Festival
season is now in full swing, with a music festival of some sort every weekend
for the rest of the summer. So let’s embrace it with a fun festival themed
wedding…
Let’s
start with the colour scheme. A fun, bright yellow for the sash, with hints of
green, like the not so green grass of the festival arenas. With fun bright
colours like this, the sun is sure to shine on your wed fest!
Next
up is the table plan and table names. We love the idea of a festival poster,
showing your guests which table they are sitting at. What better for table
names, than the big festivals of the UK? With the top table of course being
Glastonbury.
While
we are on the subject of stationary how does a VIP style lanyard sound for your
guests to find their seat? These yellow lanyards are £18.99 for 50 (with free
postage on eBay) and in yellow, they add
a bit of your colour scheme to the table. Pair them with these fab cards they
work a treat. Even better, it doesn’t matter if your handwriting is like chicken
scratch with this style, scribble away!
Next
to the lanyard we will put the favour, and as this is a fun themed wedding,
let’s keep it light hearted, with a glow stick each for your guests, only £24
for 50 from eBay. These will also
make a great prop for your wedding photos; think like a sparkler, but a lot
safer.
Now
let’s focus all our attention on the main table decoration, the centre pieces.
And what better than… a welly! After all, foot ware is key at any festival. This
pair of wellies is only £19.95 from eBay,
and you only need 1 of the pair per table, cutting the cost! The welly can also
work as a canvas for you to scribble the table names onto with a sharpie, what
a handy shoe! The welly can be filled with wild daisy flowers and placed on a
wooden block to add a bit of height and bring a bit of the outdoors in. Next to
the welly on the raised platform a simple jam jar candle lantern adds a bit
more green, to break up the yellow of the welly. This jam jar lantern is £4.50
from Not on the High Street. To
finish the table off these glimma tea light holders are fab, and only £2 for 12
and filled with these scented green candles the room will smell great, these
are £1.35 for 30, both are from Ikea.
For
the top table we want to see the bride and grooms marital surname spelled out,
it is their festival to headline after all! These paper Mache letters are
great, and at 20cm tall they won’t block the view from the top table. Just give
them a lick of paint so they tie in with the colour scheme. Currently on offer
in Tesco, 2 for £3. To finish it off
add a few of the glimma tea light holders and candles and a fun bit of bunting
across the front of the top table.
To tie the whole theme of this
months wedding together, a live band! You can’t beat a great wedding band to
get all your guests up and dancing into the evening… glow sticks in hand!
