CELEBRATING 50 ISSUES OF wed The Wed Show

From 2010 to 2015, we put on Cornwall’s biggest wedding event, The Wed Show, at various venues across the county, and readers attended in their hundreds!

Our Wedding

Having launched Wed together in 2007, Brendan and I tied the knot ourselves in 2012 – and, naturally, our wedding graced these pages!

Front Covers

I couldn’t possibly choose a favourite cover, but these stand out, partly thanks to the fun memories of shooting them.

WELCOME

Coastal Dreams

We’re so lucky to have one of the world’s most beautiful backdrops on our doorstep. Over the past 50 issues, we’ve explored miles of the Cornish coastline, shooting from Polhawn Fort in the east to Cot Valley in the west.

Babies at Work Our baby son and daughter both joined the Wed team on photo shoots when they were just a few weeks old – and proved quite a distraction!

Photo Shoot Frolics

From stubborn sea mist to high winds and heavy rain, the unpredictability of the Cornish weather has been a challenge at times during photo shoots. We’ve also had to shoot around bus loads of tourists, inquisitive cows, horses and dogs, as well as little girls requesting autographs from our model!

As I sit here to write my editor’s letter for this,

WIN 40% OFF WEDDING RINGS WITH JUSTIN DUANCE Looking for meaningful and utterly beautiful wedding jewellery?

With an ethos to be as environmentally friendly as possible, using recycled metal and fairly traded gemstones and diamonds, customers are welcome to be a part of the design process including using their own heirloom metal, beach sand or wood.

Lisa Marie Grigsby Photography

BEAUTY IN BLOOM “Wholehearted, beautiful and wildly elegant” is how talented floral designer Lisa Marie Grigsby of Down by the River Florals describes her approach to floristry – and it’s clear to see in her portfolio of captivating creations. Armed with a background in lifestyle photography and styling for Cornish artists and brands, Falmouth-based Lisa has also attended the esteemed Tallulah Rose Flower School, merging her natural affinity and passion for flowers with formal floristry training. Taking inspiration from her rural and coastal Cornish surrounds, foliage and texture play a key part in her designs, which utilise seasonal and local blooms wherever possible – with an emphasis on being foam and plastic-free. “I often incorporate foraged hedgerow elements, wildflowers and grasses to provide elegant, natural finishing touches and to create unique floral designs individual to the needs of the people I work with,” she says. Tailoring her services to suit your budget and individual style, Lisa marries her focus on sustainability and natural style with a warm and friendly manner, creating distinctively decorated weddings of the most naturally stunning and wildly romantic kind. downbytheriverflorals.co.uk

With solid yew bar tops, vintage light shades, a shou sugi ban back wall and plenty of copper details for some super-slick styling, it also has all the equipment a great bar needs, including a glass washer, post mix, double bar fridges and freezer. “We come fully stocked with beer, wine, cider, spirits, soft drinks and of course specialise in cocktails and mocktails,” says Jo, while husband Sam adds: “There’s no room here for warm, flat drinks in plastic cups. We provide the same slick and professional experience you get in a high-end bar.” On hand to provide the full drinks service from welcome drinks, wine and water on the tables, bubbles for the toast and a personalised bar and cocktail menu for every event, The Buffalo now offers twice as much availability but, if you’re keen for this very cool addition to join you at your wedding, it’s wise to get in quick. “We are booking up fast for 2020 and 2021!” says Jo. thebuffalo.co.uk

COUNTRY CHIC Trevenna, a beautiful cluster of barns set in 142 acres of Cornish countryside, has revamped its bar offerings to really bring the celebrations to your wedding day and night. The gorgeous bars in the Threshing Barn and the Farm House are stocked with Cornish gins, rums, IPAs, lagers and ciders, and bring a rusticluxe vibe to the venue. The introduction of the Long Bar sees a new outdoor pop-up bar for garden-inspired cocktails made with homegrown herbs, including elderflower in a gin cocktail, and fresh mint added to Cornish rum. This taste of the countryside isn’t restricted to the bar either, with the Trevenna-grown herbs used in freshly baked breads and wedding feasts. And once the night of celebrating is over, there’s good news when it comes to bedtime, thanks to the venue’s new oversized beds. The handmade reclaimed wooden beds throughout Trevenna are made to a bespoke design, and are the perfect end to a dreamy day. trevenna.co.uk

DRESSED TO IMPRESS

HOLLYWOOD GLAM

Justin Alexander, Elaine Rawlings Bridal Boutique

Sleek and structured styles are making a comeback, fusing an air of old school glamour with modern and high fashion luxe. Harking back to bygone fashions, the catwalks are currently chock-full of styles that ooze romance and sophistication while featuring a daring or theatrical edge. Think long silk shifts with portrait backs or subtle cut-outs and classic A-lines complete with illusion bodices and plunging V-necks. Ball gowns are one of the most-wanted silhouettes du jour, with voluminous (yet incredibly light) skirts paired with elegantly draping off-the-shoulder or dramatic puff sleeves, lace, high-necked corsets, and sweetheartshaped necklines. Or strike a similar tone with an eyecatching hand-pinned bustle added to the back of your skirt for extra volume.

Sophia Tolli, The Bridal House of Cornwall

Art deco designs epitomise glamour of course, such as form-fitting satin gowns with a sexy thigh-high slit and dropped waists with beaded lace or metallic accents.

Rachel Allan, The Bridal Studio

Complete the look with long gloves, a beaded jacket, bejewelled headband or vintage (Juliet cap) veil, Veronica Lake-style waves or a classic chignon – et voilà: your inner silver screen starlet receives a brilliantly distinct and modern makeover.

MODERN MINIMALISM With a rise in brides adopting the ‘less is more’ philosophy to their wedding wear, a resurgence in pared-back fashions has stormed the catwalks. It’s not a return to androgyny so much as a shift toward clean and classic simplicity, and while tailoring features heavily on the list, it plays with a softer version of previous more masculine suited styles. Blazers, bridal suits, trousers and wedding shorts feature fancy trains, feather trims, lace accents, beautiful belts and intricate embellishments (including lasercut petals, beadwork, and pearl, stud and crystal embroidery). Jumpsuits remain elegant in their design, including all-over lace, silk linen organza, draping and oneshouldered creations. If you wish to wear a dress but still express a more minimal look, cover up with a long (sheer or lace) sleeved column or A-line, or for some eye-catching contrast, consider monochrome and add a splash of black via a ribbon or belt, which will also provide a contemporary piece of personalisation.

offerings that are all the rage on the catwalks. Geometric, mosaic and all-over crochet lace (with or without sheer hems) smack of boho style, as do bridal separates and slinky slips. The most popular silhouette that perfectly lends itself to the look is the high-low hemline… or micro minis with tulle trains, which flaunt a casual feel and can be customised to suit. Imagine a daring short skirt with ruffled or feathered trimming, billowing tulle train or oversized back bow. Whether with minimal adornments or embellished with 3D florals, paisley patterns, feathers (especially cuff, hem and neckline trims), floral dégradé and colourful embroidery, it’s a wonderfully whimsical look.

BEST FACE FORWARD A new breed of facial is available in Cornwall. Drawing on ancient wisdom through to cutting-edge science, wed samples the latest ways to get the bridal glow words Rebecca Matthews

Every bride wants to accessorise their dream wedding dress with a radiant complexion. However, even if you’ve followed a religious skincare routine, survived on superfoods and imbibed gallons of water in the run-up to the big day, a professional treatment makes all the difference in ensuring your skin looks refreshed and gorgeously glowing – and the latest treatments available in Cornwall promise all that, and more. Thanks to a potent concoction of too much screen time, too little sleep and caffeine-fuelled days juggling deadlines and little people, my complexion felt in need of a little love – so I felt well placed to test their sculpting, smoothing, glow-getting claims.

BEST FACE FORWARD

The red-carpet-ready facial

NATURA BISSE DIAMOND LIFE INFUSION Every bit as decadent as it sounds, the Diamond Life Infusion Facial from luxury skincare brand Natura Bissé is an utterly sumptuous experience – with stellar results to match. The Spanish skincare giants have scooped all manner of accolades, including World’s Best Spa Brand in the 2018 World Spa Awards, as well as an A-list fan base – and now, having experienced some Natura Bissé bliss for myself, I can see why. Located within touching distance of the silken sands of Falmouth’s Gyllyngvase Beach, I began to slip into the serene seaside vibe of St Michaels Resort as I wove my path through gardens dotted with waxy palms, the salty breeze filling my lungs. Home to the largest hydrothermal pool in the south-west and the UK’s first Cornish Sea Salt steam room, the spa is something special. With a series of experience showers, a sauna, herbal steam room, heated loungers and day beds and, outside, a Finnish barrel sauna and red cedar hot tub overlooking the gardens, it’s impossible not to slip deeper into the resort’s calming coastal ambience. The Diamond Life Infusion Facial is one of the star treatments amidst an impressive menu, ranging from a Rhaussoul Mud Experience to Ishga Marine Detox and Relax treatment using the purest seaweed gel. Designed to plump the skin, minimise fine lines and instil a youthful glow, the innovative Natura Bissé treatment combines a series of techniques and products full of high-performing ingredients. The key steps included body alignment, a Diamond White cleansing ritual and a three-phase glycolic peel where my face was slathered in a potent solution rich in five alpha hydroxyl acids, which are incredibly effective in renewing and rejuvenating, creating a tingling ‘Champagne effect’ sensation. There was also an LED mask – a celebrity favourite that stimulates the production of collagen, plumping and brightening the skin – and a sculpting mask containing pearl and gold extracts. Covering my entire face, it hardened with a rubbery texture and cooling, relaxing sensation. The massage had four phases, including a magnetic ritual for intense product absorption, and a lifting massage to firm and shape the contours of the face. It was a facial unlike anything I’d experienced before – with so many steps, so many different yet relaxing sensations and so many layers of luxe products cocooning my skin, I was reluctant for it draw to a close. To say I was impressed with the results is an understatement. My tired, dull skin felt softer and positively glowed, while my cheeks were visibly less red. It was a luminosity that lasted for days, so much so that I ditched my usual make-up coverage over the days that followed. What’s more, after 90 minutes of A-list-worthy pampering, I felt calm, uplifted and, had I been a bride, oh-so ready for my ultimate redcarpet moment. stmichaelsresort.com

