Tented weddings are like blank slates. You get to bring in all of the character and ambience and a great way to bring the romantic vibe is with lighting. From your tables having tea lights to highlight the florals to just having candles as your centerpieces lighting matters. For the overall feel of the space consider overhead lighting with string lights and chandeliers. You can bring your event to the next level when you think about how the space is going to look when the sun goes down.
