Why host an intimate wedding at home?

More and more couples are opting for small, at-home weddings, often in a family setting. This format offers numerous advantages.

A meaningful, emotional location

Getting married at home brings deep meaning to every moment of the celebration. Whether it’s in one of the couple’s childhood homes or a family garden, the venue tells their story and adds authenticity to the event. Every memory already rooted in the space enriches the emotion of the big day. And for guests, it’s an intimate window into the couple’s world.

Complete freedom in planning

A wedding at home frees you from time limits, pre-set packages, or imposed suppliers. You have total creative freedom to design a tailor-made event, from how the spaces are arranged to the day’s rhythm and decor.

A budget focused on the experience

Instead of investing in renting a traditional venue, you can reallocate the budget to what matters most to the couple : ambiance, food, décor, and guest experience, including onsite  tipis.

A response to the micro-wedding trend

The intimate wedding aligns with a desire to slow down and savour each moment with loved ones, without rushing. This “slow” format encourages deeper connections, a more meaningful experience, and a smaller environmental footprint.

Accommodating the guests onsite : the teepee solution

When hosting an outdoor wedding, accommodation is a key concern, especially in the countryside, where hotels may be limited or far from the venue. Renting tipis for anintimate wedding offers a unique, practical, and stylish accommodation option.

Teepee tents offer many advantages :

• A natural or boho look that blends beautifully into a garden or field ;
  
• Premium comfort, including real beds, flooring, lighting, bed linen, and heating if needed ;
  
• Safety and convenience, no night-time transport, everyone sleeps onsite ;
  
• An immersive experience, creating a mini festive village that reflects the couple’s personality ;
  
• Flexible capacities, with duo tipis, family tents, and more, all fully adaptable.

Practical tips for integrating tipi accommodation into the wedding

To ensure the guests’ comfort and a smooth setup on the big day, here are a few key things to plan ahead of time:

1. Estimate how many guests will need accommodation

Make a list of guests who won’t be able to return home after the celebration, friends from far away, families with young children, elderly relatives, etc. This will help you determine the number and size of tents needed so everyone is accommodated comfortably.

2. Choose a suitable spot for setup

Opt for flat ground when possible, but don’t worry if the terrain is uneven. Atawa’s self-supporting flooring systems allow tipis to be installed on all kinds of surfaces.

3. Plan for essential amenities

Ensure access to electricity (or consider renting a generator), sanitary facilities, and possibly a shower if guests are staying multiple nights.

4. Create an inviting outdoor ambiance

Design a full wedding setup with lantern-lit paths, string lights, signs, a cozy fire pit or brazier, every detail will make the celebration unforgettable.

5. Offer thoughtful touches

A welcome kit inside each tent, a countryside-style breakfast, a morning coffee bar, or a group brunch the next day will all add to the “weekend with loved ones” feel.
