The Style: Country Chic, with Cottage Garden Details

Country chic works so well in a marquee because it’s all about comfort, warmth and natural textures — without looking messy or overly rustic.

This couple leaned into a cottage garden look, with blooms tumbling out of pots and jugs both inside the marquee and in the surrounding outdoor areas. It created a romantic, “just picked” softness that suited the Cheshire countryside perfectly.

The Setting: Private Land in the Cheshire Countryside

Hosting a wedding on private land in Cheshire gives you total flexibility — you’re not constrained by fixed venue layouts or timings, and you can design the experience around your guests and your style.

For this wedding, the weather was on their side, which meant everyone could move easily between the marquee and the outdoor space, creating that effortless “garden party” feel (but with a wedding-level finish). Hay bale seating and open-field views made the whole day feel grounded in the landscape.

Planning Tips for a Country Chic Marquee Wedding in Cheshire

A few practical tips if you’re planning a similar wedding on private land:

Think about outdoor comfort
If guests will “spill out” into the field, create intentional areas: hay bales, benches, shaded spots, and a clear drinks area.

Make the outdoors part of the styling
Repeat your florals and décor outside the marquee so it feels cohesive, not like “inside is pretty, outside is blank”.

Plan access early
Private land weddings often need extra thought around: vehicle access, ground conditions, power, lighting and toilets.

Don’t underestimate evening atmosphere
Country chic looks incredible after sunset with warm lighting — it’s one of the easiest ways to elevate a marquee reception.
