How to plan a festival wedding?

The beauty of a festival wedding is all the small touches that make your day memorable. Signage is a great way to be fun and add a personal message, floral pieces can give a natural and rustic feel ideal for outdoor weddings. If you are planning a carnival styled wedding, you can have a lot of fun with the details.

Where should a festival wedding take place?

A festival wedding doesn’t really scream ‘cathedral ceremony’, so it’s a good idea to find a relaxed and cosy venue near to the festival site where your party will take place. For the more nomadic couples out there, why not tie the knot in a romantic woodland setting, with glowing lanterns hanging from the trees and a bouquet of trailing ivy?

Is a festival-themed wedding right for You?

If you want a wedding that’s entertainment-focused, informal and all about fun, food and flower crowns then a festival-themed wedding is perfect for you. More and more couples are holding festival weddings – many stretching their celebrations out over a whole weekend, with guests camping at the festival site.

How do I choose a photographer for a festival-style wedding?

Traditional, highly-styled photography isn’t really compatible with a festival-style wedding, so look for a photographer who specialises in relaxed, reportage style images. You could even consider a photographer with experience of photographing live bands and festivals, as well as weddings.
