Come with us and explore how our wonderful white wedding marquees will make the perfect addition to your stunning South West wedding in 2019.
Devon Wedding Marquees
There is no doubt about it, Devon is an absolute gem in the heart of the South West. As well as housing Dartmoor, an established Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s also known for its stunning coastal scenery, both north and south of the county. Whatever Devon wedding venue you choose, whether country or coastal, you are going to be in for a real treat.
Luckily, our Devon wedding marquees can provide an extra element of luxury that you may never knew possible. We have constructed marquees on the grounds of beautiful wedding venues in Devon, as well as private land overlooking lakes and rivers to host the reception party. Due to our marquees having optional, open-sided canopies, such as our Savannah marquee package, you and your guests will be able to take advantage of the stunning panoramic views from sunrise to dusk. Regardless of the location, our Devon marquee hire allows you to extend your special day celebrations well into the night, and even the remainder of the weekend!
Wedding Marquee Hire in Cornwall
To the West of the Devonshire border is the charming county of Cornwall. From Penzance up to Looe, every part of the rugged landscape offers picturesque views for miles to see. That’s why The Beautiful Tent Company offers exceptional tents for weddings in Cornwall to utilise the gorgeous coastal backdrops.
If you choose our India package, you can expect a stylish and chic entertainment space, which is available at your disposal. From fine dining experiences to creating the floor space to throw your best Michael Jackson impressions, the India Tent is the perfect marquee for your Cornwall wedding.
Somerset Marquee Hire
Our South West marquee hire services extend to the diverse county of Somerset. With the Mendip and Quantock Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, as well as Exmoor National Park, there’s plenty of stunning landscape to hold your Somerset wedding marquee reception!

]]>However, engaged individuals are now deciding to take matters into their own hands. With the rise of DIY weddings becoming the latest marital fashion, there are so many reasons why you should also consider creating your very own wedding day. Take a look below to see how you can transform your perfect day into something spectacular and truly personal with our luxury marquee packages.
Personal and unique wedding preparations
The most stand-out feature when it comes to planning your DIY wedding is that is completely personal and unique to you and your partner, meaning you don’t have to go on the basis of anyone else’s wedding model. When your guests see the beauty of a DIY wedding, they will know why you chose to do it your way!
For example, if you wanted to hold your ceremony and celebrations in a converted barn with trapeze artists and acrobatic artists swinging from a beautiful wedding tent – then you can make it happen! Nothing is too big or too small, so go with your heart and prepare a wedding which is going to leave lasting memories for you, your friends and family.
Celebrations as big or as small as you like
With a DIY wedding, you get to choose the location, lighting, music and most importantly the theme. With so many turning towards a more nature/bohemian inspired feel with stunning wedding tents for hire, such as the India marquee package, you can create a wedding celebration which can stretch to your budget.
Sourcing and creating your own wedding favours, lighting solutions, and celebrational food and drink really doesn’t have to be hard. There are many wedding blogs on the internet, such as Rock My Wedding, which highlight the beauty of DIY weddings and how easy it can be to have your very own.
You can still make it traditional!
Just because you are planning and preparing your own wedding, it doesn’t mean you can’t include traditional twists here and there. The Beautiful Tent Company are able to give a helping hand if you would like to have people seated together for the reception or even affordable outdoor flooring for your guests to congregate. Our range of bespoke and tailored wedding services also include:
- Lighting and outdoor firepits
- Tableware & cutlery
- Glassware and chandeliers
- Generators and heaters

]]>Our team is on hand to go one step further on your wedding day or weekend. From roaring fire pits to fairy lighting, chair and table hire, outdoor dance floors and chill out zones. We create something unique for you. Something so beautiful that it will leave your guests in awe.
We specialise in weddings, but have also worked some high profile events for the likes of Kirstie’s Vintage Home on Channel 4, T4 on the beach for Claire’s Accessories rebranding launch and a very high profile models wedding!
Lighting
From chandeliers to fairy lights, our lighting options really do light up any wedding marquee to create an idyllic backdrop. We have numerous lighting products that can be placed around the tent, with safe and secure fittings.
Furthermore, if you are looking to implement an area for your guests where they can kick back and relax after the day’s celebrations, our outdoor lighting solutions create a romantic and comforting ambiance for family and friends to enjoy.
Flooring
No wedding is complete without a dance floor for guests to enjoy the music until the early hours of the morning! The Beautiful Tent Company supply safe flooring for indoor and outdoor purposes, whatever the size. If you require carpeted areas or alternative flooring which is not normally associated with weddings but will complete your wedding theme, speak to our helpful staff who will always look to go “above and beyond” for your individual requirements.
Our personalisation services are sourced from third-party suppliers, so regardless of how unique your wedding preparations and needs are, we will always try our best to locate them in the South West or beyond.

