July's Headlining Wedding!

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!
