Pippa Middleton is Celebrating Her Wedding in a Giant Glass

What could be more magical than a marquee filled with romantic florals and embellished with dazzling lights? A giant glass marquee!

A massive 140ft-long glass marquee has just been unveiled at Pippa Middleton’s family home – Middleton Manor, a Gregorian Grade II listed mansion. The bespoke conservatory-style structure, which looks more like a glass palace than a marquee, was shipped in from Belgium and costs a massive $170,000 AUD. The structure will take six days to finish and is so vast it can be seen from the main road.

The marquee is being installed to host Pippa’s wedding reception organised by her parents Michael and Carole Middleton. The Middleton’s are professional party planners by trade, and run their own successful business Party Pieces, so it’s only fitting that they should be organising such an event. The marquee is from PBI Event Architecture.

We love a marquee wedding, particularly when it’s on such a grand scheme! Considering a marquee wedding for yourself? Here are some of our favourite real weddings celebrated in beautiful marquees to inspire!

This marquee wedding in Byron Bay is simply divine. Styled with low overhanging greenery and white flowers, copper pendants, and rose gold accents, the space creates a sense of openness while still providing intimacy. The festoon lighting and minimalist table settings add just the right amount of magic to this wedding.

Deanna and Ivan’s wedding takes glamour to a whole new level. Their marquee was adorned with masses of lush foliage, gold candelabras, and dreamy crystal chandeliers. Deanna wanted the space to resemble a timeless, vintage and romantic escape, and we truly think this wedding encapsulates that.
