Unusual marquees

Have you looked in to the idea of a tipi? You can get hige ones all different shapes + sizes. We were originally going to go down this route but then fell in love with our venue instead!

I now need to help you find a circus tent!!!! That sounds amazing.

Here?

^^^ might not be exactly right for you but shows that, in principle, a circus tent can be hired!

Well done Lady!!

There are loads of funky marquees around

We opted for giant tipis (katas) ourselves, but there's lots to choose from.

Try Mr & Mrs Unique: https://uniquerebelsunion.co.uk for ideas.

There are lots of different styles on there from suppliers up and down the country.

One thing to keep in mind though is that if you opt for that kind of thing, typically you have to source and pay for literally everything else you'll need yourselves, from flooring to toilet facilities, lighting and generators to power everything. It works out to be pretty expensive, but if it's what you want, go for it

Not sure where you would get one from but if you watch Emmerdale, Katy and Declan had a fantastic one that looked like giant wigwams!

Hi,

Hi,

My daughter got married at Drayton Lodge, Norwich, and that has a marquee, which was a draped blank canvas which we decorated with playing card bunting etc for an Alice In Wonderland theme.

Love those BB

What these have you got going on?

Theme? ?

I'm not even drunk!

Don't worry, I read it and tried to remember what I was even asking!

That sounds amazing. So your dress caught you by surprise? Your BM's dresses sound wonderful too. Please give them flower crowns!!

Talk away...love hearing about it.

Stick with me kid ?

Look at this loveliness!!!!!!

Your dress sounds amazing. x

I'm sure that your florist should be able to make one like the link above too?

Here's a few more options for temporary structures:

I know people have mentioned Tipi's but if you decide to go for a tipi, get a quote from this company http://www.worldinspiredtents.co.uk/ they did one of my best friend's wedding and they are excellent.

Bedouin / Indian Tents

Have you ever thought of having a Bedouin or indian tent? They are fabulous and so different. Here's couple of companies that do them:

(You can get enclosed indian tents - this pic is just an example I had on file)

Dalo's

Dalo's are really eye catching - they are basically glass conservatories with spikey roofs which can withstand a force 9 gale!

Glass Roof Marquees

Don't discount the humble marquee just yet. There is so much you can do with them. How about one with a glass roof for some wow factor? They look amazing if you put the marquee up next to some tall trees and put fairy lights in the branches above the roof.

Hope this has given you a bit more food for thought! Good luck x x

I love that glass roof one!

I shot a tipi wedding last year. You can have as many as you need as they all connect.

Bench's with faux fur seats a cushion area . If its hot the sides can be lifted. We had a very windy day so could not do that.
