Tipi Tents for Weddings and Events

A tipi is actually a tent that takes the shape of a cone. These were used by the Native American Indians of the Great Plains as shelter. Today, they are seen as an iconic dwelling connected with Indians from all over America. The tipi is quick to erect or disassemble, which of course suited the nomadic Plains Indians. As a dwelling place, they were ideal; warm in winter and cool in summer.

CONSTRUCTION

Today's tipis for weddings and events are made from tough, durable canvas. The construction of the present day tipi stays true to the original style, though, using upright poles that erect from the wide base and converge at the very top. This leaves hook opening above - originally a smoke hole that was used to release indoor fireplace emissions. A canvas flap forms a door that allows entry, although several tents are often linked together, leaving the structure quite open round the base (on one side, at the very least).

EXPANSION

For large events or big weddings, many of them linked together is the perfect solution. It could offer an unbroken space that easily accommodates 500 people or more. This makes them very flexible in what they are able to do, or be used for. If you want more space, just add another tipi or two. It is usually as simple as that. Modern tipis for weddings and events come in a range of sizes, too. Smaller tipis could be more suitable for cosy occasions, as the larger ones interlinked are perfect for large scale events. The ability to choose tipis of different sizes-and link them together without an excessive amount of trouble-seriously enhances the flexibleness of this type of tent.

Tipis, like most canvas structures, are translucent, so the light in the tents can be seen from the outside. This is where coloured lighting comes into its own. It can create almost magical effects to mesmerise and hypnotise, and delight everyone there. And when the lighting is synchronised to complementary music, then magic does indeed happen. The colours take on a life of their own, charming and exciting those who are touched by it.

Tipis for weddings and events, although growing in popularity, have yet to be fully appreciated by the masses; it's one among those products that aren't advertised all that much. You'll probably see them in a marriage magazine or at somebody else's event. People today expect something more dynamic than the standard white marquee tent, and the present day tipi delivers that. With some imagination and creativity, the options are endless with a tipi.