The spiritual facial

ZONE FACE LIFT Tucked away in the Luxulyan Valley, Becky Williams’ studio looks out across a paddock where ponies and alpaca roam, with acres of lush woodland beyond. It is a tranquil spot to immerse yourself in the serenity of nature and the wisdom of the ancients – not to mention some impressive aesthetic improvements. Becky is the first person in Cornwall to offer the Zone Face Lift, an innovative new treatment that goes far beyond the usual cleanse, mask and massage you usually expect of a facial. Garnering praise from top beauty editors and celebs alike, its founder Ziggie Bergman was inspired by her training with Native American shamans to devise this extraordinary blend of ancient and modern techniques – including facial reflexology, Japanese Face Lift massage, native American healing herbs, crystals and gua sha – that focuses on lifting the spirits as much as lifting the contours and softening the lines of the face. The launch of the treatment in Cornwall is timely; as we increasingly look beyond the modern world and its psyche-draining technology to embrace something ‘other’ – and crystals, chakra sprays and magic-inspired potions become the beauty industry’s obsession du jour – we’re seeing holistic beauty and ancient techniques take precedence over more invasive treatments such as Botox and fillers. The experience began with a thorough cleansing, after which Becky wafted some smudge sticks, a rich scent filling the room to instil positive energy. Lavishing my face with Ziggie’s amethyst-infused Facial Elixir, rich in nourishing botanical ingredients, she began the facial reflexology and massage, gently making her way around my face, smoothing and kneading, pressing methodically on pressure points. It was deeply relaxing. The bliss continued as she rolled a jade sculpting and lifting massager across my skin followed by the cooling sensation of a rose quartz wand. As Becky explains, while the treatment stimulates collagen and elastin, sculpting and tightening the skin, the reflexology allows her to explore the correlation between points on the face and systems in the body, and the issues she cited for me made perfect sense. When I looked in the mirror, there was something renewed about my face – it had lost its tension. My features looked more defined, my skin tauter and softer, my eyes brighter. And I felt different: it was more than the easy feeling of relaxation I’ve enjoyed after other treatments. I felt calmer, more positive: as if the tight coil inside me earlier that morning had been gently unwound and my perspective realigned. It was a blissed-out feeling that lasted long after I’d left that tucked-away corner of Cornwall. Offering inner calm and outer radiance, it’s the perfect treatment for brides-to-be. A single treatment lasts 75 minutes but for optimum results, a course of treatments is recommended. Becky offer the following packages: Intensive – three treatments within one week Mini-course – six regular treatments Full ZFL programme – 12 regular treatments clinicalreflexologycornwall.co.uk

face the day Not just a calming face mask to help you unwind in the weeks leading up to your wedding, the Bloomtown Soothing Mask will be great for your skin too. Winner of ‘Best Natural Face Mask’ in the Beauty Shortlist Awards, its allergen-free formula means it works wonders on sensitive skin. Handcrafted in Cornwall, the blue bentonite clay mask contains plant glycerine, so it won’t dry out your skin like traditional clay masks, and includes indigo leaf, which has been proven to improve skin conditions such as psoriasis. All natural with no chemical nasties added, the addition of coconut extract and fermented radish root will ensure your skin is left moisturised and glowing, ready for your all-eyes-on-you moment. bloomtown.co.uk

keep your cool Whether you’re marrying in the cosy depths of winter or having an al fresco celebration in the summer, you’ll need a deodorant that works all day long. Nivea has launched a new anti-stain deodorant – which is pretty important if you’re donning a white dress! – and with its unique caring skin conditioners, it’s gentle on underarms. With notes of champaca flower, mandarin leaves, Damascus rose and golden orchid, it has a pleasant scent that’s subtle enough not to overpower your perfume. And thanks to its 48-hour protection, you won’t need to worry about reapplying on your big day – plus it’ll stand up to a long night of dancing! nivea.co.uk

mist-ifying It’s important to keep cool and hydrated come W-day – especially for your skin! Olay’s new mists are the ideal burst of hydration, leaving your skin with a noticeable glow, to hydrate and soothe you on-the-go. Ultra-lightweight and a perfect size for popping in your ‘on-the-day emergencies’ bag, choose from Energising or Calming, both of which are packed with hydrators and botanical super-ingredients including vitamin C, bergamot, aloe leaf and chamomile. With a fresh fragrance and promising to leave your skin looking bright and healthy, you’ll be feeling revitalised and refreshed, whatever excitement your wedding day brings.

Holly fell in love with millinery while studying Costume Design at the London College of Fashion, and now brings a passion and sense of fun to her beautiful creations. Based in a studio near the sea on the Roseland Peninsula, Holly’s inspired by the countryside and coastline around her, as well as a love of vintage fashion. “My work is fun and colourful, embodying an effortless elegance that is simple yet stylish,” says Holly. “I borrow something from every era in time from 1920s decadence and 30s glamour to the fun of the 50s and 60s chic. My designs encompass each era and combined with my distinctive style, make each piece truly timeless.” However subtle or bold your headwear game is, there’s a piece to inspire and flatter. From daring and embellished flower crowns and intricate headbands to sweet and delicate hair vines, Holly’s creations are guaranteed to perfectly add to your bridal style, imbuing a feeling of vintage class with a touch of fashionable whimsy. hollyyoung.co.uk Hannah Larkin Photography

JUSTIN DUANCE Justin Duance’s foray into jewellery-making first began in his bedroom, fresh from art college after finishing a degree in Jewellery and Silversmithing at the Sir John Cass Faculty of Art. Moving back to Cornwall, Justin opened his workshop in the west of the county, and hasn’t looked back. His captivating jewellery is timeless, beautiful and rich in personal meaning, from textured designs to exquisite creations studded with diamonds and gemstones. His designs evoke an elemental feel by casting precious metals in beach sand or combining them with salvaged woods, with each piece changing subtly over time to mirror the way the sea shapes our coastline. His team also has a sharp focus on ethics, using recycled

metals, salvaged woods and ethically sourced jewels. “My mission was always to create interesting contemporary jewellery at an affordable price,” says Justin. “I want to create treasures that are treasured by their owners because the pieces mean something personal to them.” Personalisation can occur at practically every stage of the making process and, whether you wish to remodel a treasured heirloom or commission a wedding band from scratch, every element is carefully considered to reflect you and your relationship, with no two pieces ever being the same – even if you opt for something ready-made. justind.co.uk

Kate will also design a bespoke piece, whether it’s a hair vine, hair pins or a beautiful bracelet, to perfectly complete your bridal ensemble. blushingflamingos.co.uk

Headdon’s bridal designs are perfect for the fashion-forward bride who values attention to detail and the highest quality bridal wear. Inspired by the Cornish landscape, Claire – who trained at Falmouth University and the London College of Fashion – places utmost importance on using gorgeous quality silks that feel heavenly against your skin, while also being organic, eco-friendly and fair trade. “I am incredibly passionate about promoting eco-friendly products and processes within the textile industry, choosing natural organic fibres over synthetic ones and sourcing locally wherever I can,” she says. Her passion for all things bridal was sparked as a child, with dreams of being surrounded by the finest, flowing silks and laces; a dream she lives every day now from her Falmouth studio, creating “gowns you can treasure for a lifetime”. She will help you to choose detailing for your dress including elements such as lace overlays, flowing silk skirts and delicate straps to create something that is so perfectly ‘you’. “As a dressmaker, it is incredibly exciting to see a bride put her own mark on her wedding gown, adding a different neckline, using a different lace trim or adding layers to a beautiful skirt,” she says. clairelheaddon.com

feature | THE SHY BRIDE GUIDE

the shy bride guide How do you deal with all eyes on you when you’re an introvert? We’ve enlisted some expert advice for each element of your wedding, so you can enjoy your day your way words Lucy Higgins It’s a day you’ve been looking forward to for months, even years, so why do you feel nervous about your wedding day? First off, it’s important to remember that everyone feels nervous in the runup, but if you’re a naturally shy person, that feeling of anxiety can skyrocket. Don’t worry – not only is it perfectly natural but there are also ways to help you cope with your shyness come W-day.

feature | THE SHY BRIDE GUIDE

“Given that shyness has to do with self-conscious concerns (worrying about what others might think of us), any situation in which a person is exposed to the scrutiny of others can be challenging for someone who is shy or socially anxious,” says Robert Edelmann, a Chartered Psychologist and author of ‘Coping With Blushing’ and ‘The Psychology of Embarrassment’. “As the bride or groom at a wedding, you are truly on public display – but remember it’s with friends and family, which is easier than strangers.” The general feeling for shy and socially anxious people is often one of fear that others will judge them in a negative way. But as we often don’t know what others are thinking, this fear is based on guesses, such as ‘I’m not doing this right’ or ‘They can see I’m trembling’. “Remind yourself, these are only guesses,” says Gillian Butler, fellow of the British Psychological Society and author of ‘Overcoming Social Anxiety and Shyness’ and ‘Manage Your Mind’. “Guesses are often wrong, and at a wedding people are on your side. Many people will know what it means to be anxious at your own wedding, and will sympathise not criticise.”

THE LEAD-UP While worrying in advance is common, try to nip this in the bud. “It tends to lead to horrible predictions that make you feel worse, and that are based not on reality but on what you fear might happen – on guesses,” says Gillian. “Turn your attention instead towards something more calming, peaceful or trouble-free. Imagine being in a beautiful place, or that you are looking back on this event from many years later.” It’s also easy to imagine you’re alone in your feelings, but anxiety in social situations is equally common in men and women, so some aspects of a wedding may be difficult for both of you, and some harder for one or the other. “Talk about this ahead of time with your partner,” says Gillian. “It is likely both of you will have some degree of nervousness, but that these will not overlap completely.” Rachael, who married Dan last summer, found talking things through useful. “I was worried about the first dance as I hated the idea of everyone watching, but I knew Dan was excited about that part,” she says. “But when I told him, he shared the bits he was anxious about – the vows, which I wasn’t nervous about at all – and it made me realise there were bits I was really excited for. It helped me focus on the parts of the day I was confident about, instead of the scary bits, and give him a helping hand where needed. On the wedding day, I was having too much fun to be too nervous!” Another piece of advice in the run-up to the day is to stay organised – make lists and delegate. Let your suppliers do what you have hired them to do; you’ll find the day will run to plan, which will help prevent any unforeseen situations arise that you don’t know how to react to.

THE MORNING OF… You’ve done all the hard work, now it’s time to enjoy it! Have a timeline for the day so you know what you need to do and when, and task someone else with keeping you on track. “Having the support of close friends and family is so important at times like this, but keep the numbers around you in the last few hours to a small trusted number – no drama queens or big jokers!” says Nicola from The Guild of Cornish Celebrants (cornishcelebrants.co.uk). There are no rules about who to spend the morning with, so have a think about who’s your biggest supporter. “Perhaps a sibling, parent, cousin, friend or godparent – keep them in sight, sitting close to you,” says Gillian. “Get them to help you in tricky moments. Tell them what you might worry about, and put your heads together to work out how best they can be a good support.” And one more sage piece of advice from Nicola. “A little glass of champagne is fine but don’t go overboard on the alcohol before the ceremony!”

WALKING DOWN THE AISLE When it comes to the ceremony, it’s not just the bride who’s nervous. “Grooms can feel quite self-conscious when waiting for their bride to arrive,” says Nicola.

“We advise that they make their way to the front with their groomsmen just before the bride’s entrance, as this cuts down the time they are centre of attention.” If you’re nervous about the walk down the aisle, remember you don’t have to do it. You could already be at the front of the venue with your fiancé when everyone arrives, or you could do what one bride, Serena, did, and have every single guest follow you down the aisle! Or, if you do want to walk down the aisle in a traditional way, take Nicola’s advice. “Send your bridesmaids down the aisle first then follow fairly closely after – that way you feel more of a group,” she says. “And as celebrants we always make sure there is a glass of water for both bride and groom at the front as well as lots of tissues! Sometimes just showing the couple that we are equipped is enough to stop them worrying.”

VOWS Keep your vows short if you are nervous. “We never expect our couples to remember their vows; we provide them on card for them to read or they can repeat them after us. We can also make the vows into questions so they have less to say, and another way of lessening the amount they have to say is to amalgamate the vows and ring exchange wording,” says Nicola. “If we know our couples are nervous, we talk about it beforehand with them, and suggest they stand so they’re looking at each other or at the celebrant rather than facing their guests,” says Nicola. You could also have chairs set up so you can sit down, which will lessen the feeling that you’re being stared at!

SPEECHES This is one element of a wedding that’s almost guaranteed to make every speechgiver nervous… and even more so if you’re prone to shyness. But does this mean you should skip it? “Given that it is the bride and groom’s ‘big day’, they will no doubt want to fully engage in all the elements and not miss out because they are shy,” says Robert. “Preparation is everything and this is doubly true for the shy and socially anxious. Have at least one rehearsal, and go through everything with a friend or family member,” he says. “Write out every aspect of any speeches, and rehearse them.” Being able to stand in front of a mirror and practise your speech means that, come the big day, it won’t feel so nerve-wracking. And feel free to look at your spouse, parent,

WORKING THE GROOM Style tips for the man of the moment IN THE PINK

words Lucy Higgins

Real men wear pink, as the saying goes, so why leave the prettiest shades to the ladies? Expect to see a lot more grooms in shades of pink or purple, which look particularly striking at summer weddings, or those with a garden party aesthetic. Avoid vibrant hues such as raspberry or hot pink, and instead choose pastel-based pinks or lilacs to take full advantage of the trend. These will be complemented beautifully by greys, while navy

and blush or champagne pink are a perfect pairing.

