Ripe Romance Styled Tipi Shoot
A Springtime Tipi Wedding Styled Shoot – 2016
During the Spring of 2016 in the marvellous May sunshine, a team of talented Midlands Wedding suppliers got together at the beautiful Heath House in rural Staffordshire to create an inspirational and opulent Ripe Romance styled Tipi shoot. Overall we wanted the shoot to demonstrate the versatility of our Tipis and show how well they can be adapted to fit an environment more conventionally associated with a marquee reception.
A Beautiful Botanical Styled Tipi Shoot
An Autumn Tipi Wedding Styled Shoot – 2015
A rural Saw Mill location set amongst the lush green Derbyshire countryside, in a field lined with an abundance of tree’s and logs. Here lay the inspiration for this beautiful botanical styled Tipi shoot. We wanted to go back to nature bringing the outdoors in, to compliment the natural, rustic elegance of the Tipis themselves. The look is clean and simplistic, but with natural rawness and texture.
