Description
The use of color “champagne” in the fabric provides a unique integration to the natural green of the place. This cover provides a special and exclusive space for weddings, meetings, birthday celebrations, etc. without sacrificing the natural environment. Two holes were provided in order to let the two main trees grow and embrace the membrane cover.
