Hi everybody.

I am having a bit of a blank when it comes to making a decision. Been to see the venue today and the marquee there needs to be decorated. it has 8 sides, 6 with windows and 2 doors. the buffet will be in there but only tables for the food. very informal. i was hoping to do a shabby chic/cath kidston type design but am unsure.

help please

    Oh thanks so much. After much thought and a trip to abakhan i now have stupids amount of ribbon and net to hide all of the poles and make swags. small posies of flowers and willow hearts to decoratte. would have loved fairy lights but as our wedding ends before it goes dark there is not much point.

    For fabric try your local market - mine gave me 10% off when I said it was for my wedding. Also charity shops sell cheep bit of fabric or old clothes you can cut up. Or ask friends if they have some pieces of fabric/tablecloths etc that you can have. Lots of people keep stuff like this in their loft or spare room just in case...

    I had a marquee wedding and kept everything very simple, With the exception to the stuff I created and made.

    Here are a few photos from our wedding photos to show you how we decorated the marquee.

    Our marquee from full view, although you can't see, my Dad make some Huge pots of flowers for the entrance to the marquee

    Our layout of table inside. We had plain ivory table linen and napkins. Tall centrepeices.

    My homemade napkin rings, favour boxes and name backs for the chairs:

    We also had a star light celing over the dance for, and looked amazing on the evening time:
