Why do we love styling a marquee wedding? It’s the perfect blank canvas. It gives couples freedom and flexibility to create something truly stunning and personalised for their wedding day. It can be overwhelming bringing all the elements together from the lighting, hanging floral installation, furniture and décor details. So here’s some of their recent marquee styling concepts to awaken your creativity.
TROPICAL LUXE
Create modern luxe vibes by keeping things simple with a clean white palette and adding an abundance of lush greenery and hints of gold for the luxe factor. We love this fresh look using white bentwood dining chairs and banquet tables paired with gold lanterns, elegant white crockery and hints of natural textures of linen and rattan. Complete the look with hanging installations of tropical foliage, crisp white orchids and natural beaded chandeliers for a beautiful, refined setting.

ROMANTIC CELESTIAL
A modern romantic style with a celestial luxe vibe. This is a beautifully soft and dreamy theme perfect for couples looking an intimate, fairytale-like feel for their wedding day. Using hints of rustic elements with blush, natural white, gold, neutral tones and timber textures is what creates this look.
Incorporate a soft pastel floral colour palette, with hints of gold to take it to the next level of luxe. Add textural floral installations like the ones below and finish the ambience with lots of candles, Edison bulbs and a full fairy light treatment which extends to your outdoor dance floor to create all the sparkle, for a truly magical celestial vibe.
