  • Building tipis in paradise today @dublinbayweddings @lakewanakanz go check out our stories for lots of tipi building action. Love delivering events it’s always so exciting to finally share the tipis with our couples after months of planning and chatting all things tipi wedding.
  • There’s something that happens in mountain towns in Summer. We start dreaming about winter...being cool, seeing fresh snow on the peaks, crisp blue sky days, rugging up in cosy coats and sitting by the fire sharing tales of adventures. Winter weddings are our personal favs and we’ve made it pretty easy with our log burning Swedish fire pits and our super cosy diesel heater. Do something different and feel the magic of a winter wedding, I would ❄️⛺️🏔Image @jimpollardgoesclick
  • Beautiful photos from @charlottekiriphotography of this three-pi at the family home of Jana + Netty. One of our favs this season!
  • What an amazing weekend of tipi builds. Bring on next weekend and making more tipi dreams come true! 📷@e_stonian #thankyou #buildingmagic #buildingdreams
  • Tomorrow the tipi crew head over the hill to take down a single tipi then build two tipis at a private house for a day after party then off to Arrowtown to build another single tipi for a 50th party. Then we head back over to Wanaka to build two tipis on Friday for a weekend wedding! Wahoo, tipi lovin all around. Some good gatherings will be happening this weekend 🖤
  • Back at Thurlby Domain today and I’m reminded of this gorgeous wedding that was featured in @nzbrideandgroom. This shows 140 guests seated in two tipis with outdoor dancing beneath the twinkle of festoons and fairy lights. A perfect setup for a relaxed festival style wedding. Planning by @emmanewmanweddings captured by @carlamitchellphotography
  • Morning off adventures. #lovewanaka
  • Single giant tipi sitting high above Lake Hawea. Ingrid + Ryan had pretty awful weather for what should have been a beautiful December day (normally December here is still and fine with settled weather) they were basically caught in a storm cycle, the same storm that flooded Wanaka township. So this is a story about how sometimes the weather can be a bit shitty. That’s the truth. It’s not always blue skies and butterfly’s but you know what, when you’re gathered beneath that tipi with all your friends and fam and you’ve just married your best mate the weather really doesn’t matter! Believe me, you will be so caught up in the emotion of the day you won’t care if your dress gets a bit muddy. Cause it’ll be one of the best days of your life! I stood and told Ingrid that the strongest knots are tied when wet (in folklore this means a good strong marriage-tying the knot) which made her cry, then her mum cried then yeah I had a little cry too!! #gladtheybookedatipi 📷 @emily_adamson florals @onefinedayweddings