Colour schemes
- All white on the night – A winter wedding in synonymous with a white colour scheme and minimal pastel colours. Tinges of gold, silver and bronze are also subtle seasonal shimmers which can be added to table settings, flower arrangements and decoration ideas. These additions will capture the eyes of your guests and will be a perfect backdrop for your white winter wedding photos.
- Beautifully bohemian
Comfort, cosiness and a warmth. Just some of the connotations that come with winter can all be transferred into a winter wedding colour scheme. Bohemian wedding themes are a fantastic way to capture the essence of Christmas, with deep browns, golds and rustic elements throughout the day. The Savannah marquee package offers the space and bohemian ‘feel’, with the option to add accessories and lighting to suit the overall scheme.
Winter wedding decor
- Luminous lighting
Regardless of the date of your wedding, lighting is crucial in creating a beautiful atmosphere from day to night. Look out for warm hues and different colours of lighting which can be found with wedding fairy lights and lampshades hung above the dinner tables and dance floor. Candles are a fantastic option in open spaces and outdoor winter weddings, but be sure to get the permission of the venue host beforehand.
- Consider the cold
Winter weddings make way for winter temperatures, so making sure your guests are warm is a priority! Providing blankets throughout the day will make them feel a lot more comfortable and willing to fully embrace the celebrations! For outdoor spaces, consider heat lamps or fire pits if allowed, these are great places for guests to gather throughout the day and well into the evening.
Food & drink
Winter is the perfect time to tuck into some of your favourite food and beverages with friends and family, and this shouldn’t stop at your winter wedding. Favourites may include mulled wine, hog roasts and fruity cakes and deserts, often laced with plenty of alcohol!
Having a range of hearty winter warmers is a great way to celebrate your special day and incorporating seasonal favourites at the same time. Speak to your venue chef or specialist food and drink caterers to see what options they can provide.
The Beautiful Tent Company for your winter wedding
From Spring through to Winter, The Beautiful Tent Company can provide you with luxury marquees in Devon and Cornwall for your wedding. With a range of accessories available to hire, we can make your special day come to life, so make sure you contact our team today!
]]>Congratulations!
Firstly, congratulations on your engagement from the team at The Beautiful Tent Company! You may have already discussed where and how you would like to celebrate the big day and making your wedding day unique. Fear not, take a look at our easy to follow month-by-month countdown wedding checklist below.
Twelve months, or more, before the wedding:
The big countdown has begun, but where do you start?
- Calculate a wedding budget.
- Where and when are you going to celebrate the day? Try and book the venue as soon as possible.
- Hire a wedding planner if you feel the stress may be a little too much.
- Prepare draft guest list and who you’d like to be as bridesmaids/best man.
- Start looking into wedding dress / flower / food / travel/ marquee suppliers in Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.
- Send out “save the date” invitations.
Six months before:
It may seem like a lifetime away, but the big day will come around very, very quickly. If you haven’t already tick these to-do’s off of your list:
- Confirm guest list and send out wedding invitations.
- Secure wedding dress and groomsmen suits.
- Book wedding photo/videographer/DJ or band.
- Book transport to and from the wedding venue (if needed)
- Enquire for wedding make-up artists and hairdresser for the bridal party.
- The hen-do and stag-dos. Sometimes it is best to hold either or both a couple of months before the wedding day to be sure that it isn’t a reenactment of the Hangover!
Three months before:
It’s not long until the best day of both yours and your partner’s life! The nerves may be starting to kick in, but take deep breaths – it’s going to be a wonderful 24 hours.
- Your ‘walking down the aisle song’ and first dance routine. Have you chosen your perfect first dance song?
- Order table decorations/start making your homemade favours.
- Agree and finalise wedding flowers and catering proposals.
- Suit fittings for the groomsmen to make any adjustments.
- Choose and buy your wedding rings.
- Decide on vows/readings to be said on the day.
- Buy a personalised guest book (or other way for the guests to state their congratulations).
A month to two weeks before:
You have the all-important things ticked off, now to focus on the intricate details:
- Choose the perfume and jewellery you will wear – have you decided on the bridesmaids/groomsmen accessories?
- Confirm all bookings and timings with your wedding suppliers.
- Arrange final dress and suit fittings.
- Contact any guests who haven’t responded to invitations.
- Use social media to confirm travel and accomodation for the day/weekend for your guests.
- Go through emergency and safety procedures with your wedding venue.
The day before:
Pamper, relax and enjoy with your best friends, you certainly deserve it!
- Give rings to the best man
- Lay out the bridal/grooms party individual wedding outfits and accessories so you can double check that you have everything you need for the morning.
- Make contact with your wedding planner (if you have one) to make sure everything is in place.
- Drop off decorations /table plans and favours at the venue.
- Finally, and most importantly, relax. Have a massage, pedicure or facial to release stress and tension. Why not have a glass or two of champagne to really unwind!
Your wedding day is here!
This is the best day of your life, so go and enjoy every single second of one of the many days you will spend together as a married couple. Just make sure to eat breakfast, regardless of your nerves you don’t want to be fainting at the altar, as it will be a long day.
Beautiful marquees for your perfect day
There’s certainly no right way of planning a wedding as every couple will have their own intentions and dreams on the big day and that’s why we know at the The Beautiful Tent Company that creating a wedding checklist which is unique to you and your partner is important. All our services are bespoke and tailor made for your perfect day.
If you would like more information about marquee hire in Devon, contact our team today who will be more than happy to help ease some of your stress.

