the tentHere are some images of the tent at The Abbey, and pictures of the private patio outside of it. The patio is towards the back, we were told there are usually some lights out there with high-top tables that can be decorated!...

PLANNING: To Tent or Not to Tent?That is the question we get so often! Tents ensure that your outdoor event will be a success, come rain or come shine. (Or snow and sleet! ) In the sweltering summer months, we love to create fabulous tented parties and outdoor air-conditioned rooms (if preferred) that provide your guests and our flowers with hours of comfort! But, every so often, Mother Nature offers up the gift of a perfect summer evening. On those rare occasions, when we are lucky enough not to tent, magic can happen under the stars! Below are a few beautiful photos of a wedding we planned and d...

Destination Wedding TentsWhen traveling to an exotic locale for a destination wedding, most couples would chose not to host their reception indoors (weather permitting of course). But what if you want that formal grandeur of a traditional wedding just as much as the beautiful backdrop and scenery you’ve selected? Try a tent! From a clear top to culturally infused designs and patterns, you can host your shindig under a tent with or without walls, while still getting to enjoy the gorgeous view behind you. {Photos: All photos via Raj Tents except middle left photo: The Knot} Raj Tents is definitely a trendsetter ...

Tented ReceptionsTented receptions have always been a fascination of mine. Tents have the power to transform a space, incorporate themes and bring a more private dining experience to your wedding guests. Many brides shy away from using tents because they could bring an undesirable “commercial” look to a wedding. Don’t be scared, just do your homework! Before you pop up a huge white tent, you may want to consider the new trends of using tents. Here are a few of my tips on tented reception ideas: Trend #1: Indoor Tents. A tent around each table can create more intimate dining area for your guests and can...

Tented Treasures...I love the whimsy of tents! They always have such an airy and magical feel. Instead of having a full tented reception, why not just have a tented sweetheart table, or tented bar area? Here are a few images to inspire you... {Images via Flickr, if you know a more specific source please let me know!}...

Purty TentsPeople feel one of two ways about tents: Love or Loath. To some they are big, complicated things that need to be gussied up a ton, and are a necessary obstruction from the open air that would otherwise be avoided. To other people, they are exciting, blank canvases. I probably would put myself in the latter category, a tent lover. To me tents evoke a sense of fantasy, especially in the right setting and well… with the right tent. Let’s face facts, not all tents are created equal. Some have horrible ugly poles, most need a tent liner, but then not everyone likes that draping, romanti...

Tents and TablesI still have some anxiety about our tent looking "sterile" so when I see pictures like this I am so encouraged! I can't remember where I found this one, but I really like it - mostly because the top of this tent also has those awful beams, and the lanterns really do seem to cover them up (or at the very least distract from them). I could do without the palms lining the sides of the tent, but I love the green and white!...
