CONTEMPORARY CHIC – LUCY & TOM’S WEDDING

‘Simple is chic. Three Linked Giant Tipis, with long tables, cross-back chairs and an interior dancefloor and bar. Here we paired minimalist tables with interior lighting and rustic wooden tables to give a truly contemporary look. The exterior festoon lighting was added to give that wow factor. Wooden doors were added to give a feature entryway.’

VINTAGE LUXE – TORY & ANDY’S WEDDING

‘This wedding utilised our Vintage Marquee structure with both interior and exterior festoon lighting. Clear panels allow an astounding view from the inside of the marquee and a light, airy atmosphere. Long wooden tables were laid out with cross-back chairs to give a traditional yet modern look. These were dressed with hessian table runners and foliage was hung overhead to give texture and a luxurious aesthetic.’

RUSTIC BOHO WEDDING

‘Our Sailcloth Marquee is ideal for creating a rustic boho theme. With the option for clear panels, they bring a light atmosphere creating the perfect setting. At this wedding, we paired our Sailcloth Marquee with our matted walkway to create an extended entryway.’

WINTER WONDERLAND

‘Our Nordic Tipis create the perfect winter wonderland atmosphere and will make any couple feel as though they’ve stepped into a magical winter world. From cosy shearlings on benches to rustic wooden furniture to fairy lights for a romantic touch, the options are endless to personalise the tipi to capture your personality as a couple.’
