Tipis can enhance any theme, such as festival, boho, rustic, country, tropical, botanical and Scandi style. We have put together a collection of our stunning tipi weddings and showcases to inspire your wedding or party!


Festival Wedding Style - Bold, Bright & Colourful


Bold, bright and colourful with lots of hanging decor - flag and ribbon bunting, pom poms, giant outdoor DIY signage and festival flags.

Outside, Tipis can be adorned with brightly coloured festive ribbons, or flag bunting for a warm, fun atmosphere! Maya and Liam’s fabulous festival wedding (pictured above) featured homemade ribbon bunting to match the colourful theme, as well as a beautiful sunflower wedding arch and hand painted signage. You can check out their amazing wedding here with photography from Kerrie Wood Photography.

Botanical Woodland Tipi Theme


Bring the outside in! Incorporate a botanical or woodland theme. Adorn tipi poles with delicate green foliage and stunning table jar flowers. Suspend statement piece flower clouds, or floral hoops to transform the space into an indoor woodland wonderland. This style of decor looks gorgeous at garden weddings and woodland wedding venues.

Use the tipi poles to hang lush foliage, foraged from your garden. This is one of the ways to add maximum impact, for very little cost, if you can source greenery from your garden, as did Sarah and Paddy at their stunning intimate summer wedding. Photography: While We Wander.



Add mixed table candles and colourful glass flower jars to add interest to your table settings.
