Pippa arranged for a huge kata to be set up in her parents' garden.

That's a tent made of animal hides with an opening at the top to let out smoke, and used in Lapland by reindeer herders for cooking, smoking fish and as a shelter from heavy snow.

Modern versions are becoming increasingly popular in Britain and are often used for parties.

Pippa's kata reportedly cost about $5,000 to rent for the night, and was described as a canvas palace. It included and included a dance floor, lighting and seating for more than 100 people.
