From rustic chic to American country, barn weddings are a fun and versatile setting for your big day. Give your set-up the perfect accessory with a stretch tent. Not quite a tent but much more than a gazebo, custom stretch tents in the UK are charming, and elegant, and provide plenty of cover without closing your wedding off from the surrounding landscape.
If you’d love a stretch tent but aren’t exactly sure it’ll fit in at your barn wedding, we’ve put
together some tips to help you create the perfect canopy.
1. Choose the Right Size and Layout
When selecting a stretch tent for your barn wedding, size matters. Stretch tents come in a
variety of shapes and sizes, and it’s important to match your dimensions to the space you have, the number of guests you expect, and any must-haves you want beneath your tent. A little shelter from the sun, for example, might not be quite as large as a stretch tent to fit your dining tables and dance floor.
2. Opt for a Weatherproof Tent
While most custom stretch tents in the UK are weatherproof, it always pays to be vigilant. You need a tent that’s going to keep your guests dry and happy if it rains, and this is non-negotiable.
To avoid leaks, choose a reputable company that specifies its tents are 100% waterproof, like our range at Bell Tent Sussex. Each of our tents also comes with Qtents’ patented high-
frequency welded seams, ensuring they’re highly durable and won’t let a drop of water into your space.
3. Create a Flow With Your Barn Wedding
The beauty of barn weddings lies in their natural features – exposed beams, weathered wood, and rustic touches. A stretch tent can complement this look perfectly thanks to its simple aesthetic. As they don’t have sides, you can also create a seamless flow between your barn, your outdoor setting, and your stretch tent for a space that’s consciously cohesive.
4. Add Lighting and Décor for a Magical Ambience
Dress your custom stretch tent up with decor for a unique vibe. We highly recommend using lighting to add plenty of ambiance and transition your barn wedding from day to night, with soft fairy lights creating a magical setting or the possibility of a chandelier for a more luxurious aesthetic. Mix these lighting options with beautiful flowers, drapes, or rustic décor to turn your tent into a focal point, and transform your barn setting into a romantic scene that’s worthy of your wedding day.
