What would a festival-themed wedding be without some live tunes? Parade your wedding party down the aisle with instruments, or hire live music to precede your walk to the altar. Or get creative, with different types of music playing at different times throughout the day (aka preceremony cocktails, dinner tunes, reception music and after-party beats).

If the budget allows, by all means, bring in some entertainment in carnival form. Not only will it contribute to the best wedding Instagram feed ever, but guests will never stop talking about how fun your celebration was. Don't have a big enough space? Attention grabbers like flash tattoo stations and food carts or trucks are more than enough to get the vibe going.

12. Tents

A grand tent makes for amazing photo ops—but it also makes for the perfect getaway after the "I dos." Steal a few minutes (and kisses!) together as a married couple and let this moment sink in before joining the celebration with friends and family. Later, open up the tent (or tents) with a few light bites set up for a fun lounge space.

Why not treat all of your guests to some flower child fashions? A DIY station (we recommend a florist on-hand to help out) is the perfect interactive experience to get the party started.
15. Eclectic Lounge
Heather Waraksa
You don't need fancy sofas and coffee tables to make an impressive lounge space. Plop a few Moroccan poufs and blankets down so guests can take a breather in between their favorite dance beats.

16. Naked Wedding Cake

A traditional fondant and sugar flower cake just won't do. Stack up those naked tiers and garnish with powdered sugar, berries and fresh blooms for the ultimate (but chill) wedding confection.

Coachella is all about having a good time and expressing your personal style. Have fun, pump some tunes, enjoy the company of your friends and family, and by all means, end the night with a colorful explosion of glitter (bonus points for the flower crown).
