WELCOME

How the world has changed since I settled down to pen my last editor’s letter three oh-so long months ago. Then, we were looking forward to a fabulous flurry of spring weddings and the sundrenched celebrations of summer, a gorgeous haze of flowers, sunsets and love. My heart goes out to all of our readers who have been forced to postpone their weddings due to the Covid-19 pandemic. And then there’s our wonderful wedding industry here in Cornwall, who have had their livelihoods thrown into uncertainty.

Here at Wed, we spent the early weeks of the pandemic moving on from a sense of paralysis and adapting to running the magazine with two small children at home all day to lending our support to couples and suppliers in need of advice, help or just a reassuring chat amidst dark times.

It’s been wonderful to hear stories of couples and suppliers working together and supporting each other so brilliantly, to see businesses adapting to the ‘new normal’, whether it’s been by offering virtual venue tours and dress appointments or by conducting online ceremonies. But, most of all, it’s warmed our hearts to see the way that couples, families and communities have come together in love.

Back in March, we didn’t know whether anyone would want to plan a wedding at a time of such international uncertainty. We didn’t know whether anyone would

want to get engaged or even be able to look with hope to the future.

While the Covid-19 pandemic has thrown all our lives into chaos, it’s also put them into sharp focus. On some level, we’ve all been forced to consider what really matters, away from the noise and relentless rhythm of everyday life. And it fills my heart with joy to see so many of you choosing lifelong love. We’ve adored hearing your stories of proposals, and of looking ahead, together, to the most incredible wedding through the disappointment of postponement. There can’t be many things more positive, joyful and life-affirming right now than planning a day when all your precious people gather to celebrate love, life and togetherness.

Here’s to that glorious wedding at the end of the tunnel! May these pages, filled with ideas-packed features, creative styling and joy-filled love stories, inspire the happiest of days!

LOVE IN THE TIME OF COVID-19

“We held a virtual ceremony” “Dave and I have been together for 25 years, and our silver wedding anniversary was in April,” says Alison. “We had booked a Mediterranean cruise and our vow renewal ceremony was meant to be on May 8th during a day at sea travelling from Italy to Croatia.

We had heard about a few online ceremonies taking place during the pandemic, and decided to see if we could find a celebrant who would do something similar. I am a wedding harpist and have attended wedding fairs run by Out of the Ordinary Weddings. We contacted them to see if they could recommend a celebrant, and they told us about Get Wed Online (getwedonline.com). We loved the idea of having friends and family join in ‘virtually’, and so we opted for the full

“We postponed our wedding” “Elliot and I met online in April 2016,” says Lauren. “We have been pretty inseparable since our first date and moved in together after a few months. We bought our first house together in June 2018, and in September I visited Elliot in the South of France where he’d been working on a superyacht. We spent a week in the sun travelling between ports on the French Riviera and, on the most stunning day, Elliot popped the question! And, of course, I said yes!

We planned our wedding for 5th September 2020. We haven’t planned anything over the top, keeping it all local to our home in Falmouth. The main thing we really wanted for our day, however, is a good party!

When the Covid-19 situation first started, we were both very relaxed about it. However, it was when Boris Johnson announced the firm lockdown that I had a little cry. We had a lot of family asking us what our plans were going to be if the wedding couldn’t go ahead and, with my mum travelling from Cyprus, she was concerned that she wouldn’t be able to get here or get home. It was not knowing that was really stressful.

After about five weeks of full lockdown and burying our heads in the sand, Elliot and I decided that it would be a good idea to get a ‘plan B’ ready. One thing that has really helped us has been talking openly with each other. Elliot is very matter of fact and practical, whereas I can be a bit more emotional, but because of this, we work well as a team and I found that adopting Elliot’s ‘it is what it is’ approach helped me not to get too

friends and family package.

Get Wed Online took care of all the arrangements, and Rebecca kept in touch with us regularly. We also had a preliminary chat with the celebrant, Nicola of the Cornish Celebrants (cornishcelebrants.co.uk), via Zoom, to discuss and plan details of the ceremony. We bought various decorations online such as ribbon and garlands of silk roses, as we had recently completed a new garden project (a summer house) and wanted to have the ceremony there in our garden if weather permitted. We already had our outfits, and we ordered a silk bouquet and buttonhole.

We had 14 households joining us for the ceremony, including our son in London, Dave’s mum and sister in Hampshire, and his brother and family in Cornwall. We also had various friends join us, both from the local area and from further away.

We had a really wonderful afternoon. We enjoyed preparing and decorating the garden and the ceremony itself was beautiful, including readings by our son and a local friend.

Although it was not what we originally planned, on reflection we felt it was a more meaningful and memorable event, made even more unique by the circumstances.”

do it! However, then our photographers emailed to say they were fully booked. We love our photographers, so I went back to everyone and suggested the week after. It took about three hours to get everyone lined up with the new date of 15th May as our backup plan. Just having a back-up made a huge difference to the stress that I was feeling and, after chatting with our florist, I had got so excited about May flowers that Elliot and I decided that we may just postpone altogether!

