Smaller Weddings are EPIC and we’re going to tell you why we love them so much!! Smaller weddings and elopements have been popular for a long while and fill our Pinterest boards with lots of incredible inspiration. At a time when smaller weddings and intimate gatherings are very much in the minds of many couples, we wanted to share some of those inspirational ideas and how they can absolutely be a reality rather than an aspiration, particularly with a tipi or marquee at your event.
There are so many benefits to throwing an intimate wedding or party and smaller certainly does not need to mean less incredible, far from it. Maybe you are thinking quite differently about how to plan your wedding at the moment too, different but just as amazing!
We are here to make sure your event is incredible and we are really excited to make it happen! Marquees and Tipis can make your event really special no matter the size, location or time of year.
We are so excited about the huge number of you that have been in touch to let us know that you are coming to our Tipi and Marquee Showcase this weekend Friday 5th October (2-9pm) as well as all day Saturday and Sunday 6th and 7th Oct (10-5pm). Come down and see the tipis, marquee, glamping village and street food zone complete with feature naked tipi, all styled to perfect to inspire you!
So with just a few sleeps left till our amazing open weekend, we wanted to give you a little peek at the styling inspiration that’s been going on behind the scenes here at All About Me with our brilliant suppliers. (PS you can see a full list of all our epic suppliers at the end of this blog post).

With just a few weeks till our amazing, bigger then ever before open weekend, we asked our stylist Rebecca from Pretty Creative to give us some of her top tips on styling your wedding marquee.

Here’s Rebecca with Part One of ‘How to Style your Wedding Marquee’; Part TWO on Friday is How to style your Tipi Wedding …
I’m so excited about styling the open weekend and I think its so lovely to make a statement with the entrance to your beautiful wedding marquee. It doesn’t have to be elaborate but creating a focal point at the entrance, leads the eye in and gives a sense of arrival.
You could create an entrance with a clear span frontage. Place potted bay trees, hung with tea lights, or flower arrangements on barrels either side of the door. Cluster hurricane lanterns next to them to be lit at night for your evening guests too. Add some attractive seating areas that go with your theme to finish the look. You could also create a walkway to your marquee, lined with hanging lanterns, which look magical at night too.
Marquee wedding are so versatile and unlike a venue in a building, your marquee is a total blank canvas, the perfect space for you to design. You can decide how big you want it, where you want the marquee and then exactly how to use the space.
Thinking about what will be happening on the day, you can create different spaces to make the most amazing day. A welcoming entrance area with seating, perhaps hire some cool sofas and low tables, you need a great bar area of course, maybe near the seating, a dance floor with plenty of room for everyone to join in. Eating is probably pretty key! So think about how you want the tables arranged and how they can be adapted later on in the evening as the use of the space changes. If you have a spare zone, think about adding an extra bit of fun for you and your guests, a glitter station, a Photo Booth or maybe a gin or Prosecco station.
I love the clear span sections that you can add into the All About Me wedding marquees! In the day you can look up to the skies, watch the clouds float by, the sun going down and the stars at night.
You can also create stunning focal points with features such as hanging floral hoops above the round bar, or hang cool addison oak lighting beams with foliage, chandeliers and strings of festoon lighting, all create atmosphere and the wow factor.
Lighting in your wedding marquee can be so magical. From festoon lighting, pealights, twinkly fairy lights, colourful up lighters, light up letters, candle light and stunning hanging candelabras and chandeliers. Lighting creates ambience and atmosphere and is just so pretty.
Finally, its a simple one really but gorgeous flowers, linen and stationery can tie the whole feel of the wedding marquee together. It can be as elaborate or as simply elegant as you want. Linen and florals soften the space even more and tie everything together for the perfect finishing touch to your wedding marquee!
Happy October! It’s our incredible OPEN WEEKEND this month and we cannot wait to welcome you on the 27th/28th/29th October to showcase our award winning tipis.

Last October, our lovely suppliers who work together to dress the tipis for our open weekend, collaborated on this elegant styled vineyard inspiration tipi shoot, captured by Lucy G Photography. We thought we’d share the images today ahead of our next open day. We think they are gorgeous!
The inspiration for the shoot draws on a subtle vineyard theme, with our bleach wood wine barrels, rich deep wine coloured florals, textiles and stationery with gorgeous sophisticated dresses for an elegant twist on a tipi wedding.
The styling is by Rebecca at Pretty Creative , dresses curated by Lucy at The White Closet Studios, Liverpool, beautiful florals by Heather at Living Colour, stationery by Emma at Hattie Boo Designs, hair and make up by Clare at Harry Jon and textiles by Kaye Hannabuss Textiles.
The tipis were set out with a main reception, party tent along with a smaller ceremony/blessing tent that overlooks the lake.The flowers by Living Colour were just a little opulent, with stone urns placed on wine barrels and deep, claret tones in the stunning bouquet.
The stationery again played on the vineyard and wine theme with beautiful hand painted invitations, table plan, save the dates and menus by Hattie Boo Designs as well as all the signage details. The Hollies Farm Shop provided the fabulous cheese and deli board, which Lucy G Photography managed to photograph just before everyone swooped on the cheese board to sample it!
Our bride Charlotte had her look created by talented Clare at Harry Jon, with a very natural look with her hair swept up in a loose up do with the occasional tousled curl loosely falling down around her face and shoulders. For the Charlie Brear dress, Charlotte’s hair was styled with a pretty floral hair clip by Gypsy Rose Vintage.

Real Tipi Wedding at Tros Yr AfonWe just love this brilliant tipi wedding of Susie and Rob at North Wales Venue Tros Yr Afon. If you are looking for a gorgeous location for your tipi wedding, we highly recommend this epic venue and the fantastic folks who run it. Nestled in breathtaking gardens near Beaumaris, Anglesey, it’s just a stones throw from the coast, the beautiful Menai Straights and the mountains of Snowdonia beyond.
A spacious lawn in front of the Manor House provides the perfect site for our Tipis as well as lovely accommodation on site for your guests to stay after partying hard at your tipi wedding. There is a mature woodland and walled garden too, so there are lots of amazing locations at the venue for beautiful photo opportunities.
