As a fan of summer camp, glamping, and Moonrise Kingdom, there is something about a wedding tipi that appeals to me more than a wedding tent. Yes, tented wedding receptions are gorgeous and elegant, but wedding tipis have a bohemian air to them that feels carefree and chic, in a DYI way, even if you don’t do any of the details yourself.

For those not wanting an entirely tented event, smaller tipis make great accent pieces for lounge areas, or a section for children.

Traditional tipis have their roots in Native American culture, where it wasn’t only an efficient structure, but also a symbolic expression of humanity’s relations with the natural and spiritual worlds. Tipis, sometimes spelled teepees, were used as sacred places to hold ceremonies…and what’s more sacred than a wedding? It’s a perfect match.
