here is something
special about an
outdoor wedding.
Whether it's a sunny
spring aernoon, or
starry summer night,
nature can provide a perfect backdrop
for the start of a life together. But as any
wise bride knows, you cannot depend
on the weather to meet your high
expectations. An ideal image of vows
shared while the sound of the ocean
provides background music can be
blown away by a windstorm or washed
out by rain.
To avoid these potential catastrophes
or to just provide a bit of sun
protection, Sperry Tents can supply
not just a solution, but an answer
that brings an added elegance and
sophistication to an outdoor setting.
Sperry Tents was founded by
sailmaker Steve Sperry, whose Sperry
sails with the distinctive sun logo dotted
waterways throughout New England
for many years. His sails were popular
for yachters because they were custom
craed to ensure not only longevity, but
the satisfaction of knowing no two sails
were exactly alike.
Sperry sails are still made today, but
the entrepreneurial spirit of its founder
brought a new branch to the business
early on. Upon receiving an invitation
to a party, Steve decided to take along
a tent instead of the usual bottle of
wine. e sailcloth he used would offer
protection from the elements with the
ability only a sail can provide to stand
up to high winds.
