TIPS FOR PLANNING A CAMPING WEDDING

If you're looking for some tips on producing the most AMAZING wedding Glamping party, you're in the right place!

Cornwall and Devon are literally FULL of beautiful glamping locations and options for Bell Tent parties. Perfect locations for couples that are outdoorsy and love being as close as possible to nature. So here are some tips to make planning your outdoor wedding more fun and less, well, daunting.

An outdoor Glamping wedding is an experience, just like a destination wedding. The best way to get guests feeling excited and prepared is having a wedding website. This is an easy way to gather and communicate relevant party information in one place. Along with information about your wedding location, you can add a link to your Glamping accommodation booking webpage, hosted by Ysella. One click (or scan of a QR code if you prefer) will take your guests to a reservation webpage, where they can choose, book and pay directly for their party Bell Tents. We include key details that will help your guests arrange their tented accommodation for the weekend, and provide various tent sharing options. Helping to take some “to-dos” off your list.

Don’t forget that all of our party Bell Tents are provided with super comfy beds that are ready-made, with rugs, lanterns and cushions. So guests don’t need to worry about packing sleeping bags, or sleeping on the cold hard floor. Providing real beds also means that elderly guests can enjoy a glamping experience and feel involved too!

DON'T FORGET THE BASICS

Your guests will require portable toilets and showers. For your glamping wedding, we recommend Cornwall Conveniences and Andy's Loos for your toilet and shower hire needs. Both of these commercial suppliers are highly sought after and tend to get booked up in advance. It's a good idea to contact them early to secure their availability for your special day. If you're hiring small individual portable toilets, you may want to consider a designated area for getting ready. Our Getting Ready Tents are perfect for this, coming fully equipped with mirrors, seating, toiletries, clothes rails. All customised to fit your event's needs.

Keep the little ones entertained and out from under tables in the main tent with a dedicated children's play tent. Our Children's Play Tents come with wipe-clean tables and comfy bean bags, perfect for hours of fun. And for the adults, we offer Chill Out Tents complete with soft furnishings, so they can relax in comfort.

GIVE YOURSELF TIME

Allow enough time to set-up, and don’t forget to add signs to direct guests to each area. Up-cycled wooden pallets are good for this. Also great if you’re planning a sustainable / eco-friendly wedding.

STAY FULLY CHARGED

Part of the charm of being outdoors is being unplugged. But, you don’t want to miss out on capturing the fun. Consider a phone/camera charging station. Or our hireable portable power packs can be placed in each tent so guests can charge their devices over night. Portable power packs can be added individually as an hireable extra from your booking page.

FEEL GOOD

One location for your entire celebration, like a tipi wedding with on-site accommodation, can significantly reduce your wedding's environmental impact compared to using three separate venues. This creates a more sustainable wedding that is better for the planet. Ysella is the perfect match for eco-conscious couples. We pride ourselves on our environmentally mindful, low waste, sustainable approach.

DON'T FORGET IT'S YOUR WEEKEND

After all that, don't forget that it's your weekend too! As well as supplying Bell Tents for your guests, spend your wedding night under the stars! Treat yourselves to a night of luxury in one of our beautiful Honeymoon Suites.
