Creative Ways to Decorate your Marquee with Trees
Decorating your marquee tent into an inviting event space involves more than just selecting the right structure; it’s about creating an atmosphere that makes people feel comfortable and who want to spend time there.
When thinking about using flowers and foliage to decorate your tent structure, one of the most effective ways to achieve impact is by incorporating trees into your marquee decor. Trees provide so many of the stylistic elements you are so often looking to create with your decor such as bringing nature indoors, depth, texture and of course scale.
Trees bring a touch of the outdoors into your marquee. They improve mood, and if you choose the right variety can set the tone for your party setting. Whether romantic woodland or tropical palms or a Mediterranean olive grove, there is a style for all moods and seasons.
Some trees can be visually impactful and when placed correctly in the marquee can help accentuate the expansive height or draw attention to specific decor overhead.
Creative Ways to Decorate with Trees
- Marquee Entrance: Flank the marquee entrance with potted trees to create a grand and inviting gateway. This sets the tone for your event and offers a gentle transition from the outdoors to the interior space.
- Illuminated Foliage: Adorn trees with fairy lights or lanterns for atmospheric lighting as daylight fades.
- Functional Zoning: Arrange trees to break up the different areas within the marquee, such as dining spaces, dance floors, or chill out areas. This natural partitioning adds structure without the need for physical dividers.
- Natural trees are of course the best, and if you have an orchard in mind to have your event, we can work with the layout of the orchard by offering event cover over a run of apple trees/ olive trees/ and so on. Transparent apex tents work beautifully for this kind of event, where you have the protection of the tent whilst being able to enjoy the colours of the changing sky above.
- If you have a very specific aesthetic in mind that can not be matched by nature alone, we have worked with LED and artificial tree specialists Twilight Trees who have an amazing collection of magical trees for all sorts of styles and events.
At Marble Structures, we have a can-do approach to every project we take on and our team strive to make every vision a reality.
If you are considering an outdoor event, have a piece of land you think may work and are questioning what options are available, contact the team who can help assist with scale, minimum requirements and offer structure options based on your decor style, preferences and location.
