Last week we discussed different types of tents used for wedding parties. This Friday we are chatting about additional items that can spruce up your wedding tent! Side Pole Draping: From Pole tents to Frame tents there are many side poles installed during construction of the tent. Draping these poles is a way to reduce the roughness of the aluminum surrounding the interior of the tent.

Ceiling Draping: A wonderful way to transform a tent structure is to drape the ceiling. Draping hides the structural elements of the tent and gives a polished and personalized look. There are a few ways to approach draping: you can go custom and choose both the type of material and the color, or you can choose non custom draping. As with all things (custom) there is a higher price point if you go in this direction. Draping a ceiling takes at least one full day.  Partial draping is also an option. Colorful swags of material make your space unique and eliminate the bareness of the tent.

Hanging Lanterns: Adding lanterns to your tent ceiling creates a dramatic space for your guests. Not only do they provide a natural glow, these fixtures fill the top of the tent with interest and excitement! Be sure to check with your tech tent vendor as to what the fire code rules are for your area.

Chandeliers: Whether you wish to have a crystal chandelier or something more casual such as a ribbon chandelier, there are many options when it comes to light fixtures.

Crenellation: Crenelated decorations add a nice touch to the perimeter of the tent!
