Your Devon & Cornwall Wedding - May/June 2019 (Issue 19)

28 THE CORNISH TENT CO (HIRE THROUGHOUT CORNWALL AND THE SOUTH WEST) The authentic Californian sailcloth marquees and tipis that can be hired from The Cornish Tent Co make picturesque structures for receptions and the wedding breakfast. Inspired by the sea, the four sizes of waterproof sailcloth marquees available are crafted from sail fabric complementing any setting, and seat between 20 and 211 guests. They have clear side panels and all of the walls and windows can be rolled up or down, depending on the weather. The icing on the cake is the flag at the top of each peak that can be in a choice of colours to match the wedding, or feature a couple’s own design. The tipis are made using Scandinavian timber with a light-coloured canvas that create a stunning structure. The Giant Hat tipis each seat up to 72 guests, and multiple ones can be linked together to host large celebrations of up to 1000 people. Because they are built to withstand extreme climates, they are ideal for weddings in all seasons. For a winter wedding, a firepit, entrance porch with wooden doors and a rustic fireplace inside will create a cosy atmosphere. During the summer months, the sides can be lifted allowing guests to enjoy the outdoor surroundings. They look super stylish when furnished with sheepskin rugs and fairylights.
