One can never predict what Mother Nature has in store. She stumps even the most expert meteorologists. However, a tent provides instant shelter. Perhaps your wedding is kid-friendly and you'll need to keep an eye on them. Maybe you're a just-in-case person. Or, you know it's going to pour. A tent offers security. Not to mention, security from the heat, wind or drizzle. Furthermore, clear top tents are available. For this reason, you can offer yourself peace of mind.

Hosting a chic tented wedding is not challenging if you commit. You have to choose a style. For example, a sexy set of chandeliers mixed with comfortable settes, Indian rugs and Moroccan poufs give you a Bohemian fete. However, maybe you prefer to keep it monochrome in tones of yellow. Just add wood tables, big ceramic servers, some Ikat patterns and fat candles. This will create an instant rustic look. Since you may be new to this process, consider hiring a designer. They will help you rent all the right pieces to make your vision a reality.Dana Manns of All Season Tent Rental  in East Amherst, NY says:"Tent Weddings are the best weddings! Its the only venue you can completely customize from top to bottom. From the flooring choices, to lighting options, to what kind of dance floor you want. The possibilities are truly endless. Furthermore, you get to choose the location and the view. Whether you want a rustic wedding, a modern wedding, or boho chic wedding, a tent is a blank canvas for you to create your dream day."

To illustrate, think of your tent as an outdoor room. Decorate it like you'd decorate a room you want to hang out in. Do you plan to dance? Then, obviously,  you are going to need a floor. Moroccan poufs? No problem. Lanterns everywhere? Light it up. You can even turn your tent into a show stopping gallery experience, with  paintings and sculpture everywhere. In conclusion, a tent is just like with your own home. There is no limit to what vibe you can accomplish.
