We had a lovely family day out today in York, and popped in to see our friends at Papakata on the way. They’ve been holding a wedding open weekend for the last couple of days at their site on the Escrick Park Estate and it was great to go along and say hi. We’ve worked on a few Papakata weddings in the last year or so. In fact their marketing manager, Sally, was one of our brides last year. She loved her Tipi wedding so much she joined the company so it was lovely to see her again today.
We love these weddings so much. Every one has been so different, and the tipis always look amazing, however they’re decorated – classic wedding style with round tables and starched white linen, or country shabby chic with trestle tables and vintage jugs of wild flowers. The beauty of tipis over more conventional marquees is that they’re fantastic for winter weddings as well as summer – they were originally pioneered by the Sami people of Lapland. An add-on chill out zone with beanbags, fire pit and animal skin rugs really adds to the cosy atmosphere.
Here are a few pics and a slideshow of Papakata images we’ve taken at the weddings we’ve covered.
