The main advantage of hiring a marquee is the flexibiility that the venue gives. The tent can be tailored to fit areas of any shape or size, and there are no restraints on decor, as may be the case in a fixed location, such as a hall. A marquee is perfect for a themed wedding, and, in the case of a large wedding party, more than one tent can be set up to accommodate all of the guests. A marquee can be partitioned off to create specific areas, such as a formal sit-down reception area, or a dance-floor area, as well as a special area for the ceremony itself.
In a country such as the UK, which is prone to a lot of rainfall, a marquee can create an all-weather venue that will prevent the unreliable weather conditions from spoiling the big day. All wedding activities can be kept undercover, and safe from the rain.
Another advantage to a marquee wedding is that it gives the couple the option to hold the event at home, if they have sufficient space. This would mean that they have much more control over the reception, and there are no limits on how long the party lasts. Several days, perhaps?
Design Ideas for a Marquee Wedding
Holding an event in a marquee means that there are absolutely no limitations when decorating the space, and this makes a marquee a perfect location for a themed wedding. Here are some ways that a wedding tent can be customized to the needs of the couple:
Formal Wedding Design
Formal wedding design incorporates a mainly ivory or white colour scheme, with pastel accent colours. The marquee may be set with long tables, overlaid with pastel-coloured runners, and traditional floral table decorations. The interior of the tent can be decorated with flowers, pale bunting, or tasteful lighting, to create a beautiful and very traditional effect. Peach and pale pink tones work very well incorporated into this sort of design.
Contemporary-Style Weddings
For couples who prefer a more modern design, the marquee can be decorated in bold colours, such as hot pink, or bold black and white, with a hint of silver. For an evening reception, the top of the tent can be blacked out and patterned with tiny lights to create a starry night effect, or alternatively, images can be projected onto the walls and roof of the tent as it gets dark, creating an atmospheric dance area. In a modern-style marquee, there are many stylish options when it comes to table decorations, and quirky, homemade ornaments can look really unique. A contemporary styled marquee can really put the stamp of individuality on a wedding event.
Bedouin Style
A marquee decorated in the Bedouin style can look absolutely stunning. In contrast to the pastel shades of traditional weddings, the eastern-themed tent is adorned in warm shades, such as terracotta, earthy reds and sandy yellows. Exotic drapes add atmosphere, and seating is informal, with rows of low couches, scattered with brightly coloured cushions. Even the tent itself does not have to be a traditional white wedding marquee. Many tent-hire shops can provide a Bedouin-style tent. The floor of the tent can look stunning when covered in sumptuous, Persian-style rugs.
Hobbies and Interests as a Theme
If the couple have a particular hobby or interest that brought them together, they may wish to use this as a theme in a marquee. For example, a marquee can be decorated in the colours of a sports team, with table decor reflecting subtle references to the team and the sport. This can still be quite tastefully done, but if the couple wish to make an impact, they can create a really bold theme that stands out from the crowd and creates a wedding or reception that is very personal and meaningful to them.
