Balls

This is the easiest and fastest way to decorate the inside of a wedding tent. Individual balloons floating under the ceiling of the tent, or figures from them mounted on the walls, look very festive (from 80 rubles/piece).

The best option would be to use balls of two contrasting colors (in the color scheme of the holiday): , etc.

You can order a batch of balloons filled with helium and leave them under the ceiling . Then inflate the same amount and scatter them around the dance floor area. For the hall to look impressive, there must really be a lot of balls.

You can assemble a garland from heavy balls and stretch it across the platform (as in the photo below):

Fabrics

Fabrics for decorating a wedding tent are chosen depending on :

• season;
• ceremony style;
• budget.

Light airy materials that you can choose for a summer celebration:

• veil (on average 90-170 rubles/m2);
• chiffon (100-160 RUR/m2);
• organza (145-250 RUR/m2).

Thick fabrics:

• gabardine (110-190 RUR/m2);
• knitwear (200-290 RUR/m2).

Fabrics can be plain, colored, or patterned. The cost of the fabric required for decoration will depend on the size of the tent , full or partial covering of its ceiling and walls, as well as the number of fabric strips used (on average 40-150 rubles).

Hanging paper compositions

Decorative paper elements look very beautiful without requiring large expenditures .

1. Paper balls look very impressive. You can combine them with round-shaped lamps (approximate price - 150-500 rubles).
2. Flags (usually choose garlands of triangular flags - 100-500 RUB/m2).
3. Paper pompoms of various sizes and colors (up to 150 RUR/piece).
4. Paper flowers are one of the most elegant decoration options (the cost of one flower is from 200-1000 rubles).

Artificial and fresh flowers

Flowers are the most popular element of wedding tent decor, capable of adding a festive atmosphere:

• bouquets in vases;
• garlands of flowers or petals;
• flower pots (lace pots with hanging plants look especially beautiful: petunia, fuchsia, nasturtiums - from 800-1500 rubles);
• floral wreaths using natural materials (cones, nuts, rowan berries or viburnum) will decorate the autumn ceremony (from 1000 rubles).

Umbrellas

Compositions made from plain umbrellas or similar shades look beautiful (they are often chosen to match the design of the chairs, the color of the dishes and other decor used at the banquet):

• colored;
• in pastel colors;
• white;
• translucent;
• with additional decor.

Umbrellas can be hung in two ways : up or down with handles. If the second option is chosen, the handles of the umbrellas are decorated with bows made of beautiful fabric, ribbons, and flowers.

Plus in favor of choosing umbrellas as decor: several umbrellas can be used for an interesting photo shoot of the bride and her bridesmaids.

The cost of a simple plain umbrella is from 500-800 rubles/piece. , beautiful lace - from 1000 rubles/piece.

Types of wedding venues

Thanks to the tent, you have the opportunity not to adjust the number of guests to a certain area of ​​the room, but to select the site itself to the desired size by adding or removing modules.
This transformation is also very convenient when setting up a stage. If the pavilion is arched, then an insert can be installed in one of the bays, which will create a niche suitable for the stage and equipment, without taking up excess space in the room itself.

Arched design

The arched airy shape is perfect for a wedding registration. Decorated with drapery, it will create a feeling of lightness and comfort. The decoration of the dome, completed in the center with a flower arrangement, will make a strong impression on the guests.

Round tables decorated with tablecloths-runners or tablecloths in contrasting shades will fit organically here. Light transparent fabrics complemented with flowers will add sophistication to the decor.

By the way, when decorating tables, take into account the design of the dishes, as well as the geometry of the space. A winning decor will be a variety of candles in a beautiful frame (candelabra, custom candlesticks) and mirror surfaces.

When draping, I advise you to focus not only on the ceiling, but also on the posts along the tent and the background of the podium.

Since the podium occupies a central place and sets the main tone for the entire decor, its decoration should be a top priority. Use a combination of textiles with multi-colored lighting and everyone's admiration is guaranteed.

Rectangular configuration

A rectangular tent is suitable for large, large-scale registrations designed for 100 or more people. Decorating with fabric differs from arched ceiling, since the ceiling has a completely different shape, there is no center, and the fabric is stretched in the form of flounces with folds. Thanks to this surface, chandeliers made of satin ribbons, lanterns, and various garlands can be evenly distributed across the ceiling. The seating arrangement is more suitable in English (with rectangular tables) or herringbone.

Exquisite Dome Tent

An unforgettable impression will be made on the guests by Dome - a spherical tent, which, in addition to being wind-resistant and ergonomic, fascinates with its shape, evoking romance. By the way, the number of closed cells is adjustable, and if necessary, they can be replaced with mosquito nets, which will not disrupt the overall appearance, but will only emphasize its originality.

Walls and ceiling

The walls and ceiling of a wedding tent are usually made of fabric . The ceiling can be closed completely or partially (several stripes).

