Wedding Styling: Elegant Tipi With A Contemporary Twist
One of the many beauties of a tipi wedding is its versatility and, as this styled shoot illustrates, the striking Nordic structures can work for a range of design schemes. “This shoot started as an idea to show that you don’t have to go for full-on festival vibes or rustic style just because you’re getting married in a tipi in a field or garden,” explains stylist and coordinator Nikki Sherriff of Knots & Kisses.
“Tipis can also have a beautiful, elegant feel and, as a stylist, that’s what I set out to prove. So it’s out with the rustic wooden tables and folding chairs and in with the elegant crossback chairs, fully dressed linen tablecloths and beautiful fringed napkins!”
Nikki pairs a neutral palette of oatmeal, beige and camel with pops of bright pink and fuchsia. “Tipis always look amazing with a pop of colour against the canvas,” she says. The florals are key to creating the air of romance and elegance that carries throughout the shoot, and dreamy clusters of blooms in varying shades of pink and fuchsia make a stunning statement in the hanging floral installation – a striking focal point for the ceremony – and along the top table. A beautiful hanging cake with matching floral details completes the glamorous scene.
