If you have guests traveling from afar for your wedding, hotel accommodation should be high on your wedding planning list of priority however you could go for something a little different as far as guest accommodation goes if you struggle to get space need to where your guests need to stay. If your wedding is London based or Dorset based because of the sailing events taking place in Weymouth you need to think on this very early. Considering it is summer how about going for a little bit of a festival twist and think about hiring tipi or bell tent for your wedding. These days its very much "posh" camping!

These tents from Dorset based company Honey bells can be hired furnished or unfurnished sleeping up to 6 or 8 people. With a few different hiring prices and different packages available they really could be a perfect way of solving your accommodation worries in a very unique way also it can ensure your wedding isn't just one day but a whole weekend event and definitely something that will be remembered for a long time to come.

If transportation is a worry why not hire in transport that will ensure all your guests get to the venue on time. Whether that transport be just basic mini buses from a local hire company or you could treat your guests to a a stylish ride in a personalised wedding bus.

So, if you have the summer of 2012 in mind for your big day don't let the Olympics stand in your way. With a bit of thought it really doesn't need to be a problem and you can have everything on your list that you would like.
