How to Decorate a Marquee for a Wedding

Marquees can transform a simple ceremony into a more elegant affair, with the ability to enhance a romantic setting with the slight hint of softness from the glowing, multi-coloured lanterns. This trait is most commonly seen in wedding marquees. However, over the years, the trend of using marquees for wedding receptions have become substantially more common. While it's cost-effective, it only meant an oversaturation in the usage of marquees. For this reason, designers have used different designs for their marquees to stand out.

This article will teach you how to decorate a marquee for a wedding. Read on below to get started.

Flooring

When choosing the flooring for your marquee, the most practical option would be carpeting. However, to make your marquee stand out from the rest, you can select from various types of flooring. For example, you can use rustic planks or tiles if you plan to have a rustic-themed wedding. Alternatively, you could use wooden flooring or flooring with an oriental-inspired design. The marquee flooring should match the design theme of your wedding. In other words, if you're planning on having a fairy-tale-themed wedding, then choose the flooring that looks like it came from a fairytale.


Decorations

When planning your wedding marquee, you have to consider the different types of decoration that can be used. The primary factor to consider is the wedding theme. Additionally, you have to consider the space that you have for your marquee. With that said, you have to choose the decorations that fit the tent and have proper use of space. It doesn't matter if you're only using one of the marquee sides because you should decorate it with items that can fit.

Some of the most common decorations used in marquees are flowers. If you're planning on using red and pink flowers, you can use them to fill in the space between the walls of your marquee. Alternatively, you could use them to fill in the area around the centre of your marquee. If you're planning on using flowers in the centre of your marquee, you could emphasise the centre by creating a flower archway.

Aside from flowers, you could place small metal stars or orbs around the marquee. You can also use other ornaments and ornaments around the marquee. You could even use papier-mache designs or small trees near the centre of the marquee to add to the theme of your wedding.

Lighting

One of the most critical elements to consider when planning the design of your marquee is lighting. You have to choose the proper lighting based on the design theme of your marquee. For example, if you're planning on having a romantic-themed wedding, you should choose lighting that can create a warm and romantic ambience. You could place tea lights in the centre of your wedding marquee. Alternatively, you could put a spotlight to highlight the centre of your marquee.

To make your marquee stand out, you can use lighting accessories and ornamental lighting to give it a more dramatic effect. While you don't want to create a dramatic ambience for your wedding, you can use lighting to highlight the centre of your marquee. By doing so, you'll be able to emphasise the centre of the marquee and create a particular area for the bride and groom.

Partitioning the Marquee

Marquees can either be partitioned or non-partitioned. A non-partitioned marquee can be a hard wall used to divide the marquee into different areas. Alternatively, you could use partitions to separate the marquee into other regions. With that said, you can use any partitioning system that you want.

For example, you can place a partition to separate the bride's section from the groom's section. You could use it to divide the marquee into smaller areas so that each part has a more intimate feel. Partitions could also separate other marquee parts, such as the bar and the food area.

Conclusion

Overall, you have to choose the right decoration for your marquee based on the theme of your wedding and the space you have. If you're planning a romantic-themed wedding, then you should take your time and choose the right decorations to accentuate the ambience of your wedding.
