Tent Temptation

The season for tented weddings in Houston may be limited. But the options for tented weddings are without bounds. Whether you opt for the pristine, blank-slate whiteness of a classic frame or tension tent (the perfect surface for spectacular lighting, draping and floral effects), or the inimitable charms of an exquisitely printed or patterned structure (like French-inspired tents from Houston's Jacqueline Chapelle), a tent lets you create a reception space that is fantastically, entirely your own. Tempted by tents, but can't accommodate your crowd for the main event? Consider a tented rehearsal dinner—a lovely way to gather your nearest and dearest under one (temporary) roof for an intimate evening of almost-al-fresco celebration.
