Tent/Aisle Decor

I bit the bullet and put a deposit down on a tent for our June 2 wedding,  We'd decided to do it outdoors and even though we could've moved it inside the reception hall if it rained, everything would have been cramped and just ruined, in my eyes.

Now---I have a tent... with chairs... and that's it... Do we need to get some of those paper lanterns or something to decorate the tent a bit? (And if so, where can I get them for cheap!?)

Also--I was thinking I would use rose petals on the grass to create an aisle -- but freeze dried petals are almost as expensive as real ones and definitely not as budget friendly as silk ones.  Any alternate ideas on how to create an aisle??

    Good for you for renting a tent as a backup plan :)

    You can purchase paper lanterns at Oriental Trading for pretty cheap

    For the aisle, go for the budget friendly silk flowers...no one will know the difference in the long run anyways.

    Have you asked the company that you rented your tent from what ideas or suggestions they may have to decorate your tent?  I know I have seen a lot of brides drape tulle throughout so it doesn't look so bland and adds some "fluff" to the overall theme of things.

    I'm not sure of the time for your wedding, but my best friend and MOH used the clear christmas lights around the perimeter of her tent.  It looked amazing in her pics after sunset!

    For petals, I'd probably just buy some roses and pick off the petals for use. It's more "environmentally friendly" and probably doesn't have to be picked up. Buy a dozen roses in a color you like at the store and use that.

    As for decorations, depending on how late your reception is, you could get Xmas light strings, paper lanterns, or whatever you want. A lot of this stuff will not be necessary if you have sufficient light from candles on your tables.
