Michelle and Martin’s Colourful Festival Themed Tipi Wedding in Cheshire by Lucy Alexandra Photography

I am delighted to share this gorgeous fun filled festival themed wedding for you today, courtesy of Lucy Alexandra photography. Michelle and Martin planned a laid back, fun filled wedding day, full of the most amazing wedding decoration that they created themselves. They took on lots of DIY projects to keep the wedding individual to them, keeping the the colours bright, cheerful and full of festival cheer. With a bouncy castle, food trucks and a brass band playing for entertainment, this wedding is bound to put a smile on your face.

‘Colourful festival’

Michelle and Martin were married on 4th May 2024 (yes big star wars fans) at Duddon mill farm in Cheshire. ‘Duddon mill farm just seemed like the perfect location to have our festival themed wedding, lots of space for food trucks / activities and a big party. We had around 80 guests and it tool just over a year to plan.’

How they met

We DIY a lot of the decor to save money, plus that way we could make it more personalised and more us.

Where did you splurge and where did you save?
We had lots of food trucks and entertainment to add to the festival feel.