A TOUCH OF VINTAGE As you’ll see from these pages, getting married today doesn’t mean you’re limited to a run-of-the-mill black suit. As the wedding industry fully embraces the importance of adding an individual twist to your day, groom’s fashion options are growing – and it’s thanks to companies such as The Vintage Suit Hire Company which is now available at The Wedding Hub in Plymouth. Born from a struggle to find suits for their own wedding, owners Tom and Jessica launched the brand – and haven’t looked back. With an aim to “liberate grooms from dull, traditional options”, The Vintage Suit Hire Company’s range of 100% wool suits, along with a selection of eclectic accessories, means you can have fun planning your wedding wear. The couple’s background in fashion and design “has allowed us to create a range of men’s suits that can be dressed up to be very formal, or dressed down for a more fun and alternative look”, explains Jessica. Available in a choice of three stylish designs – The Southwold, a striking blue three-piece wool suit with contrasting brown buttons; The Harrogate, a grey suit with a herringbone pattern; and The Burford, a threepiece brown suit perfect for rural events or a more folky informal look – there’s a series of dapper options for the big day, which can be accessorised in so-you style. You can choose to buy your own suit off the rack, hire it for the wedding, or even get one made to measure. Whichever you choose, you know you’re in for one hot-to-trot look to rock down the aisle! thewedhub.com

From wine tasting and private cinema nights to more esoteric experiences like bushcraft and horror-themed day trips, here’s our top pick of stag party offerings close to home…

MAN OF THE MOMENT

For outdoor adventures…

7th Rise Offering a variety of wild outdoor experiences in Cornwall, 7th Rise’s brilliant preoccupation with ‘rewilding modern man’ makes for a unique and totally unforgettable stag party. The brainchild of nature enthusiast and star of Channel 4’s ‘Hugh’s Three Hungry Boys’, Thom Hunt, 7th Rise has grown since its creation on the grounds of a 300-year old stone woodsman’s cottage in 2012. It’s evolved into a ‘woodland wonderland’ comprising a huge firepit, hunting lodge, tree house, boat house, outdoor kitchen, feast table, indoor barn, hammock area and herb and veg patch. Hosting all-inclusive outdoor adventure and bushcraft weekends including five guided sessions by expert instructors, private and exclusive hire of the stunning woodland venue with accommodation, and all food and equipment, pick from a brawn-enhancing array of activities to individually suit. Learn bushcraft survival with axes, fires and knives as you tap into your inner Bear Grylls; brace yourself for a stint of Canadian canoeing on the River Fal; enhance your culinary prowess with foraging and cooking; opt for a competitive session of archery; or go complete caveman with full deer carcass butchery. After an adrenalised day of self-wilding, tuck into the freshest al fresco feast before bedding down in your pick of accommodation including a tree house, cottage, potting shed, shepherd’s hut and hunting lodge, for a starlit end to an awe-inspiring day. 7thrise.co.uk/Stag-Parties

For top-tasting tipples…

Trevibban Mill Tucked away in the spectacular heart of the Cornish countryside near Padstow, Trevibban Mill provides the perfect spot to slow down the pre-marital celebrations as you sample some award-winning wines at a stunning venue. Select a session of tutored wine tasting as you knock back no less than eight of the working vineyard’s finest offerings (with light lunch options also available); or make it a night-time event of selftesting, courtesy of Trevibban’s tasting notes and wines being predelivered to a destination of your choice. So whether you wish to wander the wild flowers and explore the venue and vineyards with a guided tour or opt for a more intimate wine-tasting experience in the comfort of your own home as a delicious party-starter, Trevibban’s tantalising offerings are sure to hit every stag’s sweet spot. trevibbanmill.com

Particularly popular for stags is the immense inflatable Aquapark, which is home to fun features including extreme trampolines, monkey bars, slides and swings; or book an exclusive Grand Prix at the all-weather outdoor track at Kartworld.

For quality downtime…

Not just for girls, if you fancy slowing things down a little and relishing some pamper time, then pay a visit to the new Alchemist Spa, where a range of treatments are available. Most treatments are vegan-friendly and feature products exclusively from the Natural Spa Factory in Bath that are jam-packed with natural and uber-nourishing ingredients – helping you to polish up ahead of the day of “I dos”. Continue the kickback vibe with a stint in the hotel’s new Neo Cinema, where a classic dinner served with expertly muddled mojitos can be followed by a blockbuster-filled film night. Seating 30 on snug sofas and armchairs, you can even stake sole use of the cinema for a private screening of your favourite film – or stage a superhero marathon as you sink into your comfy surrounds for the evening.

Hell In A Cell If fright nights are your thing, then Bristol’s Hell In A Cell was made for you.

In short, the 19th century former underground cells in the dark depths of Bristol’s Old Crown Courts is the lair of a chainsaw-wielding maniac ‘Pigface’ who hoods, handcuffs, ‘kidnaps’ and imprisons each visitor who must then work in teams under petrified pressure to escape. Lasting an hour-anda-half, you will enter the ‘deliberately dramatic’ set of a horror escape film (think ‘Saw’, ‘Hostel’ and ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’) where you’ll use clues and puzzle solving to elude captivity before

Tucked away in a scenic corner of Cornwall, surrounded by mile upon mile of lush meadows and just a short drive to the sea, Trenderway is a dreamy spot for an elopement or intimate wedding. From the atmosphere of the historic Cornish stone barn, twinkling with fairy lights, to a sun-spilled feast in the scenic grounds, abloom with colour, the venue offers rural romance in abundance – not to mention a dedicated approach to sustainability. What’s more, the dog-friendly venue will ensure your furry friends receive the warmest of welcomes! Here, eye-catching floral arrangements popping with sunny yellows, pinks and reds set the mood for a summer wedding scene, complemented by a shimmering gold tablescape and a dazzling cake. The gorgeously dressed wedding party is completed in style, the canine members donning floral dog collars and tucking into their specially made ‘pup-cakes’!

WHAT GOES AROUND Create an intimate ceremony feel, whatever the size of your guest list, by placing your guests’ chairs surrounding you. Again, this symbolises the infinite but also helps involve all your guests whatever their stature at the wedding, so it’s not just the key players who are at the front. Circles can also be tweaked into elegant spiral shapes. This way, the bride and groom can walk past every chair to get to their central point, creating a beautiful journey where they can be admired and congratulated by each and every guest en route.

SWEET SOUNDS What can be more spectacular and awakening for the ears than the beautiful sounds of a choir rising from within your ceremony as you finish saying your vows or stroll hand in hand down a petal-strewn aisle? Choirs, from gospel and jazz to barbershop and children’s, men’s or women’s, will help create a unique atmosphere and there’s plenty of styles to choose from to achieve just the right sound for your celebration. Hide them away from view and watch your guests’ jaws drop when the spine-tingling first note echoes around you all.

SURPRISE SURPRISE! This one’s for the best girls or best men: turn the surprise on the bride and groom and, on leaving the ceremony, ask the other guests to help celebrate their newly married status with colourful pom-poms to fit their theme and chants of their new names, cheerleader-style!

BLOWING BUBBLES A hidden bubble machine that fires into action during or after your ceremony will create the most magical of scenes. Light, ethereal bubbles are just the thing for a graceful ceremony. Watch your littlest guests try to catch them and make sure you let your photographer know what’s happening so they can capture the beauty of the bubbles. Or why not hire a bubble performer who will wow your guests will bubble sculptures of

all shapes and sizes that magically move through the air, or even put your guests inside giant bubbles!

MAKE IT PERSONAL Keep it personal by asking someone you know to lead the ceremony. Although it won’t be legally binding (unless they happen to be a registrar), you can still ask your best friend or family member to officiate without the need to be ordained by holding a humanist celebration. You’ll have to pop to the registry office Barney Walters Photography

to make it official, but it means for your ceremony any of your nearest and dearest can do the honours. A humanist ceremony has the added benefits of being allowed outside, which opens up a whole host of dreamlike and romantic options. What could be more surprising and wow-worthy for your guests than a ceremony conducted by Mum or Dad, tucked away in the woods to celebrate your already-married status? Now that’s a wow moment! wedmagazine.co.uk

POP GOES THE PARTY Your welcome drinks set the tone for your so-you celebrations, so think creatively and bring a splash of something special to your guests

The importance of your welcome drink is all too often overlooked, with a glass of something tacked onto the end of a catering package. But the humble welcome drink is worthy of thought and planning. Doing so much more than just stopping your guests getting bored while you have your photographs taken, your welcome drink will not only make your guests feel well looked after but should set the tone of your whole reception and give them a taste of things to come. We’ve asked Jo Newman – who heads up the team at The Buffalo (thebuffalo.co.uk), which offers two travelling bars in the form of 1962 and 1964 converted Airstreams – for her advice on how to welcome your guests in the most delicious way…

Deliciously Cornish Let us whet your appetites with some fabulous food and drinks from across the Duchy – perfect for adding a local flavour to your wedding words Lucy Higgins

One of the best elements of our county that we like to shout about from the rooftops is its wealth of tasty and tantalising foodstuffs. From traditional ice cream and cream teas (jam first!) to the more exotic offerings of limoncello and sparkling wine, your wedding is the perfect place to showcase them. Taking inspiration from the fanciest clifftop picnic, we’ve picked our top-tasting items from the county, so you can wow your guests with a Cornish feast. And don’t worry, we’ve got the all-important drinks covered, too…

THE SCONES Baker Tom bakertom.co.uk

What could be more quintessentially Cornish than an authentic cream tea, with wholesome springy scones and their fresh-out-of-the-oven aroma filling the air? Serve them with generous slathers of juicy jam and big dollops of Cornish clotted cream as a mid-afternoon treat, or even a late night feast for the dancing divas at your big day. Freshly baked each night in Redruth, Tom’s business – which started out with him making two loaves of bread in his mum’s kitchen – is now booming and producing the county’s tastiest baked goods. Also known for its saffron buns and organic bread loaves, Baker Tom’s selection of bakery deliciousness gets a big homemade tick at any wedding – add hunks of crusty bread to your cheeseboard to bring that freshly baked flavour.

Camel Valley ‘Cornwall’ Brut camelvalley.com A wedding without bubbly is like a dance floor without dad dancing – yes, it exists, but where’s the fun in it? And with a range of champagnes and sparkling wines now made in the UK, why not take it one step closer to home and take advantage of an award-winning fizz made on the doorstep? The ‘Cornwall’ Brut made by family-run Camel Valley is a world-class sparkling wine and has won a cork-popping

family since 1905, it’s hard to find a more Cornish business than Moomaid.

Seyval is fresh, fruity and vibrant, making Cornish tipple for raising a toast.

Its ice cream is as legendary as ‘The Mermaid of Zennor’, the tale of a young Cornishman lured into the sea by the beauty of a mermaid, for which the little Cornish village is famed. Today you’re more likely to be seduced by Daisy, Primrose and Sid Vicious – just three of the cows that help make the ice cream, also known as the Moomaids of Zennor. When it comes to flavours, you can choose everything from pistachio to banana, with our particular pick being ‘Shipwreck’, a combination of sea salt caramel and honeycomb. Choose a selection of mini tubs to serve at your wedding – ideal for a post-ceremony cool-down in the garden – or order the big tubs and set up your own ice cream stand.