With our closest family in agreement, we sent a few confirmation emails and we had a new wedding date! I can’t put into words how much relief we both felt knowing that we had a new date booked. The little grey cloud of worry lifted instantly, and I am so excited for our May wedding!

I am very aware that our postponement is a positive one and my heart really does go out to couples who have not had the same experience. The fact that we had used many small, local suppliers really helped and, above all, communicating, sharing and being honest with each other and our family members has been what has made this process so easy. That, and not being precious over a date. At the end of the day, it is just a date and our love for each other won’t be any less just because we aren’t getting married this year. It just means we have a bit more time to plan and save.”

to get carried away and just add things for the sake of it. Remember your wedding budget and the vision you had for your day and stay true to that. Here are a few things Jenny suggests you could be working on…

Creating playlists These always take much longer than you think! You may want to consider them for: – The morning when you are getting ready – The drinks reception (between sets if you have a live musician) – During dinner for background music – The evening (between the bands sets and after they end).

Drafting your table plan One of the hardest tasks, my couples often say! Add in dietary information for your caterers.

Making a photography list Think about any particular shots you want your photographer to capture. This list does not need to be extensive (we encourage it not to be) – half a dozen or so important shots is ideal.

PLANNING A WEDDING DURING LOCKDOWN If you got engaged during the Covid-19 pandemic (congratulations!), Jenny can help you with looking ahead, planning, what to book (or not), and how to keep those excitement levels high!

Thinking about favours Perhaps you planned to make your own? Now is a good time to get crafty and prepare them (you will thank yourself later on when the wedding draws near and you have lots of other things to think about!).

It’s also a nice time to do something creative while at home. jennywrenweddingsandevents.co.uk

If you want to set a date in 2021 or 2022, start researching your venues now, as they are likely to be extremely busy with postponements over the next two years. Although viewings in person are not currently available, many venues are offering virtual tours online, either live if the owners are based on-site, or as pre-recorded films. You could book a planner to help you, many planners offer a venue sourcing service. They should know an abundance of venues in the county and often have had experience working at them previously, so their advice is priceless. Keep in mind that venues are likely to want to ensure all their postponed weddings from this year have a new date secured with them before taking new bookings, so you may need to wait to hear back after they have looked after their existing couples.

With regards to suppliers, again a planner can help, but if you don’t have one then really do your research. Look at reviews (not just on their website but on Facebook and Google too), join wedding planning forums to ask advice, look at magazines, and ‘attend’ online wedding fairs. You could even ask the supplier if they could put you in touch with one of their previous couples to speak to them directly. Ask the supplier for a video call – you need to like them as a person as well as the product or service they offer, and an informal chat can help you get to know them a little.

Ask your suppliers about their Covid-19 policy if you were to book them now and need to postpone later down the line. Some may be happy to agree to take the booking then change the date if needed. Ask them to put this in writing and include on their contract so you are covered. And take out wedding insurance too.

Make the most of any extra time you have now to get those checklist tasks ticked off and make a list of the things you need to do once lockdown has eased.

THE POWER OF FLOWERS Don’t underestimate the impact of your wedding flowers. Whether it’s your bouquet, buttonholes, décor or displays, the floral design underpins the overall look of your day.

An affinity with the English countryside and the Cornish coastline, along with an eye for detail and training at the renowned Tallulah Rose Flower School in Bath, informs the wildly elegant floristry of Lisa Marie Grigsby’s Down by the River Florals. Combining her passion for flowers with her committed approach to helping every couple achieve their vision, Lisa mindfully engages with every aspect of the floristry process. “I use seasonal and local blooms wherever possible as well as providing a focus on being foam and plastic-free,” she says. “To me, sustainable practice really matters and, coupled with an organic and natural approach to styling, I aim for my designs to encompass a mindful and honest ethos.”

Her 2021 diary is now open for bookings for both weddings and her bespoke hen party workshops, where DIY brides can learn how to make flower crowns, wreaths and macramé plant hangers. In addition, she’s in the midst of launching an online dried flower shop, featuring everything from flower crowns and buttonholes to gorgeous handmade gifts. Take a look for beautifully versatile, textured and trending dried flowers to style your wedding or spruce up your love nest. downbytheriverflorals.co.uk

WINNING CHARM

If your vision of a dream wedding venue is a canvas of lush pasture and woodland on Cornwall’s sublime south coast, then Trenderway is the country-meetscoast idyll for you. Located between Polperro and Looe, the listed farmhouse and restored barns overlook stunning lakes, offering history, character and a picture-postcard setting.

