Tent Draping?

Hi! I did something a bit different than what you’re asking in your post but just thought I would share anyway:


I had a tent without walls and originally decided against having leg drapes due to cost.
We watched the tent company erect our tent. At the end they said they had extra leg drapes in their van and they’d put them on for free! When they were done, the transformation and different was so striking!
The inside of our tent we did not drape. We didn’t drape the inside poles either. We just had string lights. It was perfect for our low key backyard vibe.
Here is a pic of NO leg drapes... vs. leg drapes. Even my fiancé was like wow, it truly makes it feel like a real wedding.

Oh my gosh - thank you so much for this idea!!!!! I will be asking the tent company about leg draping. You are right - it makes such a difference! I also have the string lights so I think this would work well. Thank you!!!!

Bird, this is beautiful! Can I ask what your dancefloor and light setup looked like since it was outside the tent and I assume, under the stars?

I'm excited for both of you! I'm an indoor cat, but love the innovation of outdoor couples.

View Quoted Comment Hey Michelle, the interior of my tent just had the industrial string lights that we rent with the tent company. We had our buffet station, dessert table, welcome table, favor table, and round tables for guest seating under the tent. Our dance floor and bar was actually in another area of our backyard. We also had our ceremony seating set up in another part of our backyard and we asked our cousins to help move the chairs from ceremony area to under the tent around the tables. (We asked them weeks before 🤪)


Ps. Our backyard was huge so we had the space. Are you doing a backyard tent wedding or will you be at a venue? Good luck!

LOL this isn't even the same tent! Nice try.

View Quoted Comment I posted pictures from the internet because I didn’t feel comfortable posting pictures of my wedding and the guests faces. I chose these photos to give visual examples of what I was describing.
