I am having my wedding and reception at my home in Central California. Late July of this next year. I have priced tents and they are nearly a grand a piece and WAY out of my budget. The yard where we plan on having it (as well as a large drive way and cemented area) has alot of trees and structure surrounding it, but at this time of year, it will be hot, and shade will be necessary as it doesnt get dark until late. Someone suggested to be, that I get a huge parachute from a surplus store and hang it up, which is doable. But I am hoping they dont come in some obnoxious color and are affordable. Does anyone else have any experience with this, or a suggestion as to what to use, so that I might cover my guests affordably and be able to decorate it (I plan on using paper lanterns and white Christmas lights.)HELP!! haha
