May 17, 2015

ideas for a festival themed wedding

With the summer very nearly upon us, I’d hazard a guess that plenty of you are gearing up for festival season… both music and wedding stylee! Here are some of the best ideas to bring that theme to life.

Your seating plan could be laynards

The Inflatable church performs (non-legal) weddings at Bestival every year but you can hire it for your own wedding too!

You should definitely invite your guests to camp overnight!
