Stunning Stretch Tent Wedding for Chris and Carine in Portnoo Co Donegal

Posted by under Ireland, Wedding Tents

It is every bridal couple’s worst nightmare: wind on the wedding day! Except Chris and Carine were prepared for the rugged and windy Irish coastline and we were able to create a unique and wind-free wedding thanks to their stretch tent from Tentickle Ireland.

Ireland is a beautiful country, rolling green hills, blue open skies (when we are lucky) and plenty of charming coastline. While our coasts might have a beauty that would drive a poet to tears, they can also be rugged and exceptionally windy and wet. Of course this doesn’t mean that you can’t have a perfect and picturesque wedding near the beach! Just ask Chris and Carine!

Stretch Tents bring the Arts to Life at Stendhal Festival, N.Ireland

Posted by under Events, Ireland

Stendhal is the ultimate colourful arts fest – a hippie haven if you will. The 2014 Stendhal festival took place on 8 and 9 August. Featuring everything from modern art and design, to aspiring and established musicians and theatre performances, it was a delight to the senses. Upon arriving at Stendhal, festival goers were welcomed by bright yellow sunflowers, and the colourful decor followed their every foot step with bright wall designs, flags and stretch tents adorned with psychedelic decorations. The event is always very family orientated but still retains a great balance of music and arts that attracts young and old alike.

Stretch Tents in Extreme Conditions

Posted by under Bedouin Tent Rigging

Stretch tents have many benefits – not least of which is their flexibility. They can be sited on rocky or uneven surfaces, in deserts or snowy terrain, on boats, rooftops or even around swimming pools or trees. This flexibility makes them extremely versatile. They can work as wedding tents in a vineyard or on a beach or as a medical or disaster relief tent in the middle of a desert. As long as people can traverse the area, a tent can be pitched there to provide shade and a meeting point for workers, guests or party goers.

Recently we pitched a few stretch tents in the snow for a shoot in Stockholm and the snow really made the stretch tent stand out emphasising its unique beauty. As you can see, it can be paired well with lanterns for a ‘fire and ice’ effect.

Wedding Lighting Options

Posted by under Event Themes

When it comes to decorating a wedding most people think along the traditional lines of floral arrangements or a multitude of expensive decorations, but one of the benefits of using a stretch tent for your wedding or other event is the ability to use lighting systems to create a vibrant and memorable atmosphere.

Wedding Tent Lighting Options

Most people begin their planning with the main lighting systems such as fairy lights, lantern lights or chandeliers, or even unique speciality lights. Whether you are looking for soft ambient lighting or decorative lighting for highlighting specific areas of your venue, selecting the right main lighting systems can set the perfect basis for a unique lighting theme.

Spring is going to be In-Tents!

Posted by under Events Management, South Africa

Planning any event is no easy task. All event planners know that there are a thousand and one things to do before the event starts, a hundred and one things to do once the event starts, and of course that one thing that somebody forgot to do. But with winter almost through, forgive me – I am an optimist, getting to work on the details of a spring or summer event is sure to make any event planner feel warm inside, whether it is a wedding, corporate event or a simple birthday celebration.

Spend Spring in a Tentickle Tent!
