Emily & Fred | Rustic Tipi Garden Wedding in Surrey
Emily and Fred's festival-inspired tipi garden wedding was a gorgeous rustic affair, complete with all the elements of a live country music festival—even a bridal stage dive. Impressive!
Arriving by way of a classic vintage orange VW camper-van (courtesy of Emily's Dad), Fred and Emily celebrated their nuptials with three giant tipis, live country music, a hog roast, outdoor party games, hay-bales & festoons, gorgeous rustic styling and stunning floral displays.
Befitting of an August bank holiday weekend, the weather was indeed a mixed bag. With a dose of lovely sunshine early on, the day soon progressed to some rather torrential downpours! Regardless of the weather, this lovely couple and their guests, embraced everything in their naturally relaxed way, and had the time of their lives, as you can see from these beautiful images by Alix James Photography.
