvet, or braided ropes that add to the elegance and sophistication to the decor. Combine the right style of stanchions and carpet aisle runner for a picture perfect school event and soak up all the accolades!

stanchions rope and red carpet

A High School graduation is a big accomplishment and should be treated as such. High Schools, even Kindergarten and Elementary School graduations, are all including a red carpet walk for students. Psychology tells us these positive reinforcements serve as propellers for high achievers, and what better way to send High School students out into the world than with a graduation ceremony that acknowledges their dedication and achievement? Some of the top High Schools in the country, such as Horace Greeley in New Castle Town, New York; North Allegheny High in Pennsylvania; Glenbrook North High in Illinois; Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, in Fairfax County, Virginia; San Marino High in San Marino, California; Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science & Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, all ranking in the top 10 public high schools nationwide, set the pace of excellence in everything from academic standards to top notch productions and stanchionsrope and carpet aisle runners are essential products.

Each year the purpose is to raise the bar from the previous, and whilst we're not staging an opera, we are enacting a performance. Imagine the thrill of walking a red carpet aisle runner, a pathway once reserved for mythological Gods, flanked with shiny, classical brass or chrome stanchions, and velvet red rope, with Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance," Giuseppe Verdi's "Triumphal March" or John Phillip Sousa's "Recognition March" or "The Washington Post" playing as students take the ceremonial walk to receive their diploma! The befitting setting showcasing a plush, red - or blue, pink, green, purple, even black carpet aisle runner, flanked with shiny brass stanchions and velvet rope is a moment a student will eternally remember and hopefully surpass with bigger honors. It's all about the first impression.

Carpet Aisle Runners and Classic Brass Stanchions Beyond Graduation Day

Red carpet and classic brass stanchions are a given for graduations, but once a school has these essentials in their inventory, what other events can use the glamour associated with a posh carpet walkway and decorative stanchions? Homecoming Dance, of course! What could be more regal than laying out a carpet aisle runner in school colors to crown the Homecoming King and Queen? Then there's the prom! Imagine a red carpet walk to enter the ballroom, stanchions and rope guiding the flow of people toward a step and repeat banner for the official photograph? This red carpet setting definitely sets the tone for the type of sophistication we'd all like to repeat in our lives, several times!

Classic Stanchions and Rope Perfectly Suit New Mexico's Cultural Style

Contrary to popular belief, there are pueblo-style guest houses and hotels in the high desert of New Mexico as grandiose and luxurious as what you'd expect to find in metropolitan cities that cater to the international jet set. And just like their counterparts, these venues are home to corporate functions and galas, weddings, anniversaries, proms and graduations - events where the flow of people is ideally organized with stanchions and rope and even stanchion post's framed signs. The key is to make sure the stanchions and ropes used in these opulent resorts, fit the decor of the hotel, and the area. New Mexico hotels like the Inn of the Five Graces, the Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, and the Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado in Santa Fe, certainly live up to their five stars ranking, and for these hotels the classic stanchions and rope perfectly suit New Mexico's cultural style and upscale ambiance.

stanchion and rope

Stanchions are also called "barrier posts," "crowd control posts," "rope barriers," and "crowd control barriers." In fact, stanchions are upright standing posts that can be of metal or plastic, and are slim, cylinder shape with variation of tops that range from the classic, ball top, to urn shape top, or flat top. The latter which is designed for an infinite variation of line configurations. The choice of rope for a classic stanchion depends on preference and the aesthetics of the event, with options that include plush, velour or braided ropes appropriate for high-end hotels and resorts holding prestigious events.

CeremonialSupplies.com offers a competitively priced selection of high quality, choices of the most popular decorative posts and ropes styles available. Our classic decorative stanchions are chrome or brass plated, adding elegance and glamour to lavish events. New Mexico's rich, pueblo culture is definitely prominent in the more sophisticated and elegant hotels we find in many cities of the Land of Enchantment. Picture a corporate function entrance in the Hotel Andaluz in downtown Albuquerque, with red carpet aisle runner flanked by classic, brass stanchions and red velvet ropes! Maybe a wedding reception at the Casa Blanca Inn in Farmington, or a conference gathering in El Monte Sagrado in Taos! Our classic, brass stanchions and rope are perfectly suitable for events in the luxury rich environment of these hotels.

Retractable Stanchions

There are other styles of stanchions and rope, and CeremonialSupplies.com is proud to carry all of them. These may not fit the elegance and comfort of five star resorts, but they are appropriate for venues that have a volume of mass traffic, such as the Santa Ana Star Center, Tingley Coliseum, Dreamstyle Stadium and Arena aka "The Pit". For these, retractable belt stanchions are the best bet. The belt cassette feature allows flexibility in arranging endless combinations for the desired line flow. CeremonialSupplies.com offers 4-way retractable belt stanchions made from durable steel in matte finish, with a belt that extends up to 6.5' available in black, royal blue, red, or grey. For events where visibility is important, such as The New Mexico International Auto Show in Albuquerque, we offer mini stanchions in chrome, brass, and black matte, with a height of 24", with retractable belt that can extend up to 11 feet for space economy. These barrier posts protect an exhibit or display and save floor space at the same time, for better view and minimal risk of damage to the display. Retractable belt posts are also available with two-sided, stainless steel sign frames in chrome finish in 3 sizes (7 x 11, 8.5 x 11, and 11 x 14) equipped with an attachment cup for seamless locking into our 4-way stanchion adapter top. Perfect everywhere an organized, large, crowd flow is wanted.

Plastic Stanchions

Perhaps more suitable for outdoor parks and outdoor museums, CeremonialSupplies.com has available high quality, portable and durable plastic stanchions made from high density polyethylene material and designed for outdoor use - although they are pretty enough to use indoor. These weatherproof plastic stanchions are elegantly shaped, each including a pole with a hollow base and link chain that has a C-hook for attachment. The hollow base makes it practically weightless for easy shipment and transport, and weighed down with sand or water as a stabilizing filler when in use. Available in black, white, and yellow, these stanchions are rustproof and fade resistant and ideal for outdoor events!
