Canvas & Light / Fiesta Fields Open Weekend
A few weeks back we hosted our first joint Canvas & Light / Fiesta Fields Open weekend at Hidden Valley in Godalming. It’s been a crazy two months and only just getting a chance to share these pics with you now.
We wanted to provide a really relaxed event where couples could view one of our beautiful venues set up for a festival style wedding, with our stunning white tipis as the star of the show.

Over the months and weeks in the run up we were busy firming up the suppliers that would help us deliver the full festival wedding vibe.
We had Katrina from Beautiful Bells showcasing their chill out 7m bell, 5m and 4m sleeping bells as well as their exquisite draped couple bell.

Clare from Turmeric House – and our resident stylist – was involved throughout as she was leading the styling of our giant hat tipis to perfection.

Kayleigh, a local florist who owns The Flower Hub provided beautiful fresh floral inspiration and styled two tables in her festival inspired theme with crockery, cutlery and glassware from Couvert.
Just a sneak peak as these will be appearing on another blog very soon
Emily from Faux Bloom added some awesome floral installations, both in the tipi and for our naked ceremony tipi. She also styled up the other set of tables.

Last, but by no means least - the talented lady who was here there and everywhere, capturing all these gorgeous shots - Abigail. Abigail has a passion for photo as well as film and also produced a fab little film for us too, which you can see below. Abigail White Photo + Film
It was a great team, a great weekend and we hope everyone who paid us a visit enjoyed themselves and felt a little bit (or a big bit) inspired.
You’ll see a few sneak peaks of our styled shoot in the video. We’ve been keeping it all under wraps as we were waiting for the awesome feature to come out on Festival Brides and now it is. You can have a read on the link below.
