Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - November/December 2019 (Issue 22)

How to style these firm favourites The magic of marquees, tipis and tents Barny Lee Marquees, 01392 590 032, barnyleemarquees.co.uk barny.lee Barny Lee Marquees located in Exeter, Devon, shows how these wonderful structures not only look great but are also very flexible. Round wooden tables offer a more social set up and look fantastic decorated with tall floral centrepieces that contrast with the high draped ceilings. Chandeliers suspended from the tallest point of these drapes add atmospheric lighting, as do vintage-style light bulbs arranged at different lengths. These look really good decorating a rustic-inspired wooden bar. It’s important to think about dressing the entrance to the marquee and potted trees and plants placed either side of the opening always look effective. Where to hire them M arquees, stretch tents, tipis and yurts are more popular than ever. Gone are the days of the standard marquee structure, as they now come complete with reveal curtains, elegant draping and scope for statement styling. We spoke to suppliers in Devon and Cornwall to find out where to hire them from and how to style them.
