Furniture Hire for a Marquee Wedding- Geelong | Mornington | Ballarat | Gippsland

May 15, 2018

There is no doubt that the marquee wedding is all the range at the moment, there is nothing better than getting married in your favourite spot,  celebrating in an intimate ceremony and having a fantastic private party afterwards. Marquee weddings allow couples to achieve this and marquees also give abundant space for decoration, furniture and styling. This is all positive of course but many brides and grooms get a bit stuck filling these large marquees and creating the ultimate styling package.

We suggest at Elderberry Event hire to start with a theme – what do you want your wedding to look like?, what do you admire? and what type of décor are you drawn to? Ask yourself these questions then start looking at the larger furniture hire in the genre of your choice. At Elderberry Event Hire we stock a variety of furniture with our marquee packages.  We have three key styles  rustic, contemporary and bohemian that we often “tweek” a bit to create a little more edge or something that our client is specifically asked for . Here are some of our suggestions for furniture options to create the desired theme;

  1. Rustic Wedding Hire Theme;

For sit down dining add in our trestle tables with our oak crossback chairs, throw in some wine barrels with our rustic stools to create a more man friendly area for the blokes to drink beer and hang. All parties need a central point where everyone meets to dance create this with our wood veneer dancefloor for hire and our rustic round bar. Get some festoons and rustic round posts overhead and your marquee space has got all the major components it needs to have a fantastic wedding. For cakes and feature tables utilise wine barrels mixed with table tops.

2. Contemporary/Modern Wedding Hire Theme

For the modern couples out there, we have gold bertoia dining chairs which give the trestle tables which are real modern option. Add in some hairpin bar tables and white crossback stools to create a clean white look. For a modern classic style remove the gold metallic chairs and use white bentwood dining chairs instead. the crisp white elements in the furniture are complemented by the white sailcloth of the marquee. The dancefloor is also essential to create the central area within the marquee wedding as everyone likes a dance at a wedding.

3. Bohemian Wedding Hire Theme

When we think of bohemian as a style we thing of texture, pattern and more alternative pieces. Lounge seating is a fantastic place to start when creating a bohemian theme within a marquee tent wedding. Peacock chairs, cane lounge seating with assorted cushions and vintage velvet lounges are perfect for this style. Theme these with bench seating, trestle tables and wine barrels and you have a fantastic starting point to create the relaxed bohemian wedding style.
