Outdoor weddings in Chicago are gorgeous and risky. The Windy City is full of outdoor wedding venues with stunning scenery—and the heat, humidity, and rain that can put a damper on a wedding day. (And don’t forget those annoying insects!)
A wedding tent is the perfect plan B (and plan A) that gives guests refuge from the unpredictable Chicagoland weather. It can also provide an intimate party, separate different wedding areas (i.e. ceremony area, dinner, dance floor, bar, etc.), and create an unforgettable wedding atmosphere. Modern tents come in styles that can fit your guest list and your unique style (contact a pro to choose the right tent for your special day). For interior wedding tent decor, use these unforgettable wedding tent ideas to create your own special day.
Dramatic Entrance
A tented wedding wouldn’t be complete without an entrance. A marquee entrance does just that, making a fantastic first impression on wedding guests.
Splash of Color
Give your guests a hint of interest against a neutral background. For a seasonal feel, choose a splash of color that signifies the season.
Over-the-top Floral Arrangements
Nothing brings the outdoor inside like beautiful floral (or greenery) arrangements. They can also bring height to a space or add romance to an elegant wedding reception.
Dramatic Up Lighting
The effect of up lighting is magnified in an intimate tented setting. Lighting can add drama and set the stage for a wonderful evening reception.
Unique and Colorful
A one-of-a-kind tent wedding is a combination of all those unique touches that make it different (and festive!).
Heavenly Dance Floor
A dance floor is a stage; make sure your stage is a beautiful setting for memorable moments and for busting a move. A proper stage floor can also have a practical purpose, especially when guests aren’t getting their heel stuck in the turf (or sand!).
Sky View
Clear tents are more than just a trend; they are an excellent way to make guests feel the beauty of your outdoor wedding venue.
Green Touches
For a more natural flair, bring elements of the outdoors in and coordinate with natural wedding tent décor. The beauty of this design is that décor doesn’t always need to match, just coordinate for a natural and well-designed wedding style.
Elegant Lighting
Stylish lighting can add ambience to an elegant wedding and beautiful low-light to a wedding reception.
Room with a View
A wedding venue with a beautiful view is a horrible thing to waste, which is why clear sidewalls can be a godsend. Not only can guests enjoy the view, these panels can keep away those pesky insects that can put a damper on a big day.
