Rather than walking into a rented space and working with its preexisting architecture and design, "a tent is a blank canvas that sets the stage for the imagination to run wild," Steve Moore of Sinclair and Moore says. "You can create any world that you want within the walls of a tent. From adding chandeliers, hanging installations, walls, windows, doors, and floors that fit the aesthetic of the event to all of the tabletop textures, soft seating lounges, bars, and more."

"A tent eliminates the need to compete with challenging patterned carpet and off-colored walls of standard ballrooms, or any preexisting light fixtures, art, and structural components that can be difficult to design around. A tent also defines the perimeter of the space and creates boundaries that pulls guests into the celebration," Moore adds.

"If a client is looking for something timeless, classic, and formal, I might work with them on a tent that has a billowy liner on the ceiling that hides structural components," Moore says. "I might choose a clear-top tent if my client is drawn to a more modern look or if we want to showcase how beautiful the view around the property is. A sailcloth tent might be used for something that feels more organic and natural. I compare choosing a tent to choosing the kind of home you would consider purchasing. The tent style sets the tone for the decor design details to follow."
