Event Design Tip: Cabanas!

I absolutely love CABANAS!  I love how they can emphasize something special and place all the focus on certain areas.  I also love the sense of intimacy and romance that they can create.  They definitely have a WOW factor and can be used in any type of event.  The cabana itself is a wonderful addition to any party, but can also be decorated to match the theme of the event, for an extra special feel.  Below are some of my favorite Cabana photos.  Most were collected from  
The Knot.com, or from image searches on Google (you can find many examples here).

Even an outdoor area can receive a touch of flair with a cabana!


These are only a few ways to incorporate Cabanas into your event!  Happy Planning! <3
