1- Consider size…If your tent is too small you will not have ample mingling space. You do not want your guests to have to stay camped at their table all night.

2-Consider light...
Do not take the tent company up on their
‘add on light for the tent pole’. Most are a glorified construction high wattage, hot bulb. You’ve spent thousands on your wedding and then you’ve turned it into a blinding “we didn’t want you to trip on the uneven ground event”. Use paper globe lights, battery twinkle lights from the corners, large pillar candles in hurricanes and hang candles from Sheppard’s hooks lining the entrance to your tent.3- Treat your floor…
Unless you have a level surface with well maintained sod, opt for a floor. Your guests donned their best garb- don’t make them get all dusty.
4- Thwart the elements…
Install tent sides and a pretty fabric entrance to block the wind. Rent heaters, so your guests don’t freeze.
5- Gussy it up…
Install flowers up the center pole, swag fabric or flowers across the ceiling, install ruched fabric along the ceiling, make your guests gasp.
Remember you are transforming your space for your event. Whether it’s your living room or your backyard, treat it right.
