While planning an outdoor wedding can give you a lot of freedom to be creative and allows you to have your special day at your dream venue, it also means you will have to plan a fair share of rentals. Finding the right tent is a high priority task that you must get right and is one of the first things you need to do.
When it comes to crafting your perfect vision of your special day choosing the right tent style and size are the most important. Choosing your tent is less overwhelming when you have an atmosphere and vision already in mind. It is also important to consider the time of year.
If you need help in deciding which style of wedding tent is right for you, here are the top three styles that most tent rental companies provide:
Frame Tents
This style of tent is popular because it can be set up virtually anywhere, covering patios, driveways, walkways, lawns, and more. The set-up takes a bit longer than other options but that is to ensure safety and sturdiness. The plus side to that is that these tents once set-up can usually stay up for over 48 hours.
This style is easy to size and style with your wedding and you have a choice between a white-top or clear-top frame at most rental companies to ensure that the tent will match best with the style of your wedding. Providing coverage, shade, and protection from the weather are also popular elements of this tent style.
Pole Tents
If the venue for your wedding is outside in an open area this style might be the best option for you. This style can only be set up on grass or other non-concrete surfaces. The biggest selling points of this tent style are the iconic peaks and swooping coverage that it provides for your wedding. Along with the style, the fabric will complement any color scheme that you have for your wedding. What is iconic about this style is the poles located all around the structure of the tent which also allow you to incorporate your own decorations organically with the poles. Pole tents come in very large sizes so they are perfect for large weddings.
Sailcloth Tents
Sailcloth tents are one of the most desired tent styles because of their high crested peaks and swooping fabric curves, although similar to the style of pole tents, this style uses attractive wooden poles to enhance the aesthetic of your wedding. Another positive about this type of tent is that it can also be set up on any surface. One of the main reasons why this tent is the most desired is because the durable translucent material of the tent is also waterproof. This way there is no need to worry about the weather on your wedding day and you can focus on spending time with your friends and family.