THE CHOCOLATE

Kernow Chocolate kernowchocolate.co.uk For those with a sweet tooth, chocolate is the ultimate treat. You might decide to give out individual chocolates as favours, serve them alongside coffee later in the evening, or delight your guests with a smorgasbord of your favourite sweet treats. We love the range of flavours at Kernow Chocolate, from Caramel Sea Salt and Chilli & Lime to dessert-inspired tastes including Apple Crumble and Toasted Tea Cake – ideal for a round-the-firepit s’mores session as part of your evening celebrations. And, thanks to its uber-cool packaging featuring top spots from around the county, it’ll adorn your tabletops with style too. A family business based in St Eval, the chocolate is just perfect for your out-of-town guests to take away as a sweet reminder of the coolness of Cornwall.

THE CIDER

Polgoon Elderflower Cider polgoon.com

THE CHEESE

Cornish Blue cornishcheese.co.uk Ah, the humble cheeseboard. It’s been delighting us at picnics and drinks receptions since forever, and we are so glad to see it as a staple of many a wedding feast. And what cheeseboard would be complete without some Cornish Blue? A full-flavoured sweet and creamy cheese of distinctive character, it’s made from cow’s milk on a Bodmin Moor farm, and since its inception in 2001 has quickly become a mainstay of Cornish gastronomy. Don’t just take our word for it: Cornish Blue has won multiple awards, including a Super Gold at last year’s World Cheese Awards in Norway, putting it in the top 78 cheeses in the world! Grab a wheel and delight your guests (it’ll go well with crackers or a chunk of Baker Tom’s bread) or add it as a tier to an alternative cheese cake.

Somerset may be the spiritual home of cider, but Polgoon, a vineyard and orchard in Penzance, is working hard to put Cornwall on the cider map. Our favourite cider for a summer’s evening is Polgoon’s Elderflower Cider, a lightly sparkling drink that’s so refreshing and drinkable. Alongside the clean, dry apple flavour, there’s a lighter and more floral undertone that comes from the infusion of elderflower. The result? A crisp and revitalising cider singing with flavours from the Cornish hedgerows. Pear, berry and apple flavours are also available, so you could mix it up and give your guests a choice.

THE GIN

The Wrecking Coast Clotted Cream Gin thewreckingcoastdistillery.com Gin is a sure-fire favourite at weddings, and we’re delighted at the number of Cornish gins we’ve been able to add to our list of top tipples. One that’s got the Cornwall factor in spades is The Wrecking Coast’s gin, which is distilled with clotted cream by the Tintagel-based team to give a distinctively delicious flavour. Using 12 botanicals, the liquor is rested before the hero ingredient – the clotted cream – is added, together with Cornish natural spring water. Sumptuously smooth on the palette, its blend of velvety rich flavour with traditional notes of juniper makes for a luxurious drink that tastes like an authentic Cornish summer. What more could you want?

THE DIGESTIF

St Ives Liquor Co stivesliquor.co The brainchild of three local brothers, St Ives Liquor Co started life as a gin brand, with ingredients foraged from the moors and clifftops between Zennor and St Ives. Roll on a few years, and there are multiple liquors and liqueurs now lining their (and our!) shelves, with the newest a riviera-inspired range of ’cellos. Limoncello is a bright liqueur bursting with citrus flavour, Arancello is made from zesty oranges, and Limecello brings together the tongue-tingling taste of lime, while Pompelmocello sings with the bittersweet taste of pink grapefruit, made using the whole fruit, not just the rind. Enjoy it as a digestif after the wedding feast, as a syrupy ice-cold alternative to champagne for your wedding toast, or incorporate it into the speeches for some Cornish-Italian flavour.

THE JUICE

Cornish Orchards Apple Juice cornishorchards.co.uk Rather than overlooking your soft drinks and leaving the non-drinkers with the tantalising choice of warm squash or water, indulge them with a thoroughly Cornish offering of locally made apple juice.

GREAT CORNISH MENU

For your guests, food is a key ingredient of a good wedding. How many times have you heard a wedding reviewed in the light of the tenderness of the meat, the delicious array of side dishes or the sheer decadence of the puddings? We’re big ambassadors of nailing your wedding menu here at Wed – that’s why we’ve dedicated our pages to a food feature in each and every one of our past 50 issues.

Al Fresco Feasts There’s something about eating in the open air – from a gourmet barbecue to an afternoon tea, this shoot features the most scrumptious summer flavours for serving al fresco.

Serving delectable food is the ultimate way of delighting your guests, bringing people together and creating some of the most cherished memories of the day. It is also another way of pouring your personalities into your wedding. After all, marrying in Cornwall, there’s no excuse not to serve something special. The county’s food scene has flourished over the past decade, earning international acclaim for the quality of its produce and the innovation of its chefs, turning the county into something of a gastro hotspot. Alongside this rise to culinary prominence, we’ve seen the wedding industry explode with creativity as couples seek to stamp their celebrations with as much individuality as possible. This all adds up to an extensive choice for the modern couple when it comes to planning their wedding menu. Where the choice might once have been soup or prawn cocktail, roast chicken or roast beef, profiteroles or cheesecake – today you can treat your guests to exquisite fine dining, a fresh-fromthe-grills wood-fired feast, a gourmet barbecue, exotic fusion banquet, afternoon tea – or almost anything that tickles your foodie fancy. Over the years, we’ve teamed up with some of Cornwall’s finest caterers to help shape your menu, offering you creative, crowd-pleasing and downright delicious inspiration. Lucy Turner and Sarah Wright of The Round Kitchen launched their catering business back in 2007 – the same year Wed made its debut – and they have seen wedding catering transform in these years. “Whether you’re seeking something sophisticated or laid-back, it’s a really exciting time to be planning a wedding menu in Cornwall,” says Lucy. “We’ve constantly tried to innovate and extend our offerings to couples, from curing our own salmon and pork and baking our own breads to pairing our dishes with complementary drinks we’ve designed from Cornish producers.” As a county, Cornwall is leading the way in sustainable dining – and this is a key consideration for The Round Kitchen. “We’ve now raising our own grass-fed lambs, lovingly reared to ensure the best quality meat as well as hardly any food miles or wastage,” say Lucy. From seafood platters at Watergate Bay to gourmet picnics on Marazion beach, Lucy and Sarah have served up sensational dining ideas at some of Cornwall’s most sublime spots. Here, they share some of their favourite dishes, brimming with Cornish ingredients, for wowing the crowds. Dig in!

WHAT’S BEHIND YOU?

Toby Lowe Photography

CONFECTION PERFECTION

To best appreciate all the skill and energy that’s gone into your cake, what stands behind it should enhance and complement it. Wall: Is your white cake against a white wall? Don’t make it invisible! Add some foliage, a backdrop of soft ribbons, a statement room divider, or a framework draped in fabric to enable your cake to be seen clearly by your guests and your photographer. Windows: If you’d like your cake to be more than a silhouette, it should not be placed in front of a bright window. Importantly, avoiding window placement also reduces the risk of your cake melting in the heat or being affected by condensation.

Clutter: There are all sorts of random things that end

FURNITURE FOCUS A quick and simple way to create a focal point in your sweet station is to choose your display furniture to suit your wedding style. We have seen reclaimed wood, custom copper, antique desks, agricultural equipment, acrylic posts, machine parts and tree trunks all used perfectly to showcase delicious desserts. Feel free to ditch the white tablecloth, but if you do opt for a statement cloth – be it sparkle, texture, linen or lace – ensure it reaches the floor.

SIZE MATTERS Big is not always beautiful in the matter of cake displays. Your display furniture must serve its purpose, and that is to support the cake you will cut, not overwhelm it. You do not need a six-foot trestle table for a three-tier cake, and having to lean across a huge table with a cake knife is not an attractive look. Neither is standing with your back to your family while you do the honours, so try to be placed alongside or behind the cake, and no more than a foot or so away from the edge you will be cutting.

STAND OUT Like the frame of a picture or the heel of a shoe, your cake stand literally elevates and stylishly completes your wedding cake. There are so many options when it comes to stands, with materials such as glass, stone and wood, and styles including glitzy, minimalist, custommade or with fresh flowers and foliage. Your cake maker will be able to advise you on the style, size and weight requirements and, while your venue may include a cake stand, ask for dimensions and an up-to-date photo of its condition to confirm its suitability.

LIGHT IT UP You guests can only appreciate what they can see. It might seem rather obvious, but lighting does

the art of love Bring a unique creative element to your wedding with bespoke artwork to wow and impress your guests words Hannah May

“There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people,” said Vincent van Gogh, and where better to celebrate the art of loving people than your wedding? Whether you wish to use your venue as a gallery to exhibit your favourite artworks or infuse some art via your stationery, décor, entertainment or creative keepsakes, design a day that’s eye-catchingly distinctive with these creative artists…

Iona Sanders Creativity is as much a fibre of Iona Sanders’ being as the Cornish landscapes in which she was born and raised. Defined by a deep connection with her natural surrounds, Iona’s artworks have a wonderfully raw and signature quality. “I am hugely inspired by the area I’ve grown up in,” says Iona. “My work is influenced mainly by this and my domestic environment. The majority of my work is still life, although I am increasingly showing my landscape and life paintings, and I work in mixed media with an emphasis on line and colour.” Having painted her entire life and been immersed in a culture of creativity – “My mum paints and my dad carves in wood, restores and makes,” she says – Iona’s evocative work takes a variety of forms while maintaining individual keynotes of style: vibrant, organic, original and graceful. “I have done numerous commissions for weddings and engagements and also wedding invitations, especially landscapes of places couples got engaged or married, or a painting with their bouquet incorporated into it,” she says. “With the invitation, I take a brief from the couple and paint a picture on card and they then scan it,” she explains. “Then I get the painting framed for them.” What better way to enshrine a sense of place than to commission an original piece of artwork imbued with character that will illustrate your love story on your wedding day, and for years to come? instagram.com/ionasanders

Knots & Kisses Set the tone and theme of your day by choosing uniquely designed stationery that creates a consistent and artistic look in everything from the save the dates to the table plan. “I think it’s really important to capture what is personal to the couple in their wedding stationery,” says Nikki Sherriff from Knots & Kisses. “One of the services I’m really proud to offer is bespoke hand painting. I can paint or draw something that is completely customised to the couple and adds a really personal touch to their wedding day.” From something simple like adding a venue illustration to one of Knots & Kisses’ existing house collections to creating a fully hand-painted bespoke concertina, with borders, venue paintings and small illustrations, Nikki has added illustrations of pets, seaside themes with shells and deckchairs, and woodland

immersed in nature. This led to a career in horticulture, which I draw upon in nature generally, plants specifically, and I’m entirely self-taught.” Working from her cottage in rural north Cornwall, Jess uses flowers and leaves to create botanical artworks by impressing the plants into clay and then casting the impression as a plaster slab. “There are a number of variables that I can control during the process, which allows each panel to evolve quite organically. Each impression is truly unique,” she explains. “The plaster records the patterns and textures of the flowers with such delicacy, and creates beautiful natural art pieces.” Immortalise your bridal bouquet as an original piece of artwork, or adorn your wedding venue with Jess’ floral creations as part of your décor. “I’m currently working on larger pieces that work both separately and in conjunction with each other.” With some of these art pieces available to hire, they help to create a really individual feel at weddings with a natural, botanical theme. “It’s also possible to have your floral theme used in panels to decorate your venue or as smaller centrepieces incorporating table numbers,” she says. “You can choose from already existing pieces or have something more bespoke created.” In addition, Jess can handcraft brooches cast in repurposed copper for gorgeous, tuppence-sized favours for bridesmaids and guests, giving you the chance to gift a miniature piece of art! jessharringtonbotanical.com

