Winter Tipi Weddings in Devon: Why More Couples Are Choosing to Get Married in Winter
If you're planning a winter wedding in Devon, you might be wondering whether a tipi is the right choice for you. The answer is yes, and here's why.
We've been helping couples create incredible tipi weddings across Devon and Cornwall since 2007, and winter weddings are some of our absolute favourites. There's a warmth and intimacy to a tipi in winter that you simply can't recreate anywhere else, and once you've experienced it, you'll understand exactly why so many couples are choosing to get married in the colder months.
The atmosphere is unlike anything else
In winter, it becomes something completely different, a warm, glowing, intimate space that feels a world away from the cold outside. The fire pit gets going, candles flicker on every table, fairy lights fill the canvas overhead, and the whole space comes alive in a way that makes guests feel like they've stepped into something truly special.
Couples who've had a winter tipi wedding with us always tell us the same thing, their guests arrived not knowing what to expect and left saying it was the most magical wedding they'd ever been to.
More availability, more flexibility
One of the biggest practical advantages of a winter wedding is availability. Summer weekends in Devon book up fast, often 12 to 18 months in advance. Winter gives you far more choice when it comes to dates, and your suppliers, photographers, caterers, florists, bands, are likely to be more available too, and often more competitively priced.
If budget is a consideration, a winter tipi wedding in Devon can give you more for your money than a summer one, without compromising on anything that matters.
The styling opportunities are incredible
Winter tipi weddings have a completely different look and feel to summer ones, and a lot of couples love that. Rich, deep colours, candlelight, foliage, dried flowers and berries, the fire pit as the centrepiece of the whole space. You have a blank canvas to work with and the season does a lot of the styling for you.
Florists love working with winter, what's in season is often more dramatic and interesting than summer flowers, and it tends to cost less too.
When's the best time for a winter tipi wedding in Devon?
November and March are our top picks for winter weddings. You get more settled weather than the depths of winter, a better chance of some daylight for outdoor photos, and all the cosy atmosphere that makes a winter tipi wedding so special. December is magical but fills up quickly. January and February are the quietest months and typically the most affordable.