Toby Lowe

With no less than four licensed spaces in which to wed – including The Linhay Barn, a 200-year-old lovingly restored Cornish stone barn – the venue epitomises rustic charm and can be adapted to accommodate a small affair or grand-scale party of 120 guests or more. Couples can look forward to fabulous food and top-notch service, while exclusive-use events even come complete with five-star AA award-winning accommodation.

Testament to the spellbinding setting and the dedicated team’s passion for delivering enchanting weddings, Trenderway was a worthy winner of two accolades at this year’s South West Wedding Awards, netting ‘Wedding Venue Country’ and ‘Wedding Venue of the Year 2020’. trenderwayweddings.co.uk

DISCOVER THE MAGIC Nothing beats relaxing in the countryside, and Bosinver has redefined rural retreats with its beyond-beautiful bolthole located just outside St Austell.

Nestled in a hidden valley near the coast, the family-friendly location is the epitome of luxury self-catering holidays, meaning that – should you need to recommend a place for your guests to stay, require family accommodation for your wedding or are seeking somewhere special to host your hens (or indeed a pre or post-nuptial couple’s escape) – Bosinver is the place to be.

The award-winning venue presents 20 gorgeously styled detached cottages scattered amongst 30 acres of tranquil farm and woodland, where top-notch facilities meet scenic surrounds to magical effect. Wheelchair-accessible and dog-friendly, Bosinver has a range of requirements covered. Guests can lavish in garden hot tubs, take a dip in the pool, drink in the valley views and luxuriate amid stylish interiors, with kids made happy by everything from nature trails and outdoor play areas to a range of activities such as animalfeeding on the farm.

Eco-warriors will love Lowen: a luxurious zero-carbon energy, self-sufficient cottage, while hen parties will delight in the Farmhouse, which caters for up to 12 guests and comes complete with super-stylish and cosy touches, as well as a hot tub (with extras such as a private chef service that can be arranged). Should you feel the urge to leave the farm, there’s oodles to see and do nearby, from water sports and foraging sessions to spa days and vintage tea parties for a tailor-made stay of the most memorable kind. bosinver.co.uk

ART OF LOVE

Couples dreaming of an intimate celebration at one of Cornwall’s most elegant country house venues will find their vision manifest at Treseren, where wedding weekends for up to 20 people can be exclusively yours, allowing you and your dearest to relax in rural Trewithen, near the north coast.

The ‘homestead under the stars’ presents a variety of beautiful spaces to unwind, stay and say ‘I do’. Shepherds House and adjoining Skye Cottage are nestled amongst two acres of pretty grounds featuring south-facing terraces, secret garden pathways, an organic children’s play area and firepits for toasting marshmallows.

Joe Burford

The latest artistic additions further enhance the striking character of the venue. The oldest friend of owner Paul Caddis, British sculptor Ben Dearnley, paid him a pre-lockdown visit where he helped to engrave their new marble entrance sign and brought an assortment of artistic works to display in the house and gardens. Visitors will especially delight in the bronze sculpture of British swimmer and five-time Olympian, Mark Foster, which was part of Ben’s creation for a commission for the 2012 Olympics. A twice life-size sculpture Ben created is positioned in the centre of The City of Bath and the bronze at Treseren is the life-size version. Alongside this piece, there are sculptures of other Olympians and Paralympians from Ben’s ‘Avenue of Champions’ series that includes a torso of Paralympic medallist and wheelchair basketball champion, Ade Adepitan.

The eclectic curation of Ben’s work also showcases ‘Spirit of the Sea’, a stunning marble carving located in the lawned garden, while a female head fragment carving sits atop the mantelpiece in the drawing room, which has

SLICE OF HEAVEN The cake-maker extraordinaires at Peboryon have launched their new e-market delivery service, Black Box Cake. Scrumptious bakes from the custom wedding cake specialists, whose luxury mouth-watering creations have garnered a reputation for incredible flavour and design, can now be enjoyed in the comfort of your home or generously gifted to those you love.

“Until now, only our private clients have been able to receive slices of our cake in the post,” explains Christine Jensen. “The pause brought by 2020’s Great Adjustment has meant we’ve had space to expand that service to deliver cake joy on a wider scale. Hence, the birth of Black Box Cake. It’s not fast food. Each box will come with the same quality and care as all the bakes from our kitchen,” she elaborates. “It’s simply another way to celebrate people just as beautifully, but in everyday bite-sized chunks!”

Tucked away in far-flung west Cornwall, perched out on a rocky headland overlooking the iconic Mount’s Bay, sits a unique outdoor bathing pool. This historic art deco lido sets the scene for this intimate seaside wedding story, where local artists and wedding suppliers gathered together to create a dreamy set-up around the theme of a contemporary Cornish artist’s wedding.

