Did you all  have a good weekend? Mine was busy, with a pot luck picnic and hosting a dinner party. I’ll have details to share later in the week.

But today I want to talk about this beautiful new trend with tents that I am seeing. For awhile tents were all the rage. Everyone having events used a tent. They were pretty and rain back up all in one! More recently, outdoor dining has been popular– a la a backyard event.  People who will risk the weather and the reward is worth it.  Now I am starting to see a melding of these trends– and the results are breathtaking! Take a look…

I didn’t think that weddings set in a vineyard could get any more beautiful, until I saw this draped tent. It provided the perfect bit of shade, without blocking the views.

And then I saw this event– I actually gasped out loud.  The draped tent. The chandelier. The lights. Oh my.

If this is the new direction of tents, I am definitely on board.
