Want an outdoorsy wedding with a cool festival feel then why not opt for a Tipi wedding. Many couples dream of having an outdoor summer wedding in the countryside and Tipi weddings fit the outdoor brief perfectly.

The fairy lights, wooden beams and long trestle tables will create an intimate and festive atmosphere for your guests.

You can even opt for a warming fire pit and long banqueting tables. Both work beautifully in a marquee or tipi, adding atmosphere and creating really special spaces for a memorable celebration.

Picking a tent, a tipi or a classic marquee can alter the look and feel of your big day.

The tipi provides a beautiful warm atmosphere which complements most wedding decor themes- from formal, country garden parties to laid back bohemian rustic themes.

Some couples go all out with super glamorous styling, while others keep things simple with wildflowers and homemade touches.

The tipi or marquee structure allows for lots of hanging décor. Try pom-poms, bunting, ribbons, chandeliers or draped flowers, foliage and fairly lights.

If you need a bit of inspiration, then here are some wonderful ideas for a tipi or tent wedding.

A Romantic Tipi wedding

For a romantic tipi wedding, think of an English garden party with lots of flowers, bunting and fairy lights. Candles on the tables and wreaths will also create a special atmosphere. A live band would work well with this theme and you can serve a traditional menu of roasted lamb and chocolate Malva pudding with berries for dessert.

A Bohemian Tipi wedding

 

For the bohemian tipi theme, you can pull out all the stops and go big with the festival vibe. Opt for colourful decorations such as ribbons and pom-poms. Have a live DJ, food trucks, a disco ball and even a round of tug of war.

The family-friendly Tipi wedding

The family friendly tipi wedding has family at its heart. Make sure there are games for the children and fun outdoor activities such as a jumping castle. Everyone is invited including pets. You will need a large garden for this type of wedding, but it will be so much fun.

The Celestial Wedding

The latest wedding theme trend

Couples are literally embracing the moon and stars for their wedding design in 2018. The celestial wedding trend is sure to impress your guests with its out of this world dreamy décor.

With this theme couples can opt for designs such as -the sun, moon and stars; and can incorporate themes such as astronomy and star gazing.

There are so many unique and beautiful ways to add a celestial vibe to your wedding. We especially love the use of moon phases and constellations in the wedding décor.

The celestial theme can work well in an industrial space or a countryside venue, so it is very versatile. The colour scheme usually centres around- dark midnight blue, charcoal grey or metallic shades. Choose one metallic colour for the highlights of the evening- silver, gold or copper.

Here are some wonderful ideas for a celestial themed wedding.

Celestial wedding table décor

Go minimalist and simple with the table décor. Have charcoal and black coloured plates with gold plated cutlery. Place tea-light candles in tall candle holders with star shaped holes, so that the flames flicker like twinkling stars. For the flowers stick to green and grey foliage, and white flowers.

The Celestial cake

When it comes to the cake you can really be creative. Try gold leaf designs on dark blue icing or why not try the latest geode cake trend, that looks like it’s from out of space.

The Celestial Dress and Accessories

Every bride wants to sparkle on her wedding day, so of course the celestial wedding is the perfect excuse for a bit of glitter. Details from the shoes to the dress, and even the make-up can incorporate glittery elements.

The Celestial backdrop

Make sure to incorporate the celestial theme in your wedding ceremony backdrop. You could opt for a subtle backdrop of fairy lights and flowers or you could go to town with a moon and star film-set that guests can pose in and interact with.