Drawing on many of the associations with west Cornwall – art galleries, folklore, mild weather, fishing heritage and, of course, the eclectic architecture of Penzance town – Salt & Sea Photography Co. created the visual story of an artist and fisherman holding their intimate wedding celebration at Jubilee Pool. Deviating from conventional wedding décor and instead leaning towards the feel of a rustic, tucked-away-down-a-sidestreet art gallery, the beautiful minimal space of Jubilee Pool’s new café and event space provided the perfect blank canvas for a set-up of artworks, paintbrushes and feasting tables.

With contributions of art from Clare Webb and Molesworth & Bird, the pressed seaweed and whitewashed oil canvas styles married together, along with a natural, elegant cake and trestle tables, to set the tone of a lofty studio. Pippa of Zennor Wild and Sam of Stargazey Wedding Decor Hire transformed the upper gallery overlooking the pool into a breathtaking ceremony space with panoramic views of the bay. The poolside galleries also made the perfect spot for guests to play a selection of retro games, which served as a nod to the vintage roots of the lido.

Crafted in Cornwall by Ailsa Munro, the bride’s separates and jumpsuit-cape-combination reflected the contemporary and whimsical vibe of the setting and, paired with a Portuguese boater hat and leafy green bouquet, created a look befitting a Cornish artist on her wedding day. The groom’s three looks offer different degrees of formality to reflect the laid-back and quirky style of Penzance.

Opened in 1935, Jubilee Pool is the largest remaining example of an art deco lido in the country. In 2014, it was damaged by a horrendous storm and its future remained uncertain; however, the community, council and partners pooled together to raise and secure the funding to restore this much loved, historic saltwater bathing pool.

Today, Jubilee Pool has been lovingly restored and sits proudly upon Battery Rocks, a jewel in the crown of Penzance. Not only has the pool itself been given a new lease of life, but what was formerly a hatch and terrace café now boasts a stylish, beautifully designed café open all year round with accordion windows opening onto the terrace, letting that cool sea breeze waft in. Along with the developments, the lido now has its own event space for hire, which hosts exhibitions, community events, fitness classes and meetings. Along with the launch of the brand new geothermally heated pool (the first of its kind in the UK) to look forward to later this year, Jubilee Pool is also planning to host intimate weddings. To register your interest in holding your ceremony or reception at Jubilee Pool, please email weddings@ jubileepool.co.uk.

You’ll also find new dresses from Spanish designer Rosa Clara, whose dreamy designs ooze bohemian romance through features such as intricately detailed bodices, plunging necklines and free-flowing skirts in lightweight lace, soft tulle and crepe georgette.

Then there’s Australian label, Made With Love, whose latest designs have just landed. Specialising in creating unique, beautiful, affordable gowns, the collection merges modern fashion with a timeless sophistication to celebrate the female form via curve-hugging French crepe, soft Chantilly lace, daring deep backs, and handmade lace and boned bodices.

If that’s not enough dreaminess, the boutique is now stocking a hand-picked collection of gowns by leading designer Suzanne Neville. Beautifully handcrafted in London, the designs are as diverse as they are divine, ranging from slim-fitting bias cuts to full romantic gowns, using the finest silks and hand embroideries.

SHAPE OF YOUR LOVE Luna Novias, The Bridal Studio

Forget the ever-changing ideals of beauty and size – today’s bridal collections are a celebration of the female form in all its diverse glory.

By focusing on making high fashion wearable for the everywoman, designers are blending modern style with clever effects for the most flattering, fashion-forward of frocks, allowing you to achieve your bridal vision with confidence and ease.

Today’s catwalks are replete with figure-sculpting confections subtly concealing, cinching, exposing and accentuating your features for a look that’s oh-so gratifyingly ‘you’.

Body type: Curvy Silhouette: Ball gown, A-line/empire, full skirts Voluptuous bodies require more structured silhouettes in balance your figure while emphasising your assets.

Wrap dresses are an effortless choice, while strapless styles and skin-baring designs have a slimming effect

order to increase support, with the overall aim being to

– think open necklines such as sweetheart and plunge styles paired with a nipped-in waistline to showcase your cleavage and create a more exaggerated hourglass shape.

Bias-cut or form-fitting gowns that hug the hips and loan structural support to the bust are ideal, with ball gowns being the timeless solution. A fitted bodice supports and flaunts cleavage while a big skirt cinches the waist. We’re not talking boring, featureless ball gowns here. Instead, picture cascading tiers, criss-cross draping, Mikado cuffs, and elegant satin ball gowns that epitomise Hollywood glamour.

Just remember to avoid over-voluminous designs that may visually add weight, as well as high necks and anything especially loose or tight.

Body type: Petite/short Silhouette: A-line, column, fit and flare, short skirts

Smaller frames can experiment with high fashion finishes that lend volume to their look, including ruffles, drapery, pleating and puffy sleeves, but opt for light layers such as tulle skirts and sheer sleeves to prevent becoming overwhelmed by too much fabric.

