Your East Anglian Wedding - Page number 44 - June/July 2021 (Issue 49)

Tipis, marquees and stretch tents are a popular choice for outdoor celebrations, bringing the outside in with plenty of greenery, rustic details, wooden trestle tables and chairs to complement a natural setting. Norfolk-based Magical Events specialises in giant hat tipis and bell tent hire including all the furnishings, lighting and extra touches to create your own unique space. Owner Lisa Mazurek says, “Tipis are so neutral that they work best with bold, bright tones as well as green, white and neutral shades. You can add pops of colour with hanging décor, coloured glass, table runners, napkins and flowers. Neon signs also look amazing in tipis.” When it comes to choosing the perfect setting for an al fresco ceremony – the only limit is your imagination. What’s more, East Anglia is blessed with a wealth of diverse and fabulous settings from coast to countryside. “The only only thing to hold you back is the limiting belief that you can only have your wedding ceremony in certain places. However, with so many wonderful locations, you really can find one that is perfect for you,” says celebrant Rebecca Waldron of Cambridgeshire-based White Rose Ceremonies. Once the legal side’s sorted, the world’s your oyster for a one-of-a-kind service, tailored to suit you, in your chosen spot. “There are so many options available with a celebrant-led service, from formal venues, mansions and hotels to fields, forests, mountains, sand dunes and beaches. You could also host it at your family home, in a poppy field or bluebell wood, we’ve even conducted a beautiful ceremony on a punt in Cambridge. Plus there’s no restriction on time – sunrise, a breakfast wedding, afternoon, at sunset or midnight, it’s entirely up to you,” Rebecca adds.
