Tipi Wedding at The Apple Orchard

Photography by Patrick Partridge

Having a joint love of Glastonbury, Emily & Tom’s wedding at The Apple Orchard is an absolute winner. Their festival-inspired day includes glamping, smoke-bomb portraits and one heck of a party! Recommended Supplier, Buffalo Tipi, was on hand to provide the perfect venue, alongside Patrick Partridge, capturing each magical moment. Wildflowers decorated their space, complete with a neutral colour palette of dusky pinks and creams. We’re loving the floral hoop hanging from the tipi ceiling and the ceremony structure, which was handmade by the groom! So, if you’re a boho babe with a love for festivals, then this one is most certainly for you.

THE APPLE ORCHARD & ADVICE

Emily & Tom had so many comments about The Apple Orchard and what a unique and stunning wedding it was! They suggest not letting the thoughts or doubts of others change your mind, as they heard plenty of comments before their big day which could have easily swayed their choices. Thankfully, they knew their wedding was going to be incredible! So, if there is an idea or theme you want, go for it! 

FAVOURITE MOMENT

Their photographer, Patrick Partridge, took both Emily & Tom outside just before he left. Making sure they both had a drink, he told them to just take a moment and take it all in. They were surrounded by festoon lighting, glowing tipis and guests laughing at the bar. The dance floor was packed and people were in the Photo Booth giggling away. It was a magical moment they will never forget.

We found our photographer Patrick through Rock My Wedding Recommended Suppliers. We could see from his photos, reviews and then speaking with him that he would bring the creativity and passion we were after and he did not disappoint!

Emily & Tom


The Apple Orchard was the perfect wedding venue for Emily & Tom, as it allowed them to explore their love of Glastonbury and create a festival wedding! Having a tipi wedding is a fantastic option if you’re looking to DIY a little more and express your creativity. Of course, we’re also loving their smoke-bomb portraits and decorative stepladder!