Short gowns with nude heels are the perfect combination for petite types to lengthen their legs, with vertical details such as beading, seams and buttons, and updo hairstyles also increasing a sense of height and sartorial drama.

Shoulder and décolletage-baring styles such as sweetheart, plunge and off-the-shoulder or asymmetric necklines are another flattering option, while ’50s fitted styles, elbowlength or long kimono-style sleeves, midi dresses with thighhigh slits, micro minis, high-low hems and cropped jackets are other stunning stylistic choices.

Body type: Athletic/boyish/tall Silhouette: A-line, empire, sheath, bridal suits

Wtoo by Watters, Bliss Bridal Gowns

Leaner frames lend themselves perfectly to form-fitting styles, whether it’s the upper (go strapless, one-shouldered or halterneck), lower (try short/micro skirts) or entire torso (select separates/suits/sheaths) you’d prefer to parade.

Belted gowns add a high fashion flourish, as do oversized bows, a black sash and embellished belts, while sculpted styles accentuate your waist and, in turn, the curve of the bust and hips for a more defined hourglass shape. This can also be achieved with A-lines, sheaths and fishtails.

Slender brides can create curves and emphasise their willowy figures with frothy features and texture such as tiered skirts, or channel the Victoriana and bourgeois looks via ruffled collars, high/mock necks, cover-up styles and long sleeves.

Alternatively, minimalist options including tailored separates, jumpsuits, bridal coats and capes, are perfect for Amazonian figures. Complete with a supersized, embellished or colourful veil for a theatrical air of on-trend romance.

For added femininity, lace (choose a modern take on the traditional fabric with crochet, mosaic, and geometric)

smacks of boho and prairie whimsy. Nouveau art deco can be represented by mirror effect embellishment and intricately woven glitter and sequins, while ’20s style flapper frocks with

Body type: Hourglass Silhouette: Mermaids, sheaths, ball gowns

Rebecca Ingram, Bliss Bridal Gowns

An hourglass is defined by balance: the bust and hips share a similarly wide circumference nipped in with a narrow waist, making it a designer’s favourite form because it’s so easy to dress – and flatter.

Draw attention to your proportionate curves through figure-hugging designs such as the mermaid or trumpet, or select a ball gown with a modern twist for high fashion meets timeless style.

Any silhouette that maximises an hourglass shape is ideal, which can be classic or contemporary in design to suit your individual sense of style. Think strapless fishtails with deep plunge necklines, sultry sheaths with illusion backs or sexy cut-outs, and ball gowns with exposed corsetry, billowing tulle skirts and beautiful in-built trains.

Then there’s the dynamic, haute couture additions for further attention-grabbing effect, from feathers and fringing to ruffled trimming, watercolours,

HERE COME THE GIRLS

Let’s just admit it: female relationships can be complicated. Weddings have a habit of throwing all relationships under the microscope, and it often seems as though the bride’s choice of bridesmaids can be an especially contentious issue, particularly as us women are wonderfully complex creatures.

Declaring those you deem to be your most trusted gal pals is both a hugely joyous and honour-giving event, but the flipside is that your decision can leave others affronted, aggrieved; anguished, even.

Unfortunately for some, the process is often a cause of unintentional hurt, unnecessary stress and emotional pain during what is already one of the most psychologically magnifying times of every woman’s life.

“Choosing your bridesmaids can be a tricky decision; who will you have by your side through the thick and thin of planning the wedding?” asks wedding planner, Jenny Granlund of Jenny Wren Weddings & Events (jennywrenweddingsandevents.co.uk).

“Who can you trust for honest opinions on things, who will be there for Abi Riley

you as a calming influence and not judge you during bridezilla moments (let’s face it – everyone has them at least once)?” she says. “Who will hold your dress up and prim you to perfection before photographs, who will deal with any mini dramas that may occur on the day, who will dance to every single song, and – most importantly – who are true friends who you would want to share such a special time in your life with?” she posits to help narrow your selection.

The dream team Here’s the crux: it’s not a popularity contest. It’s about selecting someone based on your perception of their ability to carry out the role you require of them. It’s more about pragmatism, coping mechanisms, honesty of character and emotional support credentials than anything else. You might adore nights out with a particular friend, holidaying with another – but are they the best Grant Lampard

people to help you plan your hen do, deliberate your dress and manage any big day mishaps?

Communication is paramount. If you’re unsure, talk to your friends individually or (depending on the dynamics of your friendship circles) in a group, to ascertain what you want, and how they’re able to contribute.

You may be agonising between two people, completely unaware that one of them doesn’t like to be in the public spotlight, or feels anxious while under pressure. Perhaps they have just landed a promotion and simply won’t have the time to help with the planning, so ask. True friends are understanding, willing to actively listen, and want to be involved in your happiness. If umbrage is taken, chances are it’s not about you and if tensions boil, try a cooling-off period before broaching the subject and peacefully getting to the root of the conflict to seek a resolution. This shouldn’t be a source of grudge holding and, if that transpires, perhaps it’s evidence that your friendship has waned and therefore it’s time to adopt an ethos of ‘letting go’.

