Moonlit Moments: Why Night-Time Weddings Are Pure Magic 🌙

When the sun goes down, the magic begins.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels atmospheric, intimate, and completely different — a night-time celebration might be just the thing.

At Vintage Florrie, we’re all about sustainable weddings with soul, and we believe the most unforgettable moments often happen after dark. Whether you’re planning a woodland ceremony lit by lanterns or a tipi reception that glows from within, there’s something truly special about getting married beneath the stars.

Why Get Married at Night?

While daytime weddings are traditional, a night-time wedding offers something unusual, enchanting, and memorable — all with a lower impact on the planet. Here’s why we’re in love with moonlit “I dos”:

✨ 1. It’s All About the Atmosphere

Think soft candlelight, festoon bulbs, and vintage lanterns casting warm pools of light. The result? A romantic setting that needs very little extra décor, which keeps waste and costs down.

🌿 2. Eco-Friendly by Nature

Night-time weddings often use fewer resources — no midday heat means less need for electricity or cooling, and low-energy lighting like LED bulbs or candles are beautiful and kind to the planet. We also specialise in using preloved, repurposed props that shine in this setting.

💫 3. A Celebration That Feels Like You

Evening weddings feel more relaxed, more intimate, and often more “you.” There’s no rush, no early starts, and you can lean into a laid-back, soulful vibe that puts connection and creativity at the heart of your day.

Vintage-Inspired Night-Time Wedding Styling Ideas

At Vintage Florrie, we bring personality and purpose to your celebration with unique styling rooted in sustainability. Here are some of our favourite ideas:

🕯️ Candlelit Ceremonies – Imagine saying your vows surrounded by soft candlelight and flickering flames.

🌾 Vintage Props that Glow – From antique glass bottles to wooden ladders and preloved textiles, every detail shines differently at night.

🔥 Cosy Fire Pit Lounges – Create relaxed corners with a lounge area, vintage rugs, and baskets of blankets for guests to enjoy.

🌸 Seasonal Florals & Foliage – We favour local blooms, dried flowers, and foraged greenery that feels natural, wild, and perfectly imperfect in moonlight.

💡 Sustainable Signage & Details – Use seeded paper, vintage mirrors with bespoke lettering, and hire items to keep your celebration planet-friendly.
