Italian-Inspired Marquee Wedding in West Sussex: A Perfect Blend of Love, Family, and Mediterranean Elegance

Kelly and Dan's wedding at Findon Place in West Sussex was a stunning blend of English charm and Italian elegance. Originally dreaming of an Italian wedding, the couple decided to celebrate closer to home so all their loved ones could attend. Despite the change in location, their wedding was infused with the romantic essence of Italy, creating an unforgettable West Sussex wedding that felt like a destination celebration.

Outdoor Wedding Ceremony

The day was nothing short of magical. Though the weather changed their plans for an outdoor ceremony, we brought the beauty of the Italian countryside indoors. The ceremony space was transformed into an all-foliage wonderland, with lush olive branches as the focal point. The room was filled with the calming, earthy scent of rosemary candles, adding a touch of Italy to this West Sussex wedding. The intimate, serene atmosphere perfectly complemented Kelly and Dan’s love story.

Italian inspired Marquee Wedding Breakfast

For the reception, the traditional pole tent marquee was reimagined to capture the essence of an Italian wedding. A bespoke rigging was installed to lower the ceiling, creating a cozy, alfresco dining feel under draped foliage and twinkling fairy lights. The marquee was transformed into an Italian garden, offering guests a unique West Sussex marquee wedding experience that felt like an evening in the Mediterranean.

The Italian influence was evident throughout the day. Large floral displays featuring olive leaves brought the warmth of Italy to the heart of West Sussex. The escort card table was a beautiful nod to Italian hospitality, with each guest’s name attached to a bottle of limoncello. This personal touch made every guest feel like they were part of something truly special, capturing the spirit of an Italian wedding.

The party continues…

As the evening continued, the Italian ambiance was carried through to the bar area. A bespoke rigging overflowing with foliage and lemons added a fresh, zesty vibe, perfectly encapsulating the feeling of an Italian summer. This attention to detail ensured that every element of this West Sussex wedding reflected Kelly and Dan’s vision, bringing their dream of an Italian wedding to life in the English countryside.

It was a joy to work with Kelly and Dan on their West Sussex marquee wedding. Together, we brought the essence of Italy to their special day, creating a celebration that was as beautiful as it was personal. Their wedding was a perfect blend of love, family, and Italian charm, making it a day to remember.
