Hello friends! It’s Lauren from I Love Love Events back again. This time I’m sharing some great ideas that come from a lesson I learned the hard way. I know that every couple pictures their wedding day filled with sunshine, a slight breeze and about 75 degrees, but as a wedding planner, I know that you have to prepare for the opposite of that. Rain can strike at any moment. It could be 90 degrees in May. It might be so dry that there is a freak dust storm. These are all reasons to plan for the unexpected and cover yourself metaphorically and physically with a tent. I know, it’s the last thing you want to spend your money on. I went through it with my own wedding. But, the silver lining is that your tent doesn’t have to be boring. It doesn’t have to be unsightly. In fact, it can be a stunning focal point for your wedding decor. Below I’m sharing 15 amazing ideas for how to make your ordinary wedding tent, extraordinary!