Anon Design Studio “We’ve had some lovely bespoke commissions over the past year including calligraphy place names on beautiful fresh red apples,” reveals Erica Ankers from Anon Design Studio. “A highlight this year has been writing place names on stunning Scottish sea glass for over 100 guests,” she says. “And one theme very popular at the moment is minimalistic stationery combined with luxury finishes, including letterpress, hand-dyed silk, calligraphy and foiling.” With an eclectic range of ready-made collections to pick from including art deco ‘1920s Glamour’, sea-themed ‘Moody Blues’, petal-pretty ‘Watercolour Flowers’ and modern minimalist ‘Love Luxe’, there’s something paper-pretty available for every type of couple and wedding. If it’s the bespoke route you prefer, there’s no limit to artistic self-expression when it comes to your wedding stationery. Erica can utilise every element of her designs from the font and wording to imagery and colour scheme. Creating bespoke and luxury pieces of mini artworks, they can incorporate illustrative florals, crisp typography and ‘extras’ such as custom wax seal stamps, calligraphy envelopes and address labels to ensure a complete set of stunning stationery. anondesigner.co.uk

The Roving Artist For an idiosyncratic way to entertain your guests, gift a unique wedding favour and accrue some original artwork, wedding silhouettist The Roving Artist is just the personality-packed solution. “Circulating amongst wedding guests armed with a pair of scissors may seem an odd way to experience a wedding, yet this is my ideal role,” says Charles Burns, one half of The Roving Artist duo alongside Michael Herbert. “I use the scissors to create instantaneous portraits of the guests and can cut them freehand from black paper in about 90 seconds. Seen through the eyes of a silhouettist, weddings are bizarre yet wonderful events.” Revealing that his equipment is very simple – “just a pair of surgical scissors and a pocketful of paper” – the artists blend in easily. “Recently I was flown out to a wedding in Montenegro. The couple had taken over a small island fishing village in the Adriatic and the 200 guests were surprised and delighted to get their silhouette cut out. Each was mounted on a card with the names of the couple and the date of the wedding.” The highlight – and most popular service – is cutting a silhouette of the bride and groom. “I usually do this later in the day, after the guests have seen me in action,” says Charles. “Most guests receive a head-and-shoulders silhouette and I like to cut full-length portraits of the bride and groom. Their silhouettes are then displayed on the top table while I go from table to table cutting out the rest of the party.” roving-artist.com

Cornwall Caricatures The only live pen wedding caricature service based in the Duchy, Cornwall Caricatures’ Cassie Kemp speedily draws portraits in around five minutes per guest, making for a brilliantly entertaining pick-me-up during the celebrations. With crisp, thick lines, and an individual style that combines exaggeration with flattery, Cassie’s light-hearted caricature service can be customised to suit each couple’s requirements, from scheduling to size and even style. Guests can be drawn alone on A4 card, or together on A3 in groups of two, three, four, or even five to feature a small baby. “Many will then get their unique portraits framed for their homes,” says Cassie. “The beauty of caricatures is that it’s not just entertainment on the spot, it’s a memento and doubles as a favour so your guests can take the magic home with them.” Flexibility is a key aspect of Cassie’s service. She can be seated or standing with a tool belt for mobile drawing. “In this technological age of screen overkill, there is something so timeless about the good old-fashioned pen and paper, and it captivates onlookers with its simplicity – there really are no bells or whistles!” explains Cassie. “I am always open-minded and creative about what a couple wants to achieve. For example, although I use five shades of grey and black pens as standard, one bride requested I draw all guests in sepia tones to fit with her rustic and vintage theme.” What’s more, Cassie can also create an array of décor in advance such as portrait signing boards and place settings, along with after-event artistry including group portraits, thank you cards and wedding books for giggleinducing keepsakes. cornwallcaricatures.co.uk

Charlotte Atkinson Add an ethereal charm to your day courtesy of Charlotte Atkinson’s award-winning cameo portraits. The beautifully flattering creations are hand-painted in watercolour in a miniature artist’s studio set up in your venue, allowing guests to relax and pose for their picture during a moment of downtime in proceedings, which they can then take home with them as an everlasting memento of your day. Having mastered the art of live wedding painting, she offers not only gorgeous and flattering watercolours of your guests in their finery, but also a painting of the entire celebrations. Whether you choose to focus on your venue, incorporate the guests or add in some of the special details such as your flowers or cake, it’ll provide a gorgeous all-round memory of the day. Capturing the characters of your wedding with a revealing sensitivity and soft colour palette flecked with gold, each piece of art marries Charlotte’s academic studies of portraiture in Florence with her distinctive style, to spellbinding effect. charlotteatkinsonart.com

SCORRIER HOUSE

For country house romance…

SCORRIER HOUSE Gliding down the sweeping double staircase into the Grand Hall of Scorrier House is the stuff of wedding fantasy. The jewel in the crown of this historic manor house, the Grand Hall provides a breathtaking theatre to take your vows, its lofty ceilings, elegant architectural features and idyllic views across the grounds adding to the stirring sense of occasion. Situated at the heart of 400 acres of magnificent parkland, the drive weaves through leafy mature trees and stretches of lush pasture, setting the scene for the impressive climes of the house – and a completely exclusive wedding for up to 160 guests. In addition to the Grand Hall, the gilded Drawing Room is the perfect spot for dancing long into the evening or you might even take your vows in the bay window overlooking the lawn. Meanwhile, the Blue Library is an oasis of calm for those seeking some chill time, with a bar and comfy seats to sink into. Beyond the beguiling charms of the house itself, the historic gardens play a key role in making this venue so special. The 10-acre garden is abloom with seasonal flowers, bringing colour and natural beauty to your wedding day, while the outdoor swimming pool will bring a touch of Miami chic, and is ideal for relaxing with post-ceremony drinks. There’s even a gazebo in the beautifully verdant pool garden that’s licensed for ceremonies, so your options are plentiful whatever the season or weather. Your guests are welcome to roam the gardens during the festivities, play lawn games, walk through the ‘whispering woods’ and wander among the wildflowers. Perhaps one of the most unique draws of Scorrier House is the classical orangery. Filled with lush plants and tropical flowers, it’s a perfect spot to greet your guests post-ceremony, or have photos or drinks to toast your new marriage. Situated close to the north coast, the country house embodies a significant period in Cornish history. Built in 1780 by the mining tycoon John Williams, the family were renowned for their ambitious entrepreneurism during the prospering of Cornwall’s tin and copper industry. Seven generations later, the Williams family still reside at Scorrier House, with owners Richard and Caroline boasting 20 years of experience in hosting weddings in their beautiful home. With an address book filled with local suppliers providing everything from orchestras to ice cream vans, they take a ‘blank canvas’ approach, allowing you to add your own touches to the venue. Accommodation is available in the form of four bedrooms in the house and the nearby Stable House, which has five en suite bedrooms, allowing you to extend the celebrations with your closest family and friends. The pièce de résistance is, of course, the Bridal Suite, with its stately proportions and sweeping views across the grounds. With a private breakfast served the following day in the Dining Room, could there be a more romantic way to start married life? Scorrier House, Redruth scorrierhouse.co.uk

For manor house magic…

TREREIFE HOUSE If you’re seeking historic romance for your wedding day, where better to celebrate than a manor house, tucked away on the edge of Mount’s Bay, that was once the home of a Romantic poet? Charles Valentine Le Grice, a friend and contemporary of Coleridge and many of the other famed Romantic poets, left behind a world of literature and poetry in London in 1798, moving to west Cornwall where he found love at Trereife House and Estate. The present owner, Tim Le Grice, is a descendant of this intriguing figure. The timeless charm of Trereife continues to enchant today. A long sweeping drive takes you to its picture book-pretty setting, the majestic Queen Anne manor house flanked by lofty trees, manicured gardens and verdant pasture grazed by the resident horses. An incredibly romantic backdrop for an exclusive use wedding, the venue specialises in intimate weddings for up to 50 people in the house and largescale marquee receptions in the grounds. Licensed for civil ceremonies, you can take your vows amidst the timeless charm of the drawing room with light streaming through the windows, then step outside onto the terraced lawns, perfect for an al fresco drinks reception. An ambient walled garden, which grows seasonal fruits from peaches and plums to cherries and pears, is the ideal spot for those just-married photographs, while the tennis lawn is perfectly situated for a marquee reception framed by picturesque parterre gardens. Having hosted weddings for more than a decade, the team know how to bring the personal touch, working with a talented selection of wedding suppliers to ensure a beautifully bespoke celebration. The grade II listed manor house not only offers a stirringly atmospheric events space, but plush accommodation to boot. With four guest rooms in the manor house and two self-catering apartments in the courtyard, up to 14 guests can enjoy luxuries from roll-top baths to views over the parterre gardens, the blue sweep of Mount’s Bay visible beyond the trees. Then there’s the Pink Room, a sumptuously decorated bridal suite with antique Parisian furniture, which makes a particularly photogenic setting for the bridal preparations. Those wishing to camp can set up tents or campervans on the expansive grounds, adding to the inclusive style of Trereife. Bringing time-honoured romance at every turn, bask in being lord and lady of the manor in this secluded and stunningly beautiful hidden corner of Cornwall. Trereife House, Penzance trereife.co.uk

For Cornish castle celebrations…

PENDENNIS CASTLE It’s the stuff of dreams: a 16th century castle by the sea where you can take your vows to the crashing waves and salty air of the ocean, and wow your guests with an almost palpable sense of history and romance. Crowning a scenic headland in Falmouth, Pendennis Castle began life as a gun fort in the 1540s and is considered one of Henry VIII’s finest coastal fortresses. Having defended Cornwall for five centuries since Tudor times, it also played a vital role during the two World Wars. Today, it makes a breathtaking setting for weddings, where its dramatic climes offer a range of memorable settings for a ceremony. You might take your vows in the atmospheric surroundings of the Lower Gun Room in the Castle Keep; as you enter the circular Keep through an ancient arched doorway, the building boasts traditional wooden benches on each side of the aisle, lined with gunpowder barrels; tapestry hangings, flowers and candlelight complete the oh-so enchanting picture. Moments after the ceremony, you can step outside onto the surrounding secluded grassy Chemise. An ideal spot to host a drinks reception for up to 120 and toast your new marriage with a glass of bubbly, your guests will be mesmerised by the panoramic views across the coast and boats bobbing across white-tipped waves. It also makes a picture-perfect setting for those just-married photos. Offering further choice for ceremonies and celebrations, the newly refurbished Royal Artillery Barracks, built in 1901 to house the Royal Garrison Artillery, has now been converted into a smart banqueting suite, with each room offering its own charm. Flooded with natural light and offering far-reaching views out to sea, the Melvill Room offers a modern, blank canvas space for ceremonies or wedding breakfasts, or why not try the Killigrew Room, which lends itself beautifully to couples envisioning a larger celebration. For grand-scale weddings, a marquee reception can be held within the Castle grounds, accommodating up to 1,500 guests; it is difficult to imagine a more magnificent backdrop to the celebrations than the castle dramatically lit at night as the moon and stars glitter on the sea below. And, for more intimate events, Pendennis Castle’s dedicated hospitality team now offers a high tea wedding package for couples to stylishly celebrate with their nearest and dearest over a Cornish cream tea and champagne.

