The sun is out and the Sperry sides are up!

We’re interrupting our Spring Open Weekend sequence to celebrate the gloriously warm weather we’re currently experiencing here in the UK! In this blog post we are going to share with you just some of the reasons why our Sperry Tents are the perfect choice for your summer wedding or event.

With their US heritage (our Sperry Tents are handcrafted in Massachusetts) and Sperry partners in the Hamptons, Florida, Australia and even Hawaii, it’s no coincidence that our beautiful Sperry Tents are in their element in this summer’s soaring temperatures.

The Sperry Tent’s bright light oyster-coloured canvas is perfect for reflecting the sun’s scorching heat and creating an eye-catching contrast against the backdrop of a blue sky.

Open sides flood the interior with a flattering natural light and allow you to enjoy the cool and airy space inside. Should temperatures drop, clear side walls can easily be released, ensuring your guests’ optimum comfort without dramatically changing the overall vision of your day.

Crafted by the same family from Massachusetts for the past 34 years, the Sperry features hand-sewn panels of authentic sailcloth canvas. These geometric design details by master New England sailmakers embellish the simplicity of its clean crisp lines and are responsible for creating the voluminous space inside – an extra aeration advantage when keeping family and friends cool as they celebrate with you.

As the sun goes down, the height and space create an atmospheric communal dining area, and carefully positioned up-lights enhance the warm oyster-coloured glow of the luxurious canvas. The overall effect is reminiscent of the romance and drama of Hollywood glamour from a bygone era, the tents themselves having become synonymous with chic parties of the American elite.
