For couples choosing to celebrate their nuptials under canvas, there are an increasing number of options available.  From stretch tents to big tops, yurts to Bedouin tents, there is something for every theme and budget.

Tipi1

Beautiful in any landscape,  tipis provide a warm and atmospheric backdrop to any styling theme – from a traditional English Country wedding in the grounds of a stately home, to an earthy festival wedding in a wildflower meadow.

Tipi2

The tipis can be attached and configured flexibly dependent of the size of the wedding and site, comfortably seating up to 1000 guests.  An extensive range of furnishings and lighting are available – including open fires to keep the tipis warm and cosy! Second time winners of  The Wedding Industry Award for Best Marquee Hire Provider, World Inspired Tents offer a range of Nordic inspired tipis.
