With an elevated height, our timber pole marquees are handcrafted from a natural cotton canvas fabric in a neutral ecru finish that creates a bright, light and airy interior and offers a blank canvas for you to style as you wish. We truly believe that floristry styling is absolutely key to bringing together the perfect look for your once in a lifetime celebration and love nothing more than for couples to get creative with their Big Day blooms!

Here’s a few ideas to help inspire you with your floral design planning…

An outdoor wedding offers so many exciting possibilities for your big day and finding the perfect structure for your open-air celebration is absolutely key to throwing one heck of a party! With a variety of options out there, it might take some exploring to really get a feel of what it is that you want for your wedding.

When planning your outdoor celebration, aesthetics such as the shape and the colour of a tent will be obvious observations when thinking about choosing the right structure for you, but have you ever considered the material? Ultimately, the fabric of which a marquee is made from is absolutely essential to the atmosphere of the space inside!

There really is no denying that our luxury canvas and timber pole marquees are spectacular structures. With an open plan layout, high rooflines and a bright, light and airy interior, they offer a space like no other and provide you with a blank canvas to create the outdoor wedding of your dreams!

If you do follow us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, you may have spotted on our social media accounts that we recently co-ordinated a set-up in our glorious12x34m marquee and worked closely with a number of truly inspirational industry creatives based in the North West to style our biggest marquee for, not only a stunning styled shoot with Fox & Bear Photography but also to film the interior for our brand new virtual reality tour - very exciting!

Clearly, sourcing the right kind of bar is very high up on any outdoor couples priority list! There are many exciting ways to serve refreshing beverages to your guests at your open-air celebration and here at The Canvas Tent Co. we’d love to help find the right solution for you!

There’s no doubting that there are many structures to consider when choosing the right celebration space for your outdoor wedding but nothing compares to the Will’s Marquees canvas & timber pole tent. Aesthetically they’re outstanding but that is not all. Our luxury Will’s canopies are British made using the finest materials sourced right here in the UK.

It’s a funny period, this time of the year. The hours and days between Christmas and New Year where nothing really happens and nobody knows what day it is. A time to eat, drink and chill and a great opportunity to get cosied up with your dearly beloved and take a moment to begin your early plans for the biggest day of your life!
