There is so much fun to be had with a carnival wedding theme. It’s not just about the entertainment with this wedding theme, colours, fabrics and lighting all play a part. The Carnival themed wedding will suit an outdoor marquee venue, a theatre or a dramatic cabaret style venue. The Greatest Showman, Moulin Rouge and Dumbo provide lots of inspiration for styles, colours, quotes and perhaps table names.

Carnival Wedding Food ideas
Street food would work really well at a carnival themed wedding , or food stations serving hotdogs, bowl food and sliders, informal dining is key to this style. Finish with candy floss, popcorn, toffee apples and donuts to get a fix of sweetness so soak up that alchohol.
Wedding Props and Entertainment
Beautiful colourful signs and festoon lighting would really set the scene for a carnival wedding theme. Entertainment booths setup with temporary tattoo’s or even a kissing booth would look great. Add simple retro games perhaps a coconut shy or hook a duck which could all be done DIY to keep costs down.
