Go to any summer wedding and you are sure to find outdoor tents. These tents are usually rented from a company that also can supply tables and chairs.

Found on sale at Urban Outfitters. Our current cotton pillows are super comfy, but they attract a lot of cat hair and they're a pain in the booty to clean. These are silky and I really like the bright colors.
