For a recent wedding in Nantucket the reception was held in a beautiful tent erected close to the beach. The theme was “Great Gatsby” by the sea. Dove gray is the hottest color going this season and so of course we used it to drape the ceiling of the tent.
Getting the scaffolding into position for the work to begin.
Grey chiffon blowing in the sea breezes.
Our guys work their way along the ceiling of the tent to secure the fabric. Not only does the draping add a soft romantic look but it is a great way to hide seams and hardware that may distract from the design.
The same fabric is used to wrap the wooden poles that support the tent.
First the floor gets built, carpeting goes down then the drapers go in. Once that is done-the rest of the work can begin.
Nick & Mohammad bring the draping down the sides to form a curtain that will capture the breeze and reinforce the romantic, dreamy feel of the evening.

Any pictures of the centerpieces? Looks like the materials were on the floor of the tent….I’m planning a wedding and trying to do a natural, clean, modern take on the branch centerpiece idea…thought maybe you did something along those lines.
Any help would be great! Desperate in Detroit :)