Select committee “A bridesmaid does not have to be a woman,” declares Jenny. “If your best friend is a man there is no reason why he can not make up part of the bridal party – your man of honour perhaps? The most important thing is that you include those you want to, whatever their gender.”

It’s also worth remembering that this is one instance where ‘the more, the merrier’ doesn’t necessarily apply. “Think carefully about this before you jump in to ask. Not only does each additional maid come with a potential

Nick Walker

price tag (for elements such as dress and bouquet), but too many maids can equal too many opinions.”

Her advice? “Take your time,” she says. “Once you have asked someone to be your bridesmaid, it is extremely difficult to un-ask them if you have

47

style | BRIDESMAIDS | HERE COME THE GIRLS The Unbridled

changed your mind. Let the excitement of being engaged mellow slightly before selecting.”

Set realistic expectations “Think about how involved you want your maids to be,” says Jenny. “Do you want them to attend dress shopping with you, arrange your hen do, help make decorations and attend pre-wedding shindigs? If so, it is worth considering who will actually be available to do this? Those who live far away, have very busy lifestyles or perhaps have a newborn may not be able to commit to this. This may cause frustrations later down the line and they will feel bad about not being able to help,” she adds.

“Don’t feel you are under obligation to ask someone just because they asked you,” reminds Jenny of another potential pitfall and political minefield.

“Friendships and relationships change over time and you may not be as close to the person you were bridesmaid for three years ago.”

Similarly, don’t feel like you have to follow tradition.

“Traditionally, the bride’s sister – if she has one closest in age to her – is the maid of honour. However, we are far from traditional in this day and age, so feel free to choose whoever you want,” says Jenny.

The decision of who will be your bridesmaids can be really difficult, but it is often just not feasible to include everyone you would like to in the bridal party.

“People will generally understand, but my tip would

be to acknowledge the fact they are not included and speak to them about it directly and explain, rather than glossing over it,” says Jenny. “Perhaps try and involve them in some other way – ask them to do a reading, for example.”

No more drama Another aspect to consider is how all of the bridesmaids will work and act together as a group – are there conflicts already present between certain parties, or will personalities complement each other?

“Think about group dynamics,” suggests Jenny. “Are there any characters that may clash? They are likely to be in contact a lot as they work together for you, so it’s worth thinking about this and how you can overcome any potential issues between certain people before they happen.” If you’re preoccupied with dispute management, it will be a lot more difficult to get things done and enjoy the planning period.

“Try to involve all of them, or at least give them the opportunity to be involved,” suggests Jenny. “Giving them all a voice will avoid anyone feeling left out.”

And the most important thing? “Remember they are your friends as well as your bridesmaids.

Sometimes it’s good to take off your wedding planner hat and enjoy some time with them with no wedding task talks.” They’re taking on a sizeable responsibility for you, so don’t forget to demonstrably appreciate that fact!

Unwind and Connect Whether you want to incorporate them as part of your hen party, or as a way to thank your maids for their help, we love these female-focused ideas...

Access Bars “I have previously done hen parties that include Access Bars, which are personally my favourite treatment to have,” says Pippa King from Cornwall Wellbeing, referring to an energetic process that involves gently touching 32 points on your head to release huge amounts of stress and blocked energy build-up from the mind and body. “A light touch is applied to specific points on the head to clear your mind, body and emotions of clutter, rather like a defrag of your inner computer. You feel clearer, lighter and freer after each treatment,” she says.

cornwallwellbeing.co.uk Bridal Blessings “A bridal blessing makes the ideal hen party to shower your bride with love as she starts this new journey,” says Emma Griffin from Sacred Spaces. “It supports, honours and celebrates the magical journey into this sacred union and commitment before her, surrounded by her soul sisters.” Emma can supply bridal blessing kits, or perform the blessing circle herself (in Cornwall), which involves a series of events including anointing, drinking sacred cacao, writing love notes to the bride, making a firepit and setting intentions into crystals to give to the bride. sacred-spaces.co.uk Women’s Circles Hosting regular women’s circles, moon-time talks, lunar circles and workshops, Trudi Holden at Wild Samsara’s regular events feature everything from feminine power to

MIX AND MATCH Showcase your bridesmaids’ individual sense of style with a mix and match approach. You might mix up your colours, prints, silhouettes or even textures – think gorgeous blends of velvet, chiffon, satin and tulle. Separates are another versatile and achingly modern option – we love a delicate lace top paired with a flowing skirt.

