Weatherproof your wedding with tipis
Are you planning your dream outdoor wedding in the UK? Lucky you! Summer weddings in the great outdoors are the best.
We do, however have the reputation that our weather is somewhat…unpredictable. But don’t worry! We’ve got your back. Here’s how to weatherproof your plans (so you don’t spend the the run up to your day checking the weather every 60 seconds).
Picture perfect tipi weddings
So, you want your guests to stay dry and cosy whatever the weather, but every element of your reception also has to look perfect. Who wants to compromise on their wedding day?
With tipi hire for weddings from Katah Events, you don’t need to. Our sweeping canvas tipis are a stunning setting for weddings, with dramatic silhouettes that somehow manage to complement every location we set them up in. Externally, the tents provide gorgeous visuals for your photographs — and we know photographers love working with tipi weddings! — and they are just as impressive inside with elegant angles and wooden beams.
Giant tipis are so much more photogenic than their cousin, the standard white marquee.
So in this case, balancing all of the must-haves is easy — no compromise necessary when it comes to a tipi wedding!
Your choice: Tipi sides, up or down?
One of the best things about choosing to tipis for your wedding is the flexibility you have when they are set up. Not only can you choose their layout, but also how open they are. If the forecast is favourable, our expert build team can lift those tipi sides up. If you’d rather err on the side of caution, they can be lowered to keep your guests try. Both options look fabulous.
And if mother nature does decide to toast your marriage with a shower (or a downpour)? No bother. The tents are designed to withstand all of the elements, and the rain slides right off the canvas.
Planning ahead
There are a few easy tricks that you can use to troubleshoot any wet weather issues. Consider investing in a few umbrellas for guests to use — it’s so simple, but a detail that they’re sure to appreciate (and you can really tie them into your colour theme).
We’ve also noticed that at outdoor tipi weddings, cosy blankets for guests to wrap around shoulders and knees go down really well.
And finally…keep your guests warm with our special tipi fire pits! They add visual drama, make sure that nobody is going to get chilly, and help to dry out any dampness. If it does happen to be wet, you’ll be thanking yourself for opting for the fire pits. Trust us.
