A wedding for most is the climax of a union of love between two people. A day considered to be for the bride, many brides envision their weddings as the epitome of joy, color and beauty. Weddings have existed maybe ever since man lived in social groupings. Different styles of having a wedding have been done and redone. This is why most brides want their weddings to have a unique touch and differ from the other conventional weddings. Recent trends are seeing more and more brides opt for a garden wedding or an outdoor wedding.
Despite the fact, that having an outdoor wedding, places you at the mercy of the weather elements, when the conditions are right there is nothing more pleasant than a wedding in the open. The breeze seems to sway to the song and the birds chirp away as if celebrating with you. An outdoor wedding is considered more romantic and special than one in a stuffy room somewhere.
To enable your guests to enjoy the magic of the day, safe from the weather elements, a good spacious wedding tent is necessity. In selecting a good wedding tent, you need to consider the size and the space it has to offer. You may opt to get a big tent that can accommodate up to 500 people but they will look crammed in if it does not have sufficient headroom. You need to get a tent that is literally well rounded. It will allow your guests to see all that is happening around them and to dance when the time comes.
Even when you get the fitting tent, it can look very dull without proper wedding decorations. How you decorate your wedding tent, depends on how much you can accommodate in your budget. Regardless, it is a simple affair and you can use simple materials to spruce it up.
You can purchase string lighting and put it around the poles that support the tent. You can also hang it from one corner to another giving a ceiling effect to the tent. String lighting can be bought in various colors to match the theme of your wedding. You do not have to settle for the conventional white.
Candles are also a simple but effective way of decorating. You can place them in clear bowls to add illumination or in brown bags to give a dim effect. Candles have to be accompanied with flowers to give the right ambience. Use as many flowers as possible all over the tent. You can place them in vertical vases in the corners or they can line the aisle. Feel free to have petals strewn on the tables on the aisle and the ground. Flowers well placed in abundance will give off the feeling of being in “paradise”.
You can also use long satin cloths and use them to cover tables and to line the tent. Satin has a smooth luxurious feel to it and is perfect for weddings. If you can afford it, you can have a water fountain as the centerpiece in the main tent.
