Setting up a big white tent in your back yard is impressive all in it self.  Whatever the occasion is, it must be pretty special.  Depending on the event and the size of the event, you can have a flooring put down or you can go for the natural grass that is already there.  Either way, you can decorate the tent to make it even more beautiful and impressive than it already is with a few decorating ideas.

First, go for a color scheme and stick to it.  If this party if for your daughter’s Sweet 16 and her favorite colors are pink and orange, then use those colors throughout the entire party.  For example, go for pink tablecloths, orange napkins, pink and orange flowers, and possibly some signature appetizers and drinks in those pretty colors.  Adding some color under the white tent will make a beautiful first impression for guests as they walk in.

Second, add lots and lots of lights.  You can hang twinkle lights around the top inside of the tent and around surrounding trees and bushes.  Get a bunch of battery operated candles and spread them throughout the guest tables and food/beverage tables.  Maybe get some pink and orange paper lanterns and hang them throughout the area.  As it gets darker outside, the added twinkle lights and candles will add an ambiance that you can’t get from standard lights.  Soon, your tent will be twinkling and shining light on your beautiful pink and orange décor.

Lastly, use common household items such as mason jars to add a little bit of back yard charm to your party.  You can put the battery operated tea candles in the jars and the lights will create a pretty effect, as it gets casted through the glass jar.  You can also use the mason jars for vases for your flowers.  Another idea is to use come up with a pretty pink signature drink, such as pink lemonade. Use the mason jars as drink ware with an orange slice on the side, a spring of mint, and an orange and white striped straw.  This pretty pink and orange drink will add a lasting impression on guests young and old.
