World Inspired Tents are opening their tipis to all couples on the hunt for a stunning wedding venue

Charlie

I’ve got some exciting news worth shouting about – World Inspired Tents are holding an open weekend in October.  If you’re not aware of these incredible giant tipis then the first thing you should not is that not only do they look stunning in all of the photos I’ve ever seen, but they are even more impressive in person.

So if you’ve just started planning your wedding and you’re looking for a totally unique and unusual wedding venue, or an alternative to the traditional white marquee, then get yourself to Darts Farm near Exeter on the weekend of 22nd and 23rd October and have a good nosey.

A round-up of seasonal summer wedding flowers – including a floral dog collar of cornflowers and mint

Charlie

I thought it might be nice to do a round-up of what some of the lovely businesses listed on the directory have been up to recently.  So I’ve had a snoop round their blogs and decided I would feature some seasonal flower photos, for the following reasons:

  • I just can’t get enough of English flowers at the moment (probably spurred on by the buckets of gorgeous flowers I had to arrange for my wedding)
  • They are always such a positive and beautiful reflection of our seasonal countryside

Charlie Ryrie from The Cut Flower Garden has been creating floral wonders such as this stunning globe of flowers for a wedding recently…

And arranging flowers for this wedding in vintage style jugs and jam jars…

Jo and Rachel over at Green and Gorgeous created this stunning (and pretty fabulous, don’t you think!) summer collar for one of their dogs.

It’s made from blue cornflowers and apple mint – I think this could be the new must-have item for anyone incorporating their dog into their wedding…

PapaKata Autumn Open Weekend 2010

Charlie

A fantastic opportunity to go and see these incredible giant teepees set up and decked out.  If you’re considering a giant teepee for your wedding, I’d definitely recommend a visit – Mr Rigg and I went to see the giant teepees set up last autumn in Sussex and you really get a feel for the atmosphere you can create inside them.

PapaKåta are holding an open weekend on the 9th and 10th October 2010 just outside York.  You can drop in at any time to say hello, sip a glass of bubbly and toast marshmallows on the brazier – or you can book an appointment with one of their team.
