We ask Lucy Brooker from Seventh Heaven Events how to style a marquee: Image 1

"A marquee is a blank canvas which enables you to create a truly personalised look. Create the wow factor with a statement decorative piece, such as a floral arch behind the top table or a showstopping crystal chandelier suspended from a high apex.

“Lighting is key. Create the right ambience with romantic candles on the tables, up-lighters around the walls and a magical canopy of fairylights suspended above the dancefloor.

“Decorate the venue with flowers and greenery intertwined with fairylights.

“Don’t forget the outside too! Create candlelit pathways or festoon lighting around the seating areas.

“Add a little interest by opting for alternative high and low style centrepieces.

"Create zones within the marquee to prevent there being too much open space. The use of pillars is a great way of separating areas.

“Opt for tables and chairs which complement your theme. Decorative Chiavari or clear chairs will add a sense of elegance, while long wooden tables and picnic-style benches will give a more rustic feel.

“Make the entrance to the marquee visually appealing. A walkway lined with fairy-lit topiary trees or lanterns is a great way to entice your guests in.

“If space and budget permits create a chill-out area. Choose from contemporary low-level white cube furniture, luxury leather Chesterfield-style sofas or Moroccan floor cushions.”
