So we rented a pavilion for our wedding reception, but if the weather is nice (fingers crossed) then I"d really like to set up the dance floor on the lawn next to the pavilion so that we can dance under the stars (I rented the pavilion mainly as a back up for rain, but I really just want to be outside and under the sky). I'd also like to string lights up across the dance floor. The problem is that there really aren't any trees close to the pavilion and I think it might be a little difficult string the lights from the pavilion to a tree that is 100 feet away.
So, Do any of you had any ideas about how to construct a pole type structure that is temporary and won't ruin the lawn? We will have lots of benches available to us, so we could use those as a base if we needed something. Here is a picture that I saw that does something similar. I just can't figure out exactly what they did and how they kept the poles sturdy so that they wouldn't fall with wind and still looks good.
