Roll up! Roll up! Come and celebrate the greatest love story told! Invite your loved ones to a carnival of a wedding day, with bright balloons, lights and stripes. 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.
We have put together a collection of inspirational carnival themed Images, fair ground rides, as well as a vintage vibe from a Gothic circus.

A Carnival themed wedding is a riot of colour with opulent reds often at the forefront, rich velvet drapes for the luxe option think bespoke circus style big top for a more budget friendly option use coloured fabric and drape, balloons can add impact. Indian Umbrellas In rich colours can also add quick pop up areas of interest.

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.
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.
