Western Chic meets Summer Camp - Tented Wedding by at BC’s Blue Lake Camp
N&T’s wedding was a true summer celebration of love, friendship, and style. Even with the rain rolling through, the laughter never stopped. Their Western Chic Summer Camp Tented Wedding in British Columbia was full of energy, music, and meaning. Every detail reflected their vision of a relaxed yet refined weekend surrounded by the people who know them best.
A Lakeside Venue Built from the Ground Up
This private British Columbia property offered the perfect canvas for a tented celebration that felt equally part camp and countryside. With friends and family staying onsite in cozy cabins, the weekend unfolded like a retreat with relaxed mornings, spontaneous laughter, and evenings under glowing string lights. This build-from-scratch style of wedding has become increasingly popular in British Columbia, giving couples the creative freedom to design an event that feels deeply personal and completely their own.
Designing the Camp Brown Aesthetic
Inspired by a “summer camp, but make it chic” concept, the design balanced rustic textures with refined details. Rosie Leigh Events provided Event Design and Partial Planning, crafting a cohesive vision from concept to reality. Adding to the fun, Rosie Leigh Events designed the custom Camp Brown logo, which the couple featured on shirts and badges as a unique keepsake for their guests. Warm browns, creams, and natural wood tones created a timeless western palette, while soft floral arrangements brought an organic elegance to the tented space. The result was an atmosphere that felt intentional, cozy, and effortlessly cool.
Love what you see!? This wedding perfectly blended country chic charm with a playful camp theme, bringing all the best parts of camp nostalgia and elevated design. Set beside a peaceful lake, their day was filled with rustic touches and personality, from cowboy hats and pearl accents to personalized signage that made guests feel like they’d checked into “Camp Brown”.
A Celebration to Remember
From the first cheers to the final dance, every moment of this western chic tented wedding felt genuine and full of joy. It was the kind of celebration guests will be talking about for years to come.
Weathering the Storm
Despite the steady rain, the celebration never lost its shine. The tent (a must-have for unpredictable British Columbia weather!) became a warm haven where guests gathered, toasted, and celebrated love that clearly couldn’t be dampened.
The Couple’s First Dance
As the band began to play, Nena and Tristan shared their first dance under the glow of the tent lights. It was an easy, genuine moment, just the two of them, surrounded by the sound of the lake and the people they love most.
