Don't know your sailcloth tent from your tipi? We talk to yurt and marquee specialist Yorkshire Yurts about outdoor weddings: Image 1

We asked Lotty Stapleton of Yorkshire Yurts to give us a rundown of the different types of structures you can celebrate in if you're having an outdoor wedding in Yorkshire...

When looking for a structure to host your wedding in, you're spoiled for choice. Although the style varies, they have one common feature: they allow you to let your creativity run wild!

- Marquees. Clear span, framed, sailcloth... the list goes on! If you're after a quintessentially elegant backdrop, take a look at our traditional pole options. The Petal Pole and Celeste are perfect choices for a touch of grandeur.

- Tipis. These have become a very popular option. Based on the classic Scandinavian structures, they suit a laid-back festival vibe. They're cone shaped and can be joined together to create the space you need.

- Stretch tent. This is a modern style where stretchy fabric is supported by poles underneath. You can choose to have the sides pegged down or raised up. With the flexibility of moving poles around under the fabric, you can create a striking shape.

- Yurts. We may be biased towards this option, but we're sure you can see why. With a circular shape, domed roof and charming wooden lattice walls, yurts provide a cosy atmosphere and a great party space. Add a wood-burning stove for ambience or go for clear sides to bring the outside in.

The UK Hen & Stag Destinations Everyone’s Booking for 2026

Once dominated by big nights out and budget flights abroad, hen and stag parties in the UK are having a rethink, and things are now looking very different. Research suggests that pre-wedding celebrations could be completely sober as early as 2040, with groups instead embracing alcohol-free celebrations that they're more likely to remember. Also, rising travel costs, tighter schedules and a growing appetite for wellness experiences are pushing more groups to stay closer to home.

The philosophy of white - Pantone's Colour of the Year

Pantone's selection of PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer as the Colour of the Year 2026 celebrates this very essence - a lofty, aerated white that whispers calm and serenity into a frenetic society.
