The following will give you some starting points, ideas and tips on getting the best Marquee Decorations for you celebrations.
From the Roof Tops…
Make use of the valuable ceiling height and space, the height of a marquee makes them perfect for hanging decorations. The choice of suspended decorations is endless, only the weight of an object will prevent it from being easily suspended.
Top Tip :- Use fishing wire to hang Marquee Decoration from, it is strong and barely visible.
Hanging Lanterns, Pom Poms and fans
Lanterns and Poms Poms come in all shapes and sizes, are light and can be Hand-made. Some can even be illuminated for added Marquee Decoration. You can hire a company to provide it all for you.

Flora and Fauna
In addition to our fairy lighting we can offer ivy swags to hang along the wires, a quick and easy way to add marquee decoration. Florist can also make real flower foliage to hang from the marquee ceiling.
Bring the outside in literally! We can incorporate you garden into the marquee by including flowerbeds and bushes into the marquee, or bring potted plants and patio pots inside as part of your marquee decoration.
Pole Dancing
The Capri Marquees have 5 – 8 internal poles, whilst they are absolutely not suitable for swinging from, they are perfect for winding marquee decoration around and taking your theme from floor to ceiling!
Table Decorations :-
Combine high and low arrangements to add interest and keep the taller displays thin so guests can still talk across the table.
Top Tip :- Hire in coloured table linen or runners, they come in all sorts of colours and you won’t need to wash them.
Props :-
Search the internet for a few key props to enhance your theme.
Top Tip :- If you are going for rustic / festival theme and want to include a fire pit as a chill out area, make sure it can be situated far enough away from the marquee.
Don’t forget the outside
Taking your theme outside the marquee will create interest and intrigue for your guests as they arrive, use lighting, props and decorations in and around the garden and trees.