The British fall in love with their favourites
In a recent survey conducted by the Evening Standard, ahead of the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex earlier this year, the British public revealed their favourite wedding songs.
When it came to the first dance in particular, Elvis Presley’s ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love With You’ came out on top and over 69 percent of the nation agreed that couples who listen to music together, stay together.
Individuals also chose the hit ‘(Everything I do) I do It For You’ by Bryan Adams as a firm favourite, as well as Eric Clapton’s ‘Wonderful Tonight’. This proves that the old ones are still the best ones when it comes to all time first dance favourites, with modern melodies still in the running to take stop spots on the big day.
As for this, we’ve tailored a playlist to suit every wedding theme with our take on all time favourite dance songs for the perfect love story below:
Old yet gold!
It has to be said, Elton John produced and performed some of the most memorable love songs of the 20th Century – ‘Your Song’ has been covered by the likes of Ellie Goulding and continues to remain a popular choice. Other hits such as: ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’, ‘The One’ and ‘Tiny Dancer’ are also favourites at the reception, marking the start of a lifetime of love and happiness.
Regardless of where your reception is to be held, whether it be in a luxury wedding marquee or a lavish manor house, your first dance will be remembered forever and captured for all to see. As the survey mentioned, half of the British public “confirmed the songs they chose for their first dance made their big day feel more special.”
A modern day love story
Fast-forwarding to the 21st century, modern day first dance routines incorporate a mashup of songs and dance moves. Viral videos such as the one below are circulating the internet with couples performing the most creative choreography:
We can’t wait to see what the future holds when it comes to performing your first dance!
The Beautiful Tent Company
We facilitate weddings celebrations with beautiful tents for weddings, as well as marquees and extras that you may need for the big day. Our unique designs allow you to enjoy your day and first dance with plenty of space.
If you want to learn more about a marquee wedding, call or email today for more information, we’d love to chat with you about the direction of your big day.
We provide your outdoor wedding space with elegance and charm.

When it comes to weddings too often we assume everything must be expensive and also outsourced. Of course, there are certain things that must be outsourced, like our wonderful marquees, but not all must be. We’re going to run through how you can decorate your tables on a budget, making your wedding a more personable experience, too. A win-win, in reality.
First of All, You Always Need Consistency
No matter how much you’re spending, if you want your tables to look beautiful you need consistency. Yes, sometimes inconsistency can be the consistency. Something we know will sound like a horror movie to most brides-to-be. But it is a cost-effective way to adorn tables and is something that, and we really mean this, will not look bad at all. At previous weddings we’ve seen each table centrepiece been a different style vase with flowers in them. But for those who would like consistency, here are some cost-effective ideas:
Vintage Bird Cages
Vintage bird cages are inexpensive and have an undeniably charming, rustic look to them. They’re a great option for your centrepiece! You buy a few off Amazon for cheap, or even better, go and find unique ones you or family may have lying around. Not only does that add character, it’s free, too.
These look great empty. However, if you’d perhaps a wider variety of colour on your tables you can fill them whatever you like. We’ve seen people fill these cages with their favourite flowers, some have even filled them with lemons and limes. It sounds odd, but it looked great!
Mason Jars
It may sound silly, but mason jars really are a canvas for creativity. And, a big positive, they’re incredibly cheap to buy in bulk. Just how would mason jars, in any world, look good as a wedding table centrepiece? A good question. You can do many, many things with mason jars, like for example, fill them with fairy lights. That makes the table look very angelic. Or, you can fill them up with water and have floating candles in them. As the day turns to night it looks very beautiful. These are just two suggestions, have a look at this Pinterest board for more!
Get Creative With Recycling
Sometimes the best thing to do is just spend some time thinking about how you can use what you already have. We’ve seen tables adorned with the bride and groom’s favourite wine and beer bottles (empty and filled with flowers, of course). We’ve also seen couples place their favourite wine glasses upside down and put candles on top. We know, it sounds weird, but it looked beautiful! So, as we said, don’t be afraid to get creative!
The Beautiful Tent Company – Wedding Tables on a Diet
If you have a marquee like one of ours, you can really get creative with your wedding as all the rules go out the window! You get to create a wedding of your own, rich with your personality. If you’d like that, give us a call and get yours booked!
]]>Instagram is the go-to spot for many things now. Some use it for cooking inspiration and others for gym motivation. But did you know there’s a multitude of wedding accounts just waiting to inspire you? Here are our favourites.
@APracticalWedding
A practical wedding are great because they adopt a very informal approach to their online presence. As we’re sure you know, wedding magazines are often solemn and nothing else. Whilst this is helpful, it can be intimidating at times. As such, it’s nice to have a source of inspiration that at the core just wants you to have a fun-filled day – like those had in our Devon marquees. Certainly an account we recommend following.

Cake inspiration is as important as anything! And once again, very often all we see a traditional type, which is often what people but want. However, it isn’t for everyone. Some want something different. And if you’re one of those types, this is the account for you! CakeBloom post a whole variety of cakes, each one as delectable as the last.
