Hi all, I'd love some input because I'm scratching my head a bit and it's surprisingly hard to find stuff on Pinterest! My venue has a tented patio for the ceremony adjoining the ballroom that transitions perfectly, so we're going to use it. The pics above are snagged from their online gallery, and a (low quality) yelp photo. They have the walls that can be dropped down and the gathered material at the poles. We'll be using the white chairs provided as well, same setup as the first pic.
I'm just not in love with the way the tent backdrop looks. I don't really want the background of photos from the ceremony to be open to the street (as shown by the car parked in the last pic), but a plain tent wall with the faux windows just doesn't look great to me. I'll make it work no matter what, but I'm at a loss of what I can do to make it look a little more elegant and cover the background where we'll stand.
We were thinking of draping the entire back end with fabrics matching the theme colors in pink, purple, and green, and having a decorative pedestal with a large silver floral vase. I just worry a fabric wall might look out of place and pop out too much, and an arch under a tent strikes me as a bit redundant and out of place. Has anyone else ever had experience with 'disguising' a tent wall/background for lack of better terms? What did you do, and what would you recommend?
