Marquee Weddings at Home

Marquee weddings, whether they are at home or at a venue, offer the ultimate in flexibility when planning your wedding day. Starting with a blank canvas allows you to choose every element from size, style and shape of the marquee, down to the style of décor, table layout and even the smallest of details such as the colour of the internal lighting.

You’ll also need to give some consideration to the more practical details, such as flooring and heating for winter or cool evenings. I would highly recommend hiring your wedding marquee through an established and reputable company who can offer advice on these practicalities.

When planning a marquee wedding at home your garden is one of your major considerations. You’ll need to make sure you have enough space for a marquee large enough to accommodate your guests and this is another area where a reputable marquee hire company can provide advice. Once you’ve established the location of the marquee you’ll want to make sure that the garden looks it’s best and that is likely to take some planning well in advance.

You might want to plant additional flowering annuals in beds or planters for extra colour. If you have tree cover in your garden take into account that this area might be needed for portraits if it rains. With all your guests taking cover in the marquee there may not be any space under the canvas for photographs! If your heart is set on a marquee wedding and your garden isn’t big enough don’t worry, there are plenty of venues available with beautiful gardens and large grounds.
