The Wedding Tent...A Creative Canvas For An Awe-Inspiring Event.

If you’re considering marrying outdoors, or if you are looking to stage a reception that is anything but the ordinary, there is nothing like a tent to give you endless creative possibilities.

While tents are mostly popular for warmer months and as a shelter from unforeseen weather, they can actually be used year-round.

Nowadays, it’s not unusual to consider heating or air conditioning inside your tent. Clearspan tents, with their semi-permanent structures, are the best option (over frame or stake tents) for withstanding the elements. This type of tent offers better climate control, while it also allows for glass walls or doors, and gives the feeling of being in an event hall or ballroom.

“Fabrics and lighting will really make a tent come alive,” adds Elizabeth Webb, director of event services for Charlotte Arrangements. Ivy Robinson, owner of Ivy Robinson Designs in Charlotte, suggests mirrored garland drop-downs for added drama. And don’t forget you can add dance floors, chandeliers and twinkle lights for decorating the perimeter of the tent!

It’s not always easy to find a location where you can create the event of your dreams, detail by detail. But with a tent done right, you can create a memorable reception without ever being aware of your tent at all. ~KGM
