For those who got it, was it worth the money? We are only expecting 40 guests...so it's not too much...but it's still a splurge!! FI and I are trying to decide whether we should go ahead with them or forego the whole thing and just settle for a white tent!  TIA!!

    They are so gorgeous!  I think it's totally worth it--I'm hoping that we have less people than we're budgeting for so I can use the extra money for the canopies.  So, if it were me and I had the $$, I would definitely splurge.  :)

    For us, it was totally worth the money. I totally wanted our guests to experience the canopies, especially since most of them traveled so far for us. They were blown away by the whole setup.

    I would definitely do canopies if I had a smaller guest list. 40 is just about right. I think it's worth it!

    I'm in the EXACT same predicament.  The thing about dining canopies is that you can't just do dining canopy rentals.  Most of the places that offer them have a floral exclusivity clause with minimum orders.. I'm in the process of working with Yvonne Florals .. We're considering scaling back on the tent and doing open-air dinner area, but have 2 dining canopies over lounge areas instead.  Wwe're trying to see what we can get for florals/dining canopies within $3K - $4K.. If we can't, we might go back to the drawing board and either scrap the idea altogether, or bite the bullet and increase our budget. Good luck with your decision! Let us know what you end up doing!
