What do you think of these options? Other ideas?

We're having our wedding at a vineyard, and the reception area will be tented. We want to cover the inside of the tent so we don't see all the beams.

One option is a traditional white tent liner - basically draped fabric.

Our florist gave us another option of using weeping willow branches (that will be in bloom at the time of our wedding) to go up the 4 corner poles and spread out to cover the inside top of the tent, along with some draped fabric.

I think i like the second option, it's a little more different and brings the nature feel of the reception location into the tent....but I can't picture it and the florist didn't have any pictures on hand. I have total faith in our florist - they're fabulous and very creative....but I would like to see what this looks like to get a general idea...

Does anyone have any pictures or other ideas of decorating the inside of a reception tent?

We just spoke to the florist again, and he said we could also do hanging candles in the tent - I love it! That and the willow branches to cover the beams, and maybe some draped fabric to soften it all up!

we are having a tented reception. Here are some pics I have, they may or may not be helpful....

Those pix are great...keep the ideas coming!

Thankfully, the only poles our tent has are the outside corners - nothing in the middle - but there are beams in the ceiling that we will be covering.

Thanks!
