Host: Come rain or shine a tent gives you shelter and can still bring in the ambiance of nature. Linda Howard: Tents are magical. There are so many beautiful clear tents—tents that allow you to see the stars sparkling up above in the sky. We could pull back the sides of the tents and you’d see the foliage surrounding the tent. Host: But those of you looking for more refined and finished look in a natural setting, draping is essential. Noel Pearce: It’s all about the atmosphere. You want your guest to come in and you want them to feel comfortable. You want them to feel in the mood. You want to get across your special night your special date. You can do that with drapes. Host: But with new innovations a bride could choose to forego draping and use the tent literally as blank canvass that can either be printed or projected on. Lonnie Egelston: The newest thing is the custom colored v-line treatment. We've got an exclusive two custom design whatever print you want.
