Marquee - How are you dressing yours??

The only problem with height at the table is people can't see each other. I think the birdcage idea is lovely and prob cheaper than flowers. But that all depends on what flowers you pick I suppose. Mine were first quoted at £44 per table but I just talked them down (cheaper flowers, more green filler) now they are £24 with 6 tables to do.

We had a issue as we are having big round table in the marquee with a watering can with flowers in it. Needed more color so I am making paper pom poms to put in jars to place around these. Quite a vintage homemade feel to it.

Have you tried googling to ideas you have and seeing if any pics show up?

My venue said to me height looks better, but then said in the summer months they like all the sides of the marquee open so I would have to have very heavy vases in case they knock over. It all seemed to cost more to have height. We are doing our centrepieces ourselves. We have bought strong wicker baskets from Ikea (£4) and in each one, am putting four potted plants. Then the girls on that table each takes one home at the end of the night. There isnt much height. I dont think any marquee will look bare one all the guests are in there. Google some marquee pics. I think the lower table displays actually look nicer.

HTH

We are having loads and loads of bunting everywhere!!! Ivy up the poles in the middle and like others have said hoping for the sides to be up if nice day.

Our centre pieces are mismatch of teapots and the like from charity shops and car boots with herbs and lavender in!

We have lots of little lights everywhere and also downlighters the marquee company put in.

Like you say once all set up it will come together!

Oooh Enterflora HI DATE TWIN!!

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 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:
