5 Tips for Planning Glamping Bell Tent Wedding This Summer

Glamping weddings are the best! Having the option to continue the party into the night or make the celebrations last a whole weekend is up there with our top reasons to choose Bell Tents for your wedding.

Spending the evening surrounded by the cackle of a camp fire, with the wine flowing and twinkling fairy lights in the background is just perfect. Then waking up with your friends and family to discuss the nights antics over a hot coffee in the morning mist is something magical.

If you’re thinking about booking one of our Bell Tents for your wedding party, here are our top 5 things to consider when planning:

• Location

Finding a venue for a wedding is a big decision. When considering a Bell Tent wedding, you need to make sure you have enough space for the amount of Bell Tents you’ll need – whether this is hiring a field or using your own back garden. You’ll also need to think about toilets too! We have years of experience in different locations and venues and are happy to chat through your ideas to make sure you’ve covered everything.

We are able to offer our services in London, Essex, Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire so if you need inspiration or suggestions of venues in these areas, we can help with that too.

• Quantity needed

Decide on how many Bell Tents you’ll need. This is dependent on how many guests you have and how many you would like in each Bell Tent. We have guest Bell Tents that sleep 1-2 or 3-4 people. We also have a Honeymoon Suite for the newlyweds and a chill-out tent that can host up to 30 people at a time.  Get in touch if you need to chat through your plans and help with the numbers – we like a math-related conundrum!

• Decide on a theme

Our Bell Tents come with all of the cosy bits you can think of – from rugs and cushions, to fairy lights and bunting. But we also welcome you to bring personal bits and bobs that represent who you are as a couple – so if you have a theme you want to stick to, we’d be happy to chat this through with you and incorporate it where we can.

• Make sure guests know what to expect

It’s important to let guests know what to expect so they can plan and dress appropriately. Maybe stiletto heels in a field is not the best idea, and a warmer jacket for the evening Is probably sensible. Giving information on parking and sleeping arrangements help people to relax and will make sure everyone has a fantastic time celebrating your big day with you.

• Plan for rain

There is nothing worse than feeling stressed about the weather forecast a week before your wedding – have a wet weather plan. We are super experienced in the great British weather, so are more than happy to discuss this with you too.

Our Wedding Bell Tent hire options suit all budgets, group sizes, location and comfort. Bell Tent wedding hire is the perfect alternative wedding guest accommodation option and we are able to offer our services in London, Essex, Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire. Booking with us is often cheaper than booking a taxi home from a venue, so to find out more, visit www.victorialilyevents.co.uk or email victoria@victorialilyevents.co.uk.