ROCK THE BLUES Shades of blue are on the most-wanted list. A less edgy alternative to black, gemstone-inspired hues of navy, sapphire and midnight blue bring a sense of drama and luxury. Meanwhile, softer shades of blue such as dusty blue and French blue are flattering for most skin tones while complementing a wide range of colour palettes.

Guava & Gold’s Paradise Found Shampoo combines a blend of hydrating avocado and manuka oils to restore your hair’s natural strength, providing shine and softness while evoking tropical beach vibes thanks to its signature heavenly fragrance.

Meanwhile, the Tinted Peach Pink and Tinted Rich Mocha balms are perfect for creating natural make-up looks – we love the pretty hues of the tinted colours for cheeks and lips. drpawpaw.com

personalised perfume Seeking the perfect W-day aroma? Unisex luxury fragrance brand Memoize London is home to a sublime selection. Choose from the Light Range, a collection of celestial scents that will envelope you in fresh, summery notes, and the Dark Range, a collection of evocative, rich and sensual perfumes – we love the woodiness of the limited edition Black Avarita, which combines base notes of amber and cedarwood with top notes of grapefruit and honey. The pink-bottled Rose Luxuria, a floral and oriental scent in the Exclusives Collection, is a gorgeous choice for brides. And our favourite bit? The bottles can be personalised with an engraved message or date on the cap – what a fab wedding gift for your partner, your bridal party…or maybe even yourself? memoizeperfume.com

feature | MAKING MAGIC

making magic From floral crowns to foraged feasts, go big on bonding with these creative hen party ideas words Lucy Higgins

The modern hen party is a far cry from the girlie gathering of yesteryear. The focus has shifted from L-plates, dubious straws and hazy nights in stickyfloored nightclubs to cherished experiences centred on bonding, precious together-time and maybe indulging your creative side or learning a new skill.

Here in the west, there are plenty of ways to make memories while making something special – whether it’s jewellery, gin or sugar flowers – to celebrate your last days as a single woman. We’ve rounded up some of our favourite ideas.

MAKING MAGIC

Create your own jewellery Carole Allen Jewellery’s hen workshops are the perfect solution for brides who haven’t ticked ‘jewellery for the bridal party’ off their wedmin list! Gathering in Carole’s light-filled studio in the heart of Cornwall, the talented jeweller will teach you how to make a special piece of jewellery, packed with meaning and memories.

Whether you opt for bracelets, necklaces or earrings, Carole will teach you to hammer, file, stamp, polish and finish your piece, ensuring the finished result is gorgeous quality and oh-so unique. We particularly love the personalised bracelets for a delicate and bespoke accessory for your bridesmaids. Carole can also teach you to make bangles or earrings from anodised aluminium for hens seeking a splash of colour. With drinks, nibbles and Prosecco provided, you are assured precious together-time, golden memories – and a piece of jewellery to treasure. caroleallenjewellery.co.uk

Learn how to make sugar flowers Renowned for her captivating wedding cakes, experienced cake designer Claire Potts of Claire’s Sweet Temptations has launched sugar flower classes, perfect for hens keen to learn the art of delicate petal crafting. As well as running smaller classes for up to four in her Clovelly studio in Devon, Claire can cater for larger hen parties at a venue of your choice. A lovely activity for a weekend away, she will bring all the equipment and ingredients needed to help you create the flowers, as well as a box to take your creations home. “This is the perfect introduction to anyone wanting to start their journey into the world of sugar flowers,” she says.

The flowers and techniques can then be used on your own wedding cake to bring a personal touch to your sweet centrepiece. clairessweettemptations.com

Craft flower crowns Cornwall-based florist Lisa Marie Grigsby, the talent behind Down by the River Florals, has launched a series of bespoke workshops – and her flower crown workshops are going down a storm with hens. “Using beautiful blooms, foliage and textures, you and your lovely hens can create beautiful flower crowns to adorn your heads, celebrating your hen do in style!” says Lisa, whose floral design and styling business has an organic and natural approach, often incorporating foraged hedgerow elements, wild flowers and grasses to provide elegant and unique floral designs individual to you. You might even choose to use dried flowers to preserve your crowns, so your bridal party can wear them on the big day.

Sessions can be held either at the Down by the River Florals’ studio in Perranwell between Falmouth and Truro or a venue of your choice. downbytheriverflorals.co.uk

Turn your hand to sculpture A memorable way to learn a new skill with a lot of laughs along the way, Richard Austin’s sculpture workshops are guaranteed to put smiles on faces.

