No matter what type of event you are hosting, creating a theme is the base for any party and can truly tie the space together. Creating a theme can be as simple as choosing a few accent colors that serve as the basis for decorating your space. Be sure to follow the style that you choose by adding custom chair linens, flower arrangements, napkins, and table runners that all have matching colors and/or designs to complement your theme and create an aesthetically pleasing, cohesive look throughout the tent.

Many tents are oftentimes plain, so adorning the interior of the tent with different layers of fabric is one of the easiest ways to add a personal decorative touch to match the theme of your party. Instead of decorating your tent with one kind of fabric, consider adding layers of fabric of different textures and/or colors to add depth to the space. One way to instantly add a bit of charm to your tent is to add silk draping. Layering sections of silky fabric that cascades from the top of the tent will create an elegant, glamorous feel to the space. Adding netted, sheer, or transparent decorating fabric for, say, a summer party, will add a whimsical feel to the tent, while allowing for a cool summer breeze to flow through the space. In addition to different textures, consider using different hues of fabric to add a burst of color to your tent. Our classic plus tent is a great choice for any outdoor party. This 40 foot wide tent is manufactured with exclusive, high quality black-out vinyl material and embedded filament lines, which allows for the easy attachment of draping fabric, and also has the option of expanded covers for larger events. We also have a 30 foot wide tent for smaller parties.

Balloons have long been considered a party staple because they’re fun, inexpensive, and easy to add to any event, no matter how big or small. The lightweight quality of balloons is why they are such a popular decorative addition to parties, especially outdoor events, since they easily can be attached to the ceiling, entrance, or sides of a tent. Whether you want confetti-filled balloons for your daughter’s graduation celebration party, or a balloon banner for your friend’s birthday, the options are limitless when it comes to decorating a party with balloons. They can add a very festive, celebratory atmosphere to any event.

Adding lights to a tent is a creative way to add an ethereal feel to your party. If you are planning to host an event that will run into the evening or into the late hours of the night, installing some sort of light fixtures is a must. Consider decorating your tent with trendy string or fairy lights, crystal chandeliers, or lanterns, to light up your space and keep the party going even after the sun sets. Our ETI clear cover tent allows for the easy installation of any light fixtures of your choosing, effectively illuminating your space as the stars come up, while still allowing for a scenic view of your venue during the day.

A well-designed entrance can truly make or break an outdoor event or party. Many party planners oftentimes tend to get so wrapped up in designing the interior of the tent, that they forget to create an inviting entrance – don’t make the same mistake! Being greeted by an amazing entrance, followed by a well-decorated interior, will be sure to wow your guests. Consider adding arches, pillars, lighting, welcome boards, or any other such decorations that match the theme of your party, to creatively demarcate the entrance of your tent. If you are considering adding a dramatic entrance to your party, our classic plus tent is a great choice. This sturdy tent comes with anchoring features and double reinforced straps and buckles. You can add decorative elements of your choosing on any side of the tent to create an unforgettable entrance. You can also expand the size of your tent to make it a 40 x 100 frame tent, or any other bigger or smaller size.

Decorating

Rental vs. Purchase

Deciding whether to purchase or rent your event tent can depend on several factors, including frequency of use, budget, and storage capabilities.

Benefits of Renting

  1. Affordability: Renting might be more economical if you host a one-off event or occasional gatherings.
  2. Storage: Event tents can take up significant space. If you lack adequate storage options, renting eliminates this concern.
  3. Variety: Rental services often have various types and styles of tents. You can choose a different tent for each occasion, ensuring your events look fresh and exciting.

Benefits of Purchasing

  1. Long-term Investment: If you frequently host events, purchasing a tent can save you money in the long run.
  2. Customization: Owning your tent lets you personalize it according to your style preferences.
  3. Immediate Availability: When you own a tent, you don’t have to worry about availability conflicts during peak seasons.

Flooring Choices

Depending on the nature of your event, adding flooring can elevate both the aesthetic and functionality of the tent. Options range from simple grass mats to more sophisticated, elegant flooring solutions like wood or vinyl. This adds comfort and reduces the chances of muddy shoes ruining the event.

Lighting Options

Proper lighting can create an inviting ambiance when hosting an evening event. You can incorporate string lights, chandeliers, or LED uplights within your tent to enhance the mood and keep your guests comfortable.

Tent Sidewalls and Entryways

Sidewalls can protect your guests from the elements if it’s a breezy evening or there’s a chance of rain. They also allow for added privacy and help create a more enclosed atmosphere. Think about entryways as well—these can be designed for easy access and even serve as a decorative point.
