Gorgeous English Garden wedding to start off your week! The chic vintage vibe started with finding the perfect dress of layers & lace, and those invitations could not coordinate more perfectly. Nigel Edgecome shot the beautiful couple, and sent us some very gorgeous images! The reception was held at the Flaxbourne Garden in the UK with florals by Gingerlily Flowers.

Pretty Parasols

Are you looking for a subtle way to add a feminine and vintage feel to your wedding? Then parasols are the way to go! These pretty parasols can actually be used in ways other than shading, although that is a great advantage on sunny days! Parasols are very photogenic… see below how cute they make the pictures! They can also be hung upside down to decorate the ceiling of a tent; you can hardly tell they are parasols when they are upside down! Even if your parasols don’t have a practical purpose at your wedding, they are still so cute and fun to twirl around!

Timeless All-White Wedding Tents

I love weddings – all weddings – but nothing is more beautiful to me than an all-white tent wedding. Maybe it comes from Father of the Bride being one of my favorite movies of all time and the amazing wedding reception it featured, but I find receptions that are held under tents in the moonlight to be incredibly elegant and charming. Outdoor weddings can sometimes be a challenge due to weather concerns, but incorporating a tent could be a fabulous solution. Your guests are sure to love this romantic spin on a traditional outdoor reception!

Create Your Perfect Event with a Tent

What is more gorgeous than a Texas sunset? Couples who plan an outdoor spring or summer wedding in Texas often are spoiled by the beautiful backdrop of oranges, pinks, and purples of the Texas sky. Finding an outdoor venue in Texas is easy, but finding a tent that compliments the space sometimes proves to be a bit of a challenge. Some of the most amazing wedding tents can be found at these DFW vendors: Big D Party Rental, Live Wire Special Events, and M&M Special Events Company. Each of these companies carries multiple tent sizes, catering to any wedding size. Not completely sold on the idea of a tent wedding just yet? Here’s some inspiration….

This is one of my favorite ideas for a tent wedding. They used an old parachute!! How creative! It gives the traditional idea of a tent a fresh, fun twist…not to mention how ELEGANT it makes the space look! I adore this look.

This couple created a romantic, warm, elegant reception area by adding florals, chandeliers, colored lighting, and colored linens. Chandeliers hanging from the tent have become more and more popular. I have to say, it is one of my favorite trends! Chandeliers remind me of jewelry, and no outfit is complete without jewelry… just like no space is complete without a chandelier. It adds a feminine finishing touch to the space!

These two tent creations show how versatile a tent can be! On the left side, the couple chose a clear tent which allowed for the greenery and sunlight to shine through. On the right side, the couple opted for a cozier, more intimate setting by choosing darker colors and choosing to enclose their tent with walls. Both of these couples chose to drape fabrics on the ceilings. This is a perfect way to add pops of color and create a more finished look.

Here are some more tent weddings that are to DIE for!

I believe that every outdoor wedding needs a tent. Texas weather is unpredictable, so it is nice to have a tent large enough to hold the ceremony or reception if Mother Nature gives you an unexpected wedding gift. Plus, a tent gives you a BLANK canvas! As a couple, you had complete control over the decor and theme of the tent because here are no limits when it comes to decorating a tent.
