Gone are the days when the dreaded drop of rain forces you to turn to Plan B: the plain white tent. (Whew!) Thankfully, taking cover has only created an entirely new opportunity to build a standout atmosphere no matter the weather. It’s possible to mimic an outdoor reception in the winter or rain, thanks to enclosed skylight tents. Or, take your guests on a journey and rent a safari-inspired setup. And you can’t deny there’s something oh-so-romantic about a candlelit dinner under draping white folds.
Here’s what we’re saying: the tent is a real option to create something beautiful from nothing. And below, we’re sharing 15 magical ideas to get you started.
