As the days get longer and the sun beats stronger, our thoughts are turning to wedding season. This year we are getting excited about doing things with a twist.
You can do just that with Camp Kerala (www.campkerala.com), the experiential luxury group that launched at Glastonbury Festival in 2005 and swiftly became "one of the most glamorous places to be in the UK" (Vogue). It specialises in elevating events to the next level with its luxury tented experiences. It is a boutique hotel, no-holds-barred party and chic chill out all rolled into one.
To celebrate their expansion in to weddings, launching in partnership with the stunning Wormsley Estate in Buckinghamshire, here are 10 reasons why luxury camping is now such a great option for weddings.
Create a whole world for your wedding
Forget the marquee. Camping is all about building worlds and taking experiences to new heights. It has built its reputation on those "extra miles" moments and attention to detail. It can create a bespoke wedding to suit your every need.
Make it a weekend, not just one day
Gathering all your friends together for the best day of your life? Why not make it the best weekend of your life? With beautiful Indian Shikar tents, you can accommodate up to 200 friends and family in a location of your choice. With king sized beds, sumptuous sheepskin rugs and beautiful Rajasthani, there's nothing else like them.
Festival Village
It's not just the Shikar tents that make camping so special. This world-renowned group have built a festival within a festival at Glastonbury, and the other hand picked events they travel to internationally. This ranges from their legendary bar to their spa, salon and Cocoon (specialising in festival fancy dress and accessories). All you need now is to book the Rolling Stones...
Bohemian chic
The fashion world shows no signs of abating in its love of all things festival. With camping, you can fully embrace that… whether it's wild and rustic or chic and sophisticated, luxury camping can cater to your every need. Making you feel like you're sunning yourself in Coachella or rocking out at Bestival. Grab that flower garland and party!
All Together Now
With your friends and family all staying together in one place, there's an extra special feel to your wedding. They'll be waking up just a stone's throw from each other and all the different aspects of your wedding party. There's so much potential to give your guests things to do between the bar and the dance floor.
Colour It In
Summer and colour go hand in hand. With your luxury camping and festival experience, why not push the boat out and get a little bit carried away. With festival style tickets, lanyards and wristbands, your friends and family can feel like they're really part of something unique and one off. Which they are… it's your wedding!!
Weather the Storm
It's the one we all dread: the heavens opening. Luckily for you, camping doesn't let a little thing like rain stand in their way. There's as much fun to be had indoors as out. Whether you want to retreat to the confines of your tent, surrounded by champagne on ice and fresh lilies, or gather in the chill out bar with your guests, the party is just getting started! Just ask them to pack their wellies!
Festival Food
Whether it's gourmet restaurant food or festival rations you're after, from retro pizza vans to bars in Land Rovers to food being magically produced out of pop up kitchens, nothing is too much trouble. And that's not even to mention the cocktails!
Festival Facilities
It's the one we all dread…. the festival long-drop! But fear not, from exquisite toilet facilities to spas, hair salons, saunas, massage parlours; you can get ready on the day and nurse that hangover afterwards with this amazing service. Pampering at a wedding? Yes please.
It's All About The Music
Of course, no festival is complete without the music. Whether it's a live band or DJ rocking your dance floor, make it feel extra special with your festival chic vibes. Once those feet are hurting from all that dancing, it's a just a small walk from stage to tent to get some beauty sleep. Bring festival vibes to your reception!
A Camp Kerala experience is like no other. The events they have sprinkled their unique brand of magic dust over are truly unforgettable. Start planning your Camp Kerala wedding today!
