Planning your wedding can be a stressful affair, especially if you have no idea where to start or are unsure of your theme. So we think the best place to start is to put aside the minor fact it’s your wedding and just imagine you’re having a party with all your nearest and dearest.
What would make the party go off with the bang? Think back over the past year and what party stands out as the best? When and where were you having the most fun? Chances are your friends and family were as well and that’s the most important thing. A wedding party should be just that – a social gathering to which people are invited in order to enjoy themselves and often celebrate something!
Festivals are the highlight of many people’s year, whether it’s food, drink, comedy, music or film related there’s one for everyone whatever their taste, age or interests. One thing these festivals all have in common is they’re set in the great outdoors, at the mercy of the elements and under the stars. So even if people differ in their choice of festival – Glastonbury, Rockness, the Ludlow Food Festival, the Great Britain Beer Festival, they all appreciate spending some quality time with friends outside in the fresh air.
With this established, why not let it be the basis of your wedding plans? Celebrate your big day by gathering your favourite people outside, provide them with food and drink let the festivities begin! If this sounds like a brilliant idea, a campsite wedding could be the answer. Campsites are no longer just the terrain of avid birdwatchers and naturists and they’ve come a long way since the waterlogged fields of yester year. Nowadays, campsites can be kitted out with all the luxuries you need for your perfect wedding. Whether you want a posh do, a romantic affair or a relaxed get-together, there’s a campsite out there waiting to host your ideal wedding.
Marquees, tables, chairs, bunting, flowers, crockery, cutlery, glass wear, fire pits, sofas, rugs and festoon lights can all be amassed to turn a campsite into something really special. There are plenty of companies out there willing to do all the hard work for you and ensure your campsite is kitted out to the max with all the trimmings.
DIY barbeques, hog roasts, cupcake towers and cheese tables will ensure none of your guests go hungry. To ensure everyone stays hydrated, keep them refreshed with champagne, juices, wine and our favourite – freshly foraged cocktails. Made from the flowers of an elder tree and topped up with champagne, an elderflower cocktail is a delicious taste of the outdoors. A Polestars Glamping Weekend lets you choose from a number of bespoke locations, from forests to beaches across the country and you’ll spend the night with an expert glamper. You’ll fall in love with camping whilst you’re huddled round a fire with your best friends, sharing stories under the stars.
