Enter the tented wedding. What better way to incorporate nature into the big day than to put the venue smack dab in the middle of it. The world of tenting offers such a wide range of options that there is literally something for everyone. Whether your clients want tents with clear walls and ceilings, no walls, or they prefer the bohemian feel of primitive tents or cabanas, they can have it. Tenting options are endless—from tent shape and size to the flooring, draping, fabrics, heating and cooling, and much more. The only variable is the weather, but you can even have a plan for that. In this issue, learn from the pros at Après Party and Tent Rental, Raj Tents, and Town & Country Event Rentals as they share the latest tenting trends. Each also provides a detailed peek at one of their top tented events from the past year.Looking for more exceptional ideas? How about showing tradition to the door?