For walls, a beautifully flowing draped fabric in one or more selected shades is usually chosen. Individual fabric strips can cover metal frame beams .

Sometimes banners with printed images are placed on some walls.

The technique of “transitioning” decor (garlands, flower arrangements) along the perimeter from the ceiling to the walls of the tent is often used.

Entertainment and competitions

The great thing about an outdoor wedding is that you have limited space. Fresh air is associated with freedom of action, and there is a lot of scope for imagination. Often, for events in the tent, an entertainment program is ordered and many competitions are held. Some options:

• The fireworks at the end of the holiday will be remembered by all those present: this is the choice for the most luxurious wedding ceremonies;
• Launching aerial lanterns will be the personification of romance: buy lanterns in advance, hand them out to your guests, and when evening comes, launch them into the sky;
• Dance competitions. Where else if not in nature you want to dance with all your heart, so why not hold competitions in this topic. For example, for the best dance on one leg or for the most passionate number among couples;
• The Mummy competition is one of the most popular competitions at weddings. Guests are divided into teams and choose one person to be wrapped in toilet paper. The team that can handle it faster wins;
• Fire shows are now becoming an increasingly popular entertainment. Artists with knowledge of their craft will conduct a whole program with flying balls and lights.

DIY decoration

Many decorative elements can be made with your own hands. The simplest option is to create paper figures (flags, lanterns, simple paper flowers).

The materials you will need are the most common: paper (white, colored, corrugated), thread or twine for fastening, a stationery knife, scissors and glue.

Tip : The fastest and easiest way to decorate a tent is with garlands of flags (you only need thick rope, decorative paper and glue) or a waterfall garland (which can be hung on the walls of the tent). For the latter, do not forget to provide several extension cords.

And here is a video instruction fabric flags from the Mango Workshop channel:

There are certain advantages to a fabric garland:

• it is heavier than paper and more difficult to tear ;
• unlike some types of paper, it does not glare when taking photographs ;
• can be reused;
• easy to wash;

Another idea from the “Your Own Mistress” channel, which is easy to implement on your own. These are balls of thread . From them you can assemble individual compositions, suspended from the ceiling or a whole garland:

Below is an example of decorating the ceiling and walls using fabrics :

1. Lighting fixtures and pieces of fabric are hung on the top beam of the tent.

2. Stretch the awning and raise the tent (if the structure is collapsible)

3. The fabric is distributed along the entire length of the central beam (the fabric should sag slightly, but not be stretched)

4. Additional canvases are attached to the side walls of the tent to cover the wall.

5. The canvases placed on the walls are straightened. tables, chairs and presidium are decorated.

What is important to do before starting work :

• pre- calculate the area of ​​the tent, the required volume of fabric (dome, walls, furniture), the number of flowers to decorate the tent and create compositions for the tables ;
• prepare a stepladder, tools, and other necessary little things in advance - buttons, hooks and other fasteners .

Some disadvantages of tents

I can’t help but mention the existing disadvantages of tents:

• Lack of a toilet (you will have to take care of dry closets).
• Kitchen space (provide water supply).
• Electric generators (additional lighting, music, light shows).
• Floor covering (it is not available in tents).
• Furniture rental: chairs, tables, necessary equipment.
• Price is all additional costs.
• Closer control over tipsy guests, as well as their delivery to the venue of the celebration and the organization of transporting everyone home.

Some of these points can be resolved when choosing a tent placed on the territory of a restaurant or recreation center.

approximate cost

The price of independent registration will depend on the selected materials , as well as the number of people willing to take part and help the newlyweds financially (purchase of materials, delivery, registration). It is necessary to count on an amount of 10-30 tr .

When choosing a do-it-yourself design option, keep in mind that you will have to carry out installation and dismantling yourself, and organize delivery - this is unnecessary hassle, expense and extensive additional preparation. Lack of necessary skills can also be a problem.

The cost of decorating a wedding tent in a wedding decor studio is 30-100 tr . The main advantage is reliability, quality (you draw up an agreement and work with professionals in your field).

Advice! Check out the studio's portfolio before concluding a contract.

Decorating a tent is a rather complex process that will require a lot of materials and decorative elements, depending on the chosen style. At the same time, you will need to make efforts to create a romantic atmosphere for the ceremony.

Selecting a wedding menu

Mostly summer weddings are celebrated in the tent, so the menu for such a holiday has its own characteristics. There should be a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits on the tables, and salads and main courses are best served in small portions. This is due to the fact that several hours on the table can ruin the appearance of the dish or, even worse, make it inedible.

You need to choose a wedding cake with special responsibility, because it is the main decoration of the wedding table.

The choice of drinks for the wedding menu is also important. In addition to alcoholic drinks and cocktails, there must be juices, still water on the tables, and if it is very hot outside, then a sufficient number of ice cubes.

The main requirement for any wedding menu is a sufficient number of dishes, because guests cannot be left hungry.
