Creative event professionals should be able to throw a great party, and this event definitely did not disappoint! Earlier this month, a variety of vendors pooled their talents to help launch inWHITE, a collective of wedding businesses in Clinton, CT. Their goal is to help brides plan all aspects of their wedding in one place. (Learn more: visit their website or Facebook page.)

We were happy to help make the party happen, providing a 32 x 50 ivory tent for drinking, lounging, and dancing to a fantastic live band.

Masterminded by event planner Candice Coppola of Jubilee Events, the evening was  filled with unexpected, delightful details at every turn. It was a chilly January night but our heaters (plus the dancing) kept everyone toasty warm. Not surprisingly, white ruled the night, from the tent to the floral arrangements to everyone’s party wear.

Lounge furniture and custom lighting and drapery by Ryan Designs created comfy seating areas for guests and added to the glamour of the night. Positioning lights, such as these tufted sconces, directly over chairs and sofas was a great design idea.

The event wasn’t just about decor. Wonderful nibbles and fun signature cocktails by caterer A Thyme to Cook kept the party going. We particularly loved the upside-down calla lilies,  arranged by florist Datura, A Modern Garden, which formed an intriguing, modern backdrop to the bar. And we couldn’t help but include some of the night’s featured cake designs by A Little Imagination Cakes, because who doesn’t like cake?

And this blog post wouldn’t have been possible without the talented team at Carla Ten Eyck Photography. Carla’s firm (now a member of in WHITE) covered the party from start to finish. Her team is always great fun and never misses a shot – thanks Julie!

Everyone especially enjoyed the photobooth provided by Jim Altieri of Vintage Cinema (Sperry Tents attendees included).

One especially appropriate touch for such a social media-savvy crowd – the in WHITE Twitter feed projected onto the Sperry Tent. (BTW, if you want to keep up with Sperry news such as this party and more, follow us on Twitter @SperryTents).

It was a beautiful September day, perfect for a wedding at the Wauwinet on Nantucket. Melissa and Eric were married outdoors, overlooking the ocean, right next to their 46 x 85 reception tent from the island’s Sperry Tents provider, Nantucket Tents.

Guests looked on while the newlyweds danced on the resort’s zen deck, with a setting sun (and a sweet 24 round Blue Star tent) in the background.

Sperry Tents Mystic had a great time working with Caity and Matt on their recent wedding at the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington, CT. After cocktails in the museum’s historic sunken garden, everyone headed over to the 46 x 125 Sperry Tent for dinner and dancing.

Managed by Sixpence for Your Shoes event planners, the day was perfect – except for one quick rain shower as guests headed inside the tent. Vibrant floral arrangements by Dragonfly Events were perfectly accented by china in a variety of colorful patterns. Strings of Asian lanterns provided interest overhead and plenty of nighttime glow.

Special thanks to IRIS Photography for allowing us access to their wonderful imagery. For even more pictures of this stylish wedding, check out their blog.

We were pretty excited to see the big 66′ x 106′ Sperry Tent go up at Chatham Bars Inn for a beautiful Cape Cod wedding masterminded by event planner Allison Wildes Liset of Elegant Engagements. Special thanks to photographer Eric Barry for allowing us access to his stellar work. Custom lighting design by Ormonde Productions.

For this blog post, we’ll let the pictures do the talking.

A 46 x 105 Sperry Tent was the perfect setting for this fun rehearsal dinner on Martha’s Vineyard. The atmosphere was relaxed and festive, with illuminated star lanterns in an array of colors overhead. Red checkered linens and freshly cut sunflowers provided a down-home backdrop for the delicious lobster bake. This is summer living at its best. Bibs for everyone!
