Designing the Perfect Pole Tent Wedding

A sailcloth pole tent provides a stunning canvas for any celebration elegant, airy, and full of character. But it’s what goes inside that transforms a beautiful tent to your personal wedding venue.

From soft lighting to luxurious furnishings, every detail works together to create an atmosphere your guests will remember. We regularly supply and install all of these elements as part of a full set up. We’ll walk you through the key elements to show how straightforward planning a pole tent wedding can be!

Designing the space

Planning a pole tent event starts with the layout and overall style you’re aiming for. If you’re planning dining or evening drinks, facilities like toilets and heating may also be needed. (Don't worry we stock these)

We always include a 2D floor plan for our wedding pole tents, this helps picture layouts, sizing and the flow of people. Helping you nail down the number of furniture tables and chairs you may need for your guests.

Flooring

Flooring is what turns your pole tent into a proper usable space for your wedding.

It creates a level surface for tables, chairs, and glassware, ensuring everything feels solid and secure.

We install flooring in almost every pole tent to suit almost any venue, from farms, rural venues and perfectly curated lawns.

Pine interlocking Flooring

• This is our most popular flooring option. The pine flooring is a brown colour and gives off a rustic vibe. Suitable for semi level and undulating ground.

Wooden Steel sub flooring

• This is the Premium flooring, no compromise and looks amazing! It's perfectly level and can cover the most uneven of sites, spanning over mole hills, slopes, kerbs, you name it.

  

  Coir Matting

• Coir matting is a perfect complement to our pole tents, in a sandy colour they compliment the light colour of the celeste itself. Although needing a level ground to be set.

Carpet

• Coming in any colour you wish, this must be paired with a wooden flooring option, this gives a premium finish with a clean consistent colour.

Lighting Ideas for Your Scottish Sailcloth Pole Tent Wedding

Lighting sets the tone for your celebration. Warm festoon lights, glowing lanterns, and subtle uplighting highlight the tent’s sweeping peaks and create a magical evening ambiance.

Pro tip; I highly recommend outdoor or entrance lighting, if the tent is placed outwith permanent lights or in a field for example. This ensures visibility and nobody

falls in the darker hours of an event.

Outer lighting that makes the pole tent shine is the ridge lighting as shown in the photo above, highlighting the height and swooping shapes of the pole tent.

Interior Furniture

Rustic tables with Chiavari Chairs

Comfort meets style with carefully selected furniture. Think rustic wooden tables paired with elegant cross-back or contemporary limewash chiavari chairs. Every piece is chosen to complement the tent’s natural textures and the overall theme of your event.

Hanging Flowers

Suspended floral arrangements are a show-stopping highlight feature inside a pole tent. Cascading greenery, contrasting blooms, or even delicate dried flowers add depth and movement overhead — a beautiful way to draw the eye upward and enhance the tent’s graceful height.

This is one of the best ways to make the most of the tents height and create a real focal point.

Bars

A well-placed bar naturally becomes one of the main social areas inside the tent. Whether positioned to the side or as part of the overall layout, it helps create a focal point where guests gather, chat, and enjoy the evening.

We can help position the bar within your layout so it works seamlessly with your dining and dance floor areas, creating a space that flows naturally throughout the event.

Luxury Toilets

Even the practical details deserve luxury. Our beautifully designed restroom trailers offer a boutique hotel experience on site.

Featuring stylish interiors, soft lighting and high-end finishes, ensuring guests enjoy comfort and convenience without compromising, no matter where you are.
