MEET SAM ROBINSON OF BOUTIPI Tell us about your company… We’re a family-run company supplying luxury tipis and sailcloth tents for weddings and events in the Yorkshire region. We were voted England’s top marquee provider at the Wedding Industry Awards and we always strive to exceed expectations. Our ethos is to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Our tipis can be linked together in numerous formations for parties of up to 400 people. What’s your top outdoor wedding tip? Don’t panic about the weather! Some of the best wedding stories and photographs are ones that involve rain, and the sound on canvas is very romantic. Our authentic Scandinavian tipis are made to withstand the elements while our open fires and heaters keep them cosy in the colder months. What’s the best thing about getting married al fresco? The best thing is that you are working with a blank canvas. If you love DIY, you’ll be in your element decorating the tipis. However, if you’re not so creative, we have amazing stylists who can take the stress away and do it all for you. If you can imagine it, we can do it!
