Sophie and Stephen weekend festival wedding was full of good friends, good food and an amazing line up of live music. All with a focus on sustainability and seasonality.
This was not a festival inspired wedding but an actual festival named ‘Into The Sunset’ with a full weekend of events, music and feasting. We worked with Sophie and Stephen to refine their styling ideas and inject some of there personality into the styling.
festival wedding on the cornish coast with colourful tipi styling
With the wedding ceremony starting at 10am guest could make the most of the celebrations and get the party started early. We decorated The Cornish Wedding Barn with twinkly fairy lights, jam jars of wild flowers and and hexagon backdrop adorned with dried flowers. After saying there vows and a quick drink outside the barn guest heading back to Tremorna Farm to get the festival vibes started.
British Flowers, Cornish Food and Sustainable Decor
It was very important to Sophie and Stephen that there wedding day left as little impact on the planet as possible. One of the best ways to achieve this is to choose suppliers that also share that ethos. The feasting menu was designed around seasonal and local food. Florist and flower farm Sweetpeas and Sunflowers provided bouquets and jam jars of wild flowers that are grown in Devon. When working on the design we found ways to re-use ceremony decor for the festival. As always we used a lot of reclaimed materials and our vintage props.
Rustic Tipi Styling with pastel colours and greenery
The majority of the feasting and dancing took place in three tipis provided by the Cornish tent co. Pastel coloured lanterns and festoon lights lit up the roof of the tipis creating big impact and adding colour to the neutral tipi. The food was served on large plates of food to be shared by guests. We designed and made sharing tables from reclaimed wood. They raised the food up to allow easy sharing but also meant that we could arrange foliage underneath them to give a rustic look to the table. The table names which were the couple favourite festival were applied to the tables which looked great but also saved space.
The jam jars from the ceremony were re-used on the table and each place setting had a pastel pink napkin and a dried flower arrangement as sustainable alternative to a favour.
The Personal Touches: Festival ladders, Record table plan and Giant LOVE letters
One of our favourite parts about working with a couple is coming up with decor that reflects them as a couple and is personal to them. Sophie and Stephen loved going to festivals together in particular Glastonbury festival. To reflect this we created a display that showed all these beautiful memories. Using vintage ladders, Gold frames with polaroid photos and jam jars of wild flowers. This was a real talking point during the drinks reception.
Keeping with music as a key inspiration we created a seating plan from vintage records suspended from a large gold frame with pastel coloured ribbon.
On our first call Stephen mentioned that he wanted a large sign inspired by the iconic sign at Galstonbury. This was so important as it really set the tone for the whole weekend so we made the sign in our Devon studio especially for this wedding. It was so popular with the guests and tied the whole theme together. We love it so much that It is now available to hire from our prop collection!