Enchanted Brides Joe Burford Photography

For elegant elopements…

TRESEREN Located in Poldark country, yet just 10 minutes from the spectacular north Cornish coast, Treseren offers seclusion, serenity and small-scale weddings for up to 20 guests amidst secret flower-filled gardens and lush Trewithen countryside. Known as a ‘homestead under the stars’, Shepherds House is the beating heart of Treseren, an elegant Georgian building with a striking slate-hung facade. The house is full of elegant architectural features befitting its period, not least its soaring sash windows that invite floods of natural light into the gorgeously styled rooms. Dating back to 1798, its history is interwoven with Cornwall’s golden age of mining. Former resident Captain Middleton, an admired adventurer and mine captain who became known across the world, may well have been the inspiration for Winston Graham’s Captain Poldark. Indeed, Middleton’s signature can be seen on the wooden treads of the stairway. Today, you’ll find the echoes of this captivating time in Cornwall’s history blended with luxe contemporary features to create a stylish canvas for an intimate wedding. There’s a choice of licensed spaces to take your vows. Picture a candlelit winter elopement in the Drawing Room, with the crackle of the wood-burner and views across the gardens. There’s also the Wedding Room, a light and brilliantly flexible space with French doors opening onto the

FROM THIS DAY FORWARD

“I want to be the best version of myself for the most important person in my life.” Ariko and Jamie married at Boconnoc in 2016. Jamie: “No one can tell you what marriage is, because it’s different for everyone. I Matt Sumii Photography

can tell you what it is for us: it is to try as hard as you can every day to make it work. To hold realistic expectations about what you need from each other. To make time for each other; especially when all the other parts of your life are being overrun. And make coffee in the morning – that helps too! The early years have been a challenge for us both in many ways, but she has been my one constant and that has helped, and I think I have been hers.” Ariko: “I’ve been pleasantly surprised that marriage has been easier and better than I expected. I have a determination to do my darn hardest to be the best I can be, and to put effort and energy into making Jamie my number one priority and making him happy. I realised after a year that marriage is a sense that we’re in it for the long haul and we’re facing the world together as a team. It makes it easier to address the downs, whether it’s external or between us. For the external challenges, because I know we’re facing it together and I have someone who’s always going to have my back, it makes

Matt Sumii Photography

me stronger. When I’ve had a particularly stressful or exhausting day, I still occasionally need to remind myself that the person I need to put most effort into is him. I find that people are often so consumed by pleasing strangers – our co-workers, bosses, acquaintances – that we come home and we’re so tired we take it out on the people we love most. I try to do the opposite. I want to try and put the most effort into being the best version of myself for the most important person in my life.”

“The feeling of certainty that comes along with being married is really beautiful.” Holly and Neil married at The Green in 2018. Holly: “For me, marriage was always about a partnership, a shared life. It’s been amazing, without sounding too sickly! Marrying someone you’ve known for 25 years does make it easy to be honest. Being married feels more intertwined and connected. The feeling of solidity Assassynation

and certainty that comes along with being married is really beautiful.” Neil: “It’s been unbelievably brilliant. It’s a million times better than anything I could have imagined. I have never known a happiness and peace like it. It’s really quite grounding for the rest of life.” Holly: “A wedding doesn’t make a marriage. You still always have to treat each other with love and respect always. We started the idea of a suggestion box – just a phrase, not a literal box – for those little things that niggle. We really don’t use it very often but if there’s something bothering us we use the ‘SB’. It takes the stress out of bringing up those little things.” Neil: “We both try to be as open-hearted, open-minded and honest about the way we feel at every stage, and try to never take the other

Assassynation

person for granted. And the classic – don’t sweat the small stuff. The suggestion box has really worked for us. It’s good just for cohabiting, let alone everything else. We use it sparingly though – don’t make it weak through overuse!”

“This is your forever person and that’s that. Knowing that brought a true calmness to my life.” Emily and Bob married at Coombe Trenchard in 2016. Emily: “Like most hopeless romantics, my preconception of married life was a solid, contented one. It was a commitment to continuing to build a life together and I hoped that being a married woman would be as comforting as it was exciting. Being married, I feel very secure but still myself, still my own person within a really awesome partnership. It’s nice to have a live-in, legally bound best friend who has to hang out with you all the time and never watch Netflix without you. We have had a beautiful, hilarious, loud daughter and I feel immensely proud to

Freckle Photography

be both her mummy and my husband’s wife. Being married is different in that it’s official – official that this is your forever person and that’s that. Knowing that brought a true calmness to my life. But it’s also the same; the same happiness you find in each other, the same supermarket shop, the same silly arguments about your other half putting your things ‘away’ to never be found again. It’s a lovely way to solidify and celebrate your togetherness but it doesn’t change the intrinsic unique ‘you-ness’ that you have as a pair. My advice would be to communicate, constantly. Talk about your day, your feelings, your random thoughts and the silly videos you’ve seen on Facebook. Make lots of memories and explore new places together (even if they are just down the road). Back down sometimes and always see things from their perspective. Oh, and be thoughtful and kind; sometimes it’s the little things that make your marriage and relationship stronger (for me it’s unexpected chocolate).”

Harrera Images

“Marriage means looking to each other in a storm and knowing that support is always there to fall back on” Jess and Jake married at Pendennis Castle in 2013. Jess: “I already felt very committed and happy in our relationship but I think marriage made it feel more formal and ‘official’… and it made it harder for him to leave! I didn’t think it would change anything fundamental in any way. However, it has differed to my expectations in many ways. I think before we got married I thought about marriage from a romance perspective – would it make us love one another more or spend more time being romantic together? It hasn’t really. However, what marriage has done is draw us closer together when things haven’t been so great. Navigating the challenges of having a young family, hardships and bereavements

Harrera Images

has made our marriage much stronger, as we have learned to lean on each other and pull from each person’s strength. Rather than seeing marriage as simply a date night or breakfast in bed, we’ve learned that marriage means sticking together when all else is lost – looking to each other in a storm and knowing that support is always there to fall back on. My advice to other couples beginning their journey is to be prepared that you’re entering a marriage, not a wedding. After the honeymoon the waves of life continue and you learn to surf those waves and stabilise your balance by holding onto one another for support. All of the things we cherished when we entered marriage are different to what we cherish now – romantic dinners and spa days and lie-ins and making love every five minutes (we still cherish some of these things) – but we’ve made space for things that matter on a deeper level too. I’m talking about friendship, honest conversations, seeing our children show their personalities and having an early night rather than dancing into the night! Priorities change but being married provides a foundation to grow together. Lastly, don’t ever stop laughing together.”

“When you have your soulmate by your side, you can conquer anything and everything.” Ashley and Keith married at Hotel Endsleigh in 2017. Ashley: “I don’t think either of us had pre-conceptions of married life – we both just expected to marry our best friend and soulmate. Since we’ve been married, we’ve been undergoing and juggling so many momentous life events due to the fact that I’ve relocated to England from America to be with Keith. After our wedding, we went through the process of me learning to drive on the opposite side of the road, finding a temporary job, moving house, finding a proper job in my field, and are now currently in the process of buying our first home. It has

Enchanted Brides

been a bustling and eventful year-and-a-half! We’ve been going through so many life changes that would naturally bring on stress, yet everything seems to have made us stronger and brought us closer together than ever before. These events, although simultaneously exciting yet stressful, have led us to the point where we are now: with a solid foundation for the next chapter of our life together. Our marriage has been more beautiful than I could ever begin to imagine, and I am constantly reminded of how lucky I am to have so much love in my life. My husband is my best friend in the world, and my heart and mind had never been so at peace. If we could pass a piece of advice on to other newly-weds, it would be that nothing else in the world really matters. No matter what obstacles come up or what life throws at you, you will find that when you have your soulmate by your side, you can conquer anything and everything.”

Enchanted Brides

MARRIAGE MAINTENANCE The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show that of all marriages that ended in divorce, approximately half occurred in the first 10 years, with the most common grounds for opposite-sex couples documented as “unreasonable behaviour.” So how couples weather those early years of marriage largely determines both its success and longevity, meaning that you must invest time and effort to ensure your marriage receives the best chance possible. Mary Clegg, clinical director of The Mary Clegg Clinic (maryclegg.co.uk), which provides relationship support and counselling, draws attention to the vital importance of early and everyday relationship management. “Seek help soon and have regular MOTs, and think about how your marriage is doing,” she says. “Go on a date and verbalise. Couples tend not to discuss their problems, but don’t sweep it under the carpet because it will only fester.”

Enchanted Brides

A core focus on each other along with a frank and truth-bearing assessment of marriage emphasises Mary’s additional advice about finding a unique approach to individually suit – in short “do more of what works and less of what doesn’t,” she says. “The advice from my father was always ‘don’t go to bed on an argument’, but I’d say what’s more important is to agree to try to resolve it,” she continues. “There’s good evidence that couples who resolve issues and peace-make stay together.” Whether you’re in the throes of grief, post-wedding blues, or experiencing more psychologically deep-seated issues, Mary’s top advice – as preventative action as much as to pinpoint your problems toward a route of resolution – is to see a relationship therapist. “They work in a different way to other therapists and you’ll be given tools and taught how to be proactive,” she explains. Despite the trials of the early years of marriage, they are often looked back on as the most joyous and filled with intimacy and discovery. Come rain or shine, keep returning to what first united you as a couple in order to build the foundation for a lifelong, happy and meaningful marriage.

Whether you’ve chosen Cornwall as your wedding destination because you live here or love here, extending your celebrations with a love-in at a stylish spot is the perfect way to reboot after your wedding. From hotels within pebble-hurling distance of the shore to rural retreats with coastal panoramas, here are some of Cornwall’s most lusted-after locales for a positively dreamy minimoon.

HENDRA COTTAGE The location county, Hendra Cottage is the epitome of getting away from it all. The architectdesigned coastal gem looks out across heather-cloaked fields that tumble down to the rolling Atlantic Ocean. Boasting far-reaching views across Land’s End and Longships Lighthouse, it is a mesmerising spot to take in the untamed beauty of Cornwall’s western tip.

The style This gorgeously designed property is a treat inside and out. Comfort and contemporary coastal charm are the keynotes of the styling, creating a clifftop sanctuary that feels cosy yet spacious for larger groups. There’s a comfortable lounge with sink-into-me sofas for relaxing by the fire, and a snug libraryinspired room. Boasting large, comfy beds and statement, nautical-inspired wallpaper, five luxurious bedrooms (some with en suites) sleep up to nine guests, making it a perfect spot for a family minimoon. The modern stateof-the-art kitchen boasts everything you could want for a feast, with a long dining table that’ll fit the whole family around, while a spot in front of the huge windows is the ideal locale to drink your morning coffee and soak up the ever-changing views. The garden, with its large lawn and sun terrace, comes complete with a wood-burning hot tub – perfectly positioned to take in the sun setting over the Atlantic.

What to do Hendra Cottage is the ideal nook to cosy up for some well-deserved downtime. Throw open the doors and spend lazy days in the garden with a book immersing yourselves in the Cornish elements; there’s ample space for children and dogs to play. Hit the coastal path and explore the surrounding landscape; head to the sands of nearby Sennen for surfing and sunbathing followed by sundowners at ‘The Beach’ restaurant and bar. The winding coastal road will take you to some of the most sublime spots in Cornwall, from Porthcurno and the Minack Theatre, to postcard-pretty St Ives, with its art galleries, restaurants and artisan cafés. Stop off at the village of Zennor, famed for its mermaid legend and gorsecloaked cliffs, for a local ale at its 700-year-old inn, and, of course, head to the hot tub as the sun sets, champagne in hand and new spouse by your side. hendracottage.co.uk

Sitting just above the shoreline in St Mawes, commanding unspoilt sea views towards St Anthony’s Lighthouse and beyond, its sun-drenched position at the far end of the picturesque fishing village affords it a palpable feel of being elsewhere, even though it’s only a brief ferry ride from Falmouth.

The style Comprising a cluster of cottages, the hotel extends the coastal vibe with stylish interiors by Olga Polizzi, where each bedroom has been individually designed with antiques, Cornish art and eclectic furnishings for a relaxed yet characterfilled aesthetic. Choose from one of the 30 gorgeous rooms, or indulge with a stay in the Forte Suite in Rock Cottage, which boasts a sitting room with a wood-burner and terrace. Alternatively, if you’re making your honeymoon a family-friendly affair, there’s a spectacular three-bedroom suite in Upper Tresanton, with a sitting room, balcony and two bathrooms, while Rock Cottage and The Nook can both be rented as whole properties to cater for extended parties. The restaurant provides another chic space to relax and soak up the sea views alongside dishes brimming with the freshest and finest ingredients, while the bar and more informal Dogs’ Bar make ideal spots for a board game or nightcap as you soak up the atmosphere both inside and out.

