More than just a party, the wedding now takes on the appearance of a real festival. With its unique half-hippie, half-rock’n’roll atmosphere, the very famous Coachella festival is a great source of inspiration for the bride and groom. But how to organize a coachella wedding? A coachella themed wedding : the codes !
A chic and rock bohemian dress-code
Festival-goers who go to Coachella recognize themselves by their look. Their outfits are a mix of bohemian elements and rock pieces.
Lace, crochet clothes, perfecto, jeans, fringes, sequins, prints, neon lights, suspenders, bow ties, embroidery, transparent tulle, croc top, mules, sandals, long and flowing skirts… the bride and groom and guests dare to combine several fashion universes.
The watchword is natural and fluidity. Gone are the stuffy suits and corseted dresses, make way for linen chinos and supple shirts, boho-chic fluid or vintage white dresses.
In terms of accessories, straw bags and hats, golden jewellery, stones, an accumulation of necklaces and bracelets, headband, fluorescent jewellery, sunglasses, round colored glasses… fit perfectly with the coachella theme.
To perfect the festival look, the skin is adorned with ephemeral tattoos, rhinestones…
Coachella bridal hairstyle: natural hair and head accessories
For a coachella wedding, the bride styles her hair naturally. Loose hair, loose buns and braids are ideal wedding hairstyles for the coachella theme.
The coachella bride can also put accessories in her hair: headbands, headbands, pearls, feathers, flowers…
Colorful and glittery wedding makeup
The festive atmosphere of Coachella is brought as much by the animations as by the participants. If the spirits are at the party, the bodies too.
The make-up is very colorful : pink, yellow, green… the eyelids are adorned with bold, bright and fresh colours.
Sequins are also very present in coachella makeup, as well as skin jewelry. Worn around the eyes or on the forehead, they illuminate the face.
Flowers galore
Centerpiece, bride’s hair, groom’s boutonniere, bridal bouquet, photobooth… flowers are ubiquitous at a coachella wedding.
Hanging garden, floral arch, XXL bouquet, flowery chandelier… seasonal flowers are staged as often as possible. But also pampas grasses, palms and the very trendy dried flowers.
The coachella wedding also happens a lot outdoors, so the flowers are also found there in their natural environment.
multicolored decoration
Multicolored garlands, balloons and confetti, disco balls, LED tape and lasers, paper lanterns… Coachella decor loves warm colors and light effects.
For the palette, we bet on terracotta, vegetable colors, azure…
The entrance of the bride and groom can be done under the colored smoke. A trash the dress is also feasible. Enough to also take memorable shots of the wedding ceremony.
An outdoor wedding
The Coachella festival takes place in the desert, not far from Los Angeles. Orchard, field, plain, beach, wood, … to celebrate a coachella wedding, an outdoor location, if possible isolated from neighbors, is perfect.
It can be used for a secular ceremony or to meet after the visit to the town hall and/or the church.
Unlike the Californian festival which takes place in the spring and where good weather is guaranteed, the weather for a wedding remains uncertain.
Barnums can be installed to protect its guests in case of showers, so that the rainy wedding starts, as the saying goes, as a happy marriage.
A show wedding
If it is now a fashionable mecca where you have to see and be seen, the Coachella festival is above all known for its music scene. Today, the concerts are not the only strong moments of the festival: it is a whole spectacle which is offered to the visitors. Animations are therefore essential for anyone who wants to choose the coachella theme for their wedding..
Live music
Music is an essential element in wedding festivities. At the DJ coachella weddings prefer an orchestra playing live. The dance floor ignites to the frenzied rhythms of the instruments, which resonate until dawn.
At Coachella, different rhythms are played. At the wedding, the bride and groom can establish a playlist with the group. Improvisations are also welcome.
If the bride and groom or their guests are also musicians or music lovers, they can play their instrument or give voice during the evening.
Original animations
Circus performersfireworks, caricaturistsmagicians… alongside the musicians, other original and spectacular entertainment can be offered to guests. Enough to have fun and keep an unforgettable memory of the wedding.
Wedding food trucks to delight your guests
Very trendy, the wedding food truck is the solution to delight your guests at your wedding while remaining in the coachella theme.
Street food or more gourmet menus are served at the truck. Salty and/or sweet dishes, there is something for everyone.
Everyone can go and eat when hungry and settle in the dining areas provided for this purpose: high tables, sofa installed in the grass, straw bales, floor cushions, benches, outdoor carpets and blankets…
Of the camp firesheated parasols, lanterns can warm the body and create a special atmosphere after dark.
Barbecue, buffets and other salad bars, sausage bars, candy bars etc can also be very significant stands in a coachella wedding.
What gifts for the guests of a coachella themed wedding?
Like all the rest of the festivities, guest gifts for a wedding rely on originality. Dream catcher, skin jewelry, temporary tattoos, natural jewelry, sachets of seeds to plant…
Colourful, lively, musical, the Coachella themed wedding is very festive and very convivial. It is a private festival that celebrates the love of the two beings who unite, with great reinforcements of animations, guests who mingle, who sing, who dance and who have fun in the heart of nature.
