Fall Venues, Part 2: Tents

This post is just barely squeaking by to count for Tuesday. I got a last minute ticket to the Britney concert (A lil' shameful? I know!), and headed out with friends. Don't forget to check back for the winner of the stationery giveaway tomorrow morning!

A lit up tent for an October reception evokes a rather enchanted feeling. It also opens up your location options. A large plot of land is really your only requirement! There is an excellent article from WedPix Magazine that dishes on using tents for your reception location. In the article, Michael Rooney from the Wedding Photojournalist Association (note: wpja.com -my favorite way to search for a photographer) really focuses on how creative you can be when using a tent.

Check out these pictures below for great creative inspiration:

At the Brock House Restaurant in Vancouver, they set up this gorgeous tent for receptions just outside the restaurant.

Here's another incredible outdoor wedding followed by a tent reception. Also shot by Jenna Walker Photography. Without a doubt, this Style Me Pretty feature is bursting with rustic creativity.

If you're opting for the plot of land, you'd better be sure you have 'facilities' for your guests. Yes, I'm talking about portable restrooms. Why ignore the obvious! Here are a few links to peruse:
