Favorite Camp Wedding Ideas for the Outdoorsy Types

How To Throw a Camp Wedding photo by Phil Chester from this Vintage Inspired Camp Washington Wedding

It’s no secret that we love a good camp (slash glamp) wedding here at GWS! One, it’s a fun way for the couple who loves to be outside to share that with family and friends. Two, there’s a special kind of romance that comes from being under the stars. And three, a camp wedding hits all the nostalgia of setting off to summer camp as a kid, where nothing but fun and possibility await! (And perhaps a harmless bit of trouble, too!)

Add to that list the treasure trove of design + decor possibilities and we are sold. Which is why we’re here today, rounding up some rad inspiration from ceremony to reception! If you’re thinking of planning a camp wedding, this one is for you. We can smell the campfire now…