What to do Spoil yourself with something from the hotel’s treatment list, from massages and facials to reflexology, aromatherapy, manicures and pedicures, plus holistic signature experiences such as four-handed massages Apollo Awakening and Herculean Deep Tissue Massage. The Beach Club – a Mediterranean-style trio of terraces nestled into the rocks and affording direct access to Tavern Beach below – presents a fabulous sun-spilled place to relax. Sip on a cold-pressed juice or tuck into oysters and champagne as you sink into your spectacular surrounds. You can even push the boat out, literally, by renting the hotel’s 1930s Italian racing yacht, Pinuccia, for a dream-worthy daytime charter as you sail into married life in the most blissful of ways. tresanton.com

The hideaway moon

FINGERS POINT The location Boasting one of the finest locations in west Cornwall, Fingers Point stakes prime position between land and ocean, gazing seaward to Mount’s Bay across the rolling countryside to the iconic St Michael’s Mount. Conveniently accessible from the A30 along winding country lanes, it is a perfect spot for some post-wedding peace, offering a blissfully away-from-it-all sense of seclusion.

The style If the uninterrupted panoramas across Mount’s Bay don’t take your breath away, then the thoughtfully designed interiors of Fingers Point certainly will. A light, bright and luxurious barn conversion, there’s a stylish blend of natural textures, artful design and modern comforts throughout. Dotted with wonderful wooden beams and slabs of Cornish granite, the beautiful bolthole boasts careful attention to detail, from its underfloor heating and egg-shaped wood-burner (wonderfully cosy in the cooler months) to the king-sized bed with a Hypnos mattress and walk-in rainfall shower. State-of-the-art tech including a Naim Mu-so sound system, Wi-Fi, an iPad and a Smart TV with Sky, Freeview and Netflix are complemented by a sleek, fully equipped kitchen (including a Nespresso machine). The attention to detail continues outside. A private hot tub sits atop a decking area overlooking a patio furnished with a table, chairs, day bed and barbecue, creating the perfect al fresco space to sit, dine and take in those sweeping views.

What to do If you can bear to tear yourself away from your chic retreat, the area is awash with must-see destinations such as Marazion, the charming gateway to St Michael’s Mount, and the pretty fishing village of Mousehole. If you’re in the mood for art, head to The Exchange in Penzance, Newlyn Art Gallery or Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens, where subtropical plants nestle artworks from internationally renowned artists. Some of west Cornwall’s top foodie haunts are just a short drive away, too, such as Ben’s Cornish Kitchen in Marazion or The Shore in Penzance. A world-class reserve of beaches such as Sennen, Praa Sands and Prussia Cove will sate all your coastal desires, from water sports (head to The Hoxton Special at Long Rock for kitesurfing and paddleboarding) to lounging on sea-lapped shores. And there’s no better way to round off the day than stargazing from the hot tub of your romantic retreat. boutique-retreats.co.uk

Beautiful love stories from across Cornwall

MARRYING OF CULTURES

Helen and Karan’s wedding on the Cornish coast was a celebration of culture, family and fabulous food – with a surprise Bollywood dance routine thrown in for good measure! “Nine years to the day after we started going out, Karan took me to see ‘The Nutcracker’ and we stayed at an old country inn,” reveals Helen. “During a walk the next day, I unwrapped his Christmas present, which was a photo album filled with pictures of us. I turned a page and he had written: ‘You’re the one for me, so I wanted to ask you…’ He was on one knee, in the mud, looking terrified and holding a ring.” The couple drew inspiration from their heritage for their wedding at Polhawn Fort. “We have different cultural backgrounds and wanted to embrace this, as well as expressing our love for each other, our family and friends, and also family members who have died yet we know would have enjoyed and celebrated the day with us. Thinking of this helped shape the decisions we made,” says Karan. A highly personal and symbolic event complete with thoughtful detail, the day began with a Baraat procession from the roof terrace to the lawn below, where the Hindu ceremony took place beneath a beautiful mandap framing the coastline. The couple looked the part, dressed in Indian outfits handmade in Delhi. “We gave a leaflet to our guests for those who had never attended a Hindu wedding ceremony before, so they could follow the symbolic relevance of events,” says Karan, which included exchanging garlands during Milni (the families of the bride and groom meeting before the wedding ceremony), Ganesh pujan (worshipping Lord Ganesh), Kanyadaan (giving away the bride) and Saptapadi (the seven steps considered as a witness to the vows they made to each other). Guests then tucked into a buffet lunch on the lawn ahead of the civil ceremony in the summerhouse. After fun on the beach, everyone took their seats for a feast of Ottolenghi-style meals comprising lamb shawarma with fresh mint and pomegranate, roast butternut squash with lemon, cashews, za’atar and tahini dressing, and chocolate brownies for dessert. “We choreographed our own Bollywood dance routine that we learnt and taught ‘the younger ones’, and then performed after dinner to the unsuspecting guests,” says Helen of the evening reception. “We also created our own music playlist that we specially picked to get everyone on the dance floor and we left it running so guests could add to it throughout the evening.” Looking back, Helen attributes the day’s success to everyone involved and “all the kind effort in the little and big gestures that our guests contributed to make our wedding feel as if it were made by our family and friends: decorating the fort, putting the flowers in our homemade vases, fixing together the mandap… Supporting us on this day as they do in our lives,” she says. “Before you start planning, explain to each other from your heart what is important to each of you on your wedding day,” Karan urges other couples. “Remember this each time it comes to making decisions, so you can check in with each other and compromise, which you will need to continue to do throughout your married lives.”

SUMMER DREAMS

The edge of Cornwall made an enchanting backdrop for Kirsten and Michael’s relaxed summer nuptials Having lured Kirsten to Cornwall for the weekend on the pretence of running a 10km race, Michael took her for a walk to Rame Head where the pair had previously camped. He popped the question, and they promptly celebrated with fireworks before retreating to a clifftop cabin overlooking the sea for the rest of the weekend to celebrate their newly engaged status. Pentillie Castle was a natural choice for their “relaxed, summery and smiley” wedding, as Kirsten explains. “It was stunning, had incredible views of the river, had sufficient on-site accommodation for the wedding party, and were happy to manage our large number of guests.” Determined to host a grand-scale wedding without stress or fuss, Kirsten and Michael remained mindful throughout the planning process of their ultimate aim. “The idea was simple – choose a great place, become husband and wife, and celebrate our happiness with all of our friends and family,” says Michael. “It made no difference to us how the napkins were laid out or how the coffees were served – we just wanted everyone to have a good time and make the most of the beautiful setting. Our biggest priority was being able to invite everyone we wanted, even if that meant compromising on some other aspects like favours or menu choices.” Personal details featured throughout the celebrations: in a nod to Michael’s occupation as an RAF officer, there were military touches such as a guard of honour and sabring of a champagne bottle, while, in homage to Kirsten’s roots, a Scottish element was infused with a ceilidh band. “The place settings were photos of the guests with us and these doubled as favours and an excellent conversation piece for the guests who didn’t know each other,” adds Kirsten. Picking local suppliers, they worked with Psychopomp Distillery to create a unique ‘wedding gin’, which incorporated botanicals including Scottish heather and south-west blackberry and doubled up as wedding favours. Extending the relaxed vibe of their day, sharing platters made for an interactive eating experience. Guests mingled while tucking into the delicious likes of deli meats, pickles and Asian pulled pork with accompaniments that were placed on the tables. “We chose to have locally sourced Cornish ice cream served in small tubs of varying flavours – this was fun, easy for the kitchen to organise, and fairly economical,” says Michael of their dessert choice. In retrospect, the couple remain happy with their choices and simple approach to designing their day. “People say organising a wedding is really stressful. We came at it with a relaxed approach and didn’t get hung up on the details,” says Kirsten. “Remember what it’s all about and enjoy the process – don’t make it an arduous task! And don’t forget you can always delegate!”

BLOOMING BEAUTIFUL!

Navy, floral and copper accents lent a contemporary and personal twist to Kerry and Tom’s manor house wedding “Tom booked a holiday to New York as my Christmas present,” says Kerry, reflecting on her unforgettable yuletide trip. “He proposed in Central Park on our first day. He found a bench next to a waterfall with a great view of a lake and the Manhattan skyline.” Having always dreamed of a manor house wedding, Trewornan Manor ticked all the boxes for Kerry and Tom’s celebrations. “It was important to me that we chose somewhere with accommodation so that we could make a weekend of it,” says Kerry. “One of the nicest parts of the weekend was sharing stories with everyone over breakfast on the Sunday.” A navy, floral and copper theme made for a gorgeously dressed marquee with cut-glass vases filled with pretty blooms alongside copper candlestick holders on the tables. An eye-catching cake cloaked with intricate iced petals and hoops woven with blooms – a last minute addition that proved to be one of Kerry’s favourite features – extended the floral aesthetic. In addition, customdesigned stationery extended the beautiful and bespoke look of the wedding. The bride and groom’s style afforded the pair another chance to tailor their tastes, with Kerry choosing to finish her gown with Swarovski earrings, a customised hairpiece and even her own specially made Jo Malone perfume. Meanwhile, Tom and his groomsmen completed their dapper ensemble with bespoke ties and waistcoats. The al fresco ceremony in the courtyard provided Kerry with one of her happiest moments as she took the time before making her entrance to absorb her surrounds. “Looking out of the window of the main bedroom at all our guests sitting in the courtyard in the sunshine was my favourite moment. It was such a unique ceremony area and just how we had imagined it.” Welcome drinks and canapés were followed by the wedding breakfast – a personalised affair that saw the caterers recreating the roast from Kerry and Tom’s local pub. “The slow-cooked beef brisket was amazing!” recalls Kerry. “We then had a trio of sharing desserts including ‘toast your own’ marshmallows, lemon tart and chocolate brownie.” Nachos with a choice of toppings kept evening guests’ energy levels up, who arrived at the early time of 6pm “because we wanted them to be able to share as much of the day with us as possible,” says Kerry. “Spend money on the important things such as food and entertainment - not everyone will notice some of the smaller details that can add up,” Kerry advises couples in the midst of planning. “And try to be organised. We did lots of the bigger things first and then I used the time after this to get the smaller bits out of the way,” she says. “This saved so much stress nearer the time as lots of things were sorted.”

LOVE’S DESIGN

Katie tapped into her creative talent to ensure her wedding to Matt culminated in a day full of unique character and style Katie and Matt first encountered each other online. “Matt actually mentioned this in his speech, referencing the fact that he thought he might have made a new pen pal for himself!” laughs Katie. Having planned a weekend away in the Cotswolds, Matt dropped to one knee to present Katie with a beautiful ring that belonged to his mum. “He also had a ring that he had made especially for me, which was just perfect,” she adds. Katie drew on her professional experience to plan a stunningly styled day. “I am an interior designer with my own design company, so I wanted to plan and style my own wedding,” she explains. “It was honestly one of the most enjoyable things I’ve ever done and now I’m branching out into wedding styling!” she enthuses. Taking their venue, Place Estate, as the visual springboard for their day, Katie was inspired by its French chateau feel, to which she added an elegant and rustic twist. “I used lots of candles to create a soft and warm light and I intertwined them with long floral table runners. The colour scheme was very soft, we used quicksand roses and earl grey roses, as I loved their soft nude colours and their antique look.” All elements combined to create a spellbinding scene, from the stationery to the floristry, which alongside the roses featured eucalyptus, stocks and lizzyanthus in the marquee. Kate cites her favourite moment as “arriving at the church, knowing that all our closest family and friends were all there under the same roof”, after which guests were transported by vintage coach to Place Estate for a drinks reception to the stellar soundtrack of singer-songwriter Kaj. There followed a feast of Parma ham and mozzarella salad with peaches and mint, rolled roast sirloin of local beef with crushed new potatoes and buttered green beans, and a ‘his and hers’ dessert. “We couldn’t agree on just one!” says Katie. “I picked tart citron and Matt’s choice was chocolate brownie with a warm caramel shot and vanilla ice cream.” In the evening, a crowd-pleasing DJ set, firepits and fireworks drew Katie and Matt’s dream day to an atmospheric close. “We had a barbecue at Place Estate on the Sunday; it was so nice to reuse the venue and get everyone together again the day after,” says Katie, who echoes many a newly-wed’s gratitude at having extended their time with loved ones both before and after the big day. “Start early to secure the best, they get snapped up so quickly!” she advises other couples, suggesting booking their favourite suppliers as the first item on their planning checklist. “And get some help to make sure the day runs smoothly; this massively relieves the stress!”

