Saying it with flowers

The marquee can be seen as a blank canvas upon which you can stamp your personal touch. As you are having your nuptials outdoors, it makes sense to bring some of the great outdoors inside. You can decorate the roof of your marquee with roses and ferns to add colour and a beautiful aroma. An alternative is to hang dramatic chandeliers or lanterns from the roof for a special effect.

Outdoors
Weather you are in a hotels outdoor field with your marquee or castles garden you will want the nature around you to look well kept and looking beautiful for the occasion. If the venue hasn’t all ready organised something you could suggest using a Grounds Maintenance Gloucestershire company at websites including  http://gloucestershiregroundsmaintenance.co.uk/.  The amount of variation provided is incredible from grass cutting, weed control to full landscaping needs.

Sign of the times

If the wedding is taking place in different parts of the garden or estate, you can make wooden signs directing guests to the welcome reception, the wedding ceremony, and the marquee for the meal and dancing. Don’t forget your own hashtag so that the special day can be shared on social media for the whole world to celebrate with you.

Raising the roof

The only way is up on your wedding, so let’s think about raising the roof. You can find marquees with clear tops to see the stars twinkling down on you as you dance to your tune. You can also achieve an airier effect with swathes that look like sails instead of a fully-enclosed roof. If you want to make a dramatic statement with your marquee, tensile fabric structures are available in many shapes and colours. Experts can provide many examples of tensile fabric structure ideas for your wedding marquee.

Taking a leaf out of nature’s book

If you are having a rustic theme to complement your natural setting, you can use leaves or driftwood as table decorations. You could find large leaves and carefully write your guests’ names on them for place settings. If it is a casual affair, you could set up long picnic tables for your wedding feast, which is more informal than tables of six and eight. You could also put hay bales for people to sit on after the meal to add rustic charm. Large beer barrels also make attractive and stylish tables for people to chat around.