TRULY MADLY DEEPLY

Emma and Mark combined coastal colours and classic styling for their elegant waterside wedding in Fowey Emma and Mark first met in St Ives when she was holidaying and he was working as a builder next door. “Mark used to ask me if I’d like to join him walking his dog and it all went from there. We were married exactly 10 years later!” says Emma. The couple’s first home was a beach chalet on Gwithian Sands. “We loved our time there and our daily clifftop walks at Godrevy looking down at the seals on the beach,” says Emma – so it was a fitting spot for Mark to propose. “It was a beautiful day and I stood up to take photos, then Mark presented me with the ring! We had a picnic on Gwithian before going back to Fowey for dinner out with my parents.” The location of their holiday home and many a childhood escapade, Fowey was the instant choice for their wedding venue. “Fowey Hall has such a wonderful feel to it with stunning views of Fowey,” adds Emma. Designing a “classic, elegant, traditional and timeless day with inspiration from the coast”, the event assumed an oceanic aesthetic with a palette of blue, turquoise and ivory. “The guest experience and the finer details were really important to me to make our wedding really ‘us’ and make it stand out from the crowd,” explains Emma, who organised welcome Cornish fudge in guest rooms, beach huts for guest favours and ‘sail away to your seats’ escort boats. What’s more, guests were treated to a three-day stay at Fowey Hall where the wedding party enjoyed exclusive use for the duration of the weekend. The celebrations began with a Cornish cream tea followed by a barbecue with entertainment from sea shanty singers, The Press Gang, and magician, Dan Brazier. Blessed with more sunshine the next day, Emma carried a simple bouquet of ivory roses to complement her custom-made gown as she glided through the stunning flower arches toward her grand church entrance. “The ceremony was so personal,” she says. “One of my favourite parts was when my mum read out an extract from ‘The Wind in the Willows’. It is thought that Fowey was the inspiration for the book and it was written at Fowey Hall. When we came out of the church, we walked through the streets of Fowey with our 100 guests following behind us. The streets were lined with people, all the residents and shopkeepers had come out to see us! We reached the quay and stood at the top of the steps for a kiss and a wave to our guests before our newly-wed cruise!” An afternoon reception featuring live music from The Top Bananas alongside canapés, drinks and ice creams was followed by a wedding breakfast comprising pan-fried sea bass and breast of Creedy Farm chicken finished with lemon tart and sticky toffee pudding. The Dukes of Havoc kept the party vibe in full swing throughout the evening, which also saw sparklers and a fireworks display. The next day, everyone unwound with a day of boating activities including dinghysailing, motorboats, kayaks, walking tours and a harbour cruise all thoughtfully pre-arranged: the perfect endnote to Emma and Mark’s three-day wedding spectacular.

IN THE NAME OF LOVE

A sunflower-filled scene with colourpop décor formed the backdrop for Alex and Tom’s entertainment-packed party on the beach Alex and Tom first met at a friend’s 21st birthday party while studying at Cardiff University. Years later, Alex proposed with a hand-penned poem for Tom on a quiet beach in north-west Spain. Continuing the seaside theme, the couple chose Lusty Glaze as the venue for their wedding, which adopted an uber-relaxed mood complete with rose gold and rainbow tones. Sunflowers were the perfect bloom to decorate the waterside venue, which were arranged as a wedding gift by their florist cousin, Clare, to enhance Lusty Glaze’s sun-spilled space. Alex and Tom’s dogs walked them down the aisle alongside their ‘groomsmaids’ and mums for their “short but sweet” midday ceremony, making for a memorable and emotive moment as they took their steps toward married life. After the vows, drinks and canapés did the rounds alongside a caricature artist before a buffet-style barbecue presented guests with the delicious likes of tuna steak with soy and sesame, Cornish mackerel with lemon and parsley, lemon and herb chicken, and stuffed aubergine with a host of sides. The entertainment continued during the speeches with balloon modelling and a magician, while the couple’s dogs “loved running around the beach!” says Tom.. “Not long after the speeches were over, we revealed our new chosen family name, which we asked our guests to help with by requesting a suggestion on the RSVP cards. We chose ‘Kerensa’, the Cornish word for love,” reveals Alex. “Another important part of the day for us was being able to acknowledge how fortunate we are today, in this country, to have equal rights to love and marry who we want. This is sadly not the case for everybody, and so our first toast as a married couple was to those people not able to celebrate their love in this way,” says Tom. Pizza, pasties and a cake of cheese “went down a storm” and kept evening guests’ appetites at bay as they partied on the sands to a stellar soundtrack by Mango Factory. “We planned a sunset walk by the sea, just for us, which was a good way to take a few moments to soak it all in. Then back to the band and the party – with a surprise fire show on the beach for everyone to enjoy halfway through the set!” says Alex of the evening’s crowd-pleasing events. Another standout memory was the surprise first dance that Tom had planned. “A special song was performed by our band and sung by an old friend we met travelling together, who secretly travelled from Scotland for it. Amazing, unforgettable!” reminisces Alex. “Book items such as your photographer, band and venue as early as possible,” he encourages other couples. “Be organised and use software like Google Sheets and Docs, where people can edit and share together in real time – the more you do before the wedding, the less there is to do on the day. Keep the traditions you love, and leave out the ones you don’t. Relax and have fun… it’s contagious!”

TROPICAL BLISS

Flamingos, flower crowns and fabulous food took centre stage at Sophie and Trav’s week-long Australiameets-England wedding celebrations Sophie and Trav first locked eyes during Trav’s trip to Cornwall from Australia on a working holiday. “It was a trip that his family thought would only last a couple of weeks,” reveals Sophie. “We met at a work cocktail-tasting night. Cue a Facebook friend request and the rest is history!” It was during a trip to Australia that Trav spontaneously popped the question “underneath the washing line at his parent’s house”, laughs Sophie. “Trav assures me he planned to propose a few months later when we were in New Zealand, but he asked sooner!” Falling for the sublime location of Porth En Alls in Prussia Cove, Sophie and Trav hired the venue for an entire week of festivities. “Because we had family travelling over from Australia and all over the UK, we wanted to extend our celebrations,” explains Sophie. “We managed to have a surf competition on the Thursday evening using a surf simulator, the big day on the Saturday and a Sunday session with Bloody Marys, music, barbecue and an England v Australia cricket match on the beach!” Their wedding took an “Australia meets Cornwall” theme, with a “tropical Palm Springs vibe”. The décor was central to establishing the look and feel of their vibrant seaside wedding, which included stationery all designed by Sophie. The flowers were also a focal point, and one of Sophie’s favourite features. “We chose to incorporate some Australian flowers such as protea and eucalyptus as a nod to Trav’s nationality,” she explains. Another idiosyncratic element was the post-ceremony performance by a flash mob. “One of my favourite parts of the day, I’d managed to keep them a secret from everyone!” says Sophie. “The Chorus were amazing and performed their version of ‘All You Need Is Love’ at the end of our ceremony. Everyone absolutely loved it.” Attention to detail continued with the food, which provided a further talking point for Sophie and Trav’s guests as they tucked into ‘off the grills’ Thai yellow monkfish, octopus, sticky Korean pork, beef carpaccio and grilled asparagus with hollandaise. “We then went on to have grazing boards of charcuterie made by Trav and our friend Marc from Duchy Charcuterie using beef from my dad’s farm, cheeses, hummus, sweet potato butter, burnt grapes, pickles and St Ives Bakery focaccia. We finished it off with a Krispy Kreme doughnut bar, complete with sauces, sprinkles and glitter spray for people to pimp their own!” says Sophie. “While we did take other people’s opinions into account, ultimately the day was very ‘us’,” says Sophie. “The weather will do whatever it wants, but be prepared for it,” she reminds other couples of one of the common planning pitfalls. “The day before our wedding it didn’t stop raining at all. On the wedding day, the sun shone and people got sunburnt! I’d designed my decorations to work either inside or outside depending on what the weather decided to do and that reassured me that even though an indoor ceremony wasn’t my top choice, I was ready for it.”

THE STORY OF US

From their love of films to food, Laura and Elliot filled their eclectic three-day wedding celebration with personality-packed touches Laura first met Elliot when she moved from Melbourne to London to start work for the same company as him, and friendship blossomed into love. After Elliot’s proposal in their garden on a summer’s evening, the couple were faced with a big decision concerning where to marry. “Melbourne, London or Cornwall?” says Laura. “We finally landed on Cornwall as Elliot grew up in Polperro and I knew my family would love an excuse for a trip to Europe! It was absolutely perfect for what we knew would be a massive three-day party!” “We love putting on themed gatherings so we knew our wedding had to reflect this,” she says. “We are both massive Wes Anderson fans and decided on a mixture of ‘Moonrise Kingdom’ meets ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’.” Taking the films’ style as the inspiration for their wedding, the couple also wanted native Australian flowers to feature in homage to Laura’s roots. “As the wedding evolved over the 22 months we were engaged, we landed on an autumnal/native Aussie colour palette,” she explains. Their non-traditional wedding began with their outfits, Laura choosing whimsical separates and Elliot donning a custom-made ensemble. “It took a little while for him to fall in love with the idea of a green suit, but it looked amazing,” recalls Laura. A focus on floristry beautifully combined the couple’s heritage with eucalyptus, kangaroo paw, craspedia and banksia paired with local Cornish blooms. “At the very last minute I asked our florist to add some giant protea, which blew all the guests away!” adds Laura. Their “lovely, funny and very inclusive ceremony” included a request for their guests to sing a ‘hymn’ in the form of Beyoncé’s ‘Love on Top’. “The sing-along quickly caught on and we had the whole wedding party and guests singing one of our favourite songs to end the ceremony. It was so much fun!” reminisces Elliot. After the ceremony, guests were greeted with a grazing table, alongside a Campari bar and a bathtub full of craft beer from one of their favourite London breweries, Belleville. Foodies Laura and Elliot also wanted the gastronomy to take centre stage, and they carefully planned a menu to suit. Starting with sharing boards ‘from the sea’ including gin and beetroot cured salmon, smoked mackerel pâté and hand-picked Dartmouth crab, ‘from the land’ mains of slow-cooked beef cheek, roast rump of lamb and roasted potatoes were then served alongside a selection of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes. The evening featured a packed dance floor, pasty supper and after-party in the hot tubs, followed the next day by coffee and pastries in the courtyard courtesy of a coffee van. “We dragged the furniture outside and had reggae songs as the soundtrack – the perfect way to reminisce about the night before and round the weekend off,” comments Elliot. “Depending on how long your engagement is, don’t buy too much stuff at the beginning,” warns Laura to other busily planning couples. “We were engaged for almost two years and I got so excited at the beginning that I started buying things that we didn’t end up using because our theme changed over the 22 months!”

Proper job. Serve the traditional Cornish pasty as a mid-dancing snack. Guests always appreciate evening food, especially when it’s Cornwall’s most famous dish. Jenny Sounds good. Book a sea shanty band for your reception drinks to get everyone in the Cornish mindset. Cornish folk is also beautiful to listen to and a good band can play at the ceremony and drinks reception. Rebecca Sign of the times. Putting a Cornish spin on a guestbook can add a really unique feature to a wedding. This year we have one couple who will be having a surfboard for all their guests to sign, and we’ve previously had a couple who had a large piece of driftwood as their guestbook.