The workshops are held at Richard’s studio in Wadebridge for up to 12 people, or the experienced sculptor can travel to your venue and set up the workshop in your own space. Don’t worry, the creative process is not messy! During the two-hour workshop, each person will create a sculpted face out of clay to take home – perhaps your bridal party will make one of themselves, of you, or of your partner, to display at your wedding! Even if you’ve never worked with clay before, you’ll be surprised at how creative, satisfying and fun-filled the process can be. sculptureworkshop.co.uk

Distil gin in the Cornish countryside Picture this: an idyllic spot in the Cornish countryside where you can make your own gin and spend the night in a treehouse or shepherd’s hut. Green Cart Farm, an off-grid botanical farm in Lostwithiel, offers a range of workshops in its essential oils distillery. One of our favourites is the ‘Gin Making and G&Tea in a Tree House’ course, where you’ll be guided through the distillation process, selecting your own botanicals and distilling your own bottle of artisan gin in a traditional copper still. Afterwards, an afternoon tea served before rural views awaits, including the gins made in the workshop for you to enjoy, as well as handmade scones, cucumber sandwiches and pastries. We love the idea of staying the night, making memories with your dearest friends amidst fiery sunsets and starry skies, and waking to a full English breakfast and a bottle of custom gin to take home. greencartfarm.co.uk

Go foraging The wild landscape of Cornwall’s far west is the perfect place for immersing yourself in nature and discovering the joys of foraging.

Fat Hen, a wild cookery school based in St Buryan, offers a range of foraging and culinary experiences that can be adapted to suit your group. Drawing on years of experience in ecological consulting, plant identifying and botany, Caroline Davey will take you on a guided foraging walk before heading to the kitchen to cook up your freshly foraged fare, providing an opportunity to spend time together in a relaxed and fun way whilst learning new skills and feeling the health benefits of being outdoors. “Foraging for wild food and cooking are naturally collaborative activities. These activities are a great way of improving individual and group well-being,” says Caroline, who also runs hands-on cookery courses that include everything from seaweed foraging and cooking, to crab on the beach, and game cookery. Wild walks and fresh food – what could be better? fathen.org

SPEAK EASY

Traditionally speaking When my usually shy and retiring bride-to-be friend recently announced to our group that she was making a speech at her upcoming nuptials, we all panicked. She can’t tell a joke without turning radish red, we mused, how is she going to cope with this limelight-hogging moment? But being shy shouldn’t stop anyone from being deliriously happy and grateful and wanting to say it out loud. And the good news is, bride’s speeches don’t have to conform to anything, as there is no rulebook. Wedding speeches by the bride haven’t historically been a traditional part of wedding ceremonies and receptions, although they are slowly becoming more prevalent.

Freckle Photography

“The bride’s speech is still seen as relatively rare at the typical British wedding; however, weddings are becoming less about traditions and so much more about reflecting a couple’s personality and independence,” says wedding planner Jessica from Ardour & Bow Weddings & Events (ardourandbow.co.uk). And our recent bride-to-be agrees. “I had so much to say,” she explains. “Although we had reflected our personalities and relationship through the decorations and theme, I had so much love and joy and gratitude for my new husband and our friends and family that I couldn’t convey through décor alone! And thank you notes and on-the-day drunken hugs just wouldn’t have done justice to how I felt,” she says, “I wanted to vocalise exactly how I felt on the day – through the power of a speech.”

Nerve swerve So how best can you get over the hurdle of on-the-day speech-induced nerves? Well, firstly there’s a glass of champagne (just a glass!), although make sure you don’t Nova Wedding Photography

have too much and completely lose your filter. No one wants to make a drunken rambling speech that your nearest and dearest will remember forever. If you’re keen to say a few words but don’t want to ruin the celebrations by sweating and panicking beforehand, why not choose to say something at a different time to the other speeches? That way you won’t feel the pressure of speaking when everyone is expecting it.

Our bride explains how she didn’t let feelings of fear take over. “I can be quietly witty, but I feel more confident in a one-to-one chat rather than big groups,” she says. “So I channelled my fear into my voice and, although I could see all my friends and family in front of me, in my head I was speaking to only one of them – my maid of honour.” So if there’s one person who, above all others, helps ground you, just focus on them.

“But remember that you will be surrounded by your friends and family,” says Jessica. “Everyone in the room is there for you, to love you and congratulate you, so there’s no need to feel anything other than love and support from your crowd.”

Funnily enough “Great speeches are often those that are said from the Keeper Creative

heart, are peppered with humour and speak directly to your guests and your partner,” advises Jessica. Ah, yes, humour, the big one when it comes to setting the room alight. But your speech doesn’t need to be rolling-onthe-floor funny, or even funny at all, particularly if

leveller and a brilliant icebreaker, relaxing your audience and therefore you. If you’re not naturally funny, or struggle to write your own witticisms, you can choose someone else’s work and read out a funny poem or prose. Or if you don’t want to be funny, be clever, and above all be heartfelt, perhaps with a poem that focuses on your partner and incorporates key moments in your relationship to date.

Be sincere with detailed thanks to everyone who is there on the day, mentioning anyone who has helped you with specific jobs. Take the time to talk about friends and family who may not be able to be present on the day. “When thinking about what to include in your speech, tailor-make it to your audience,” says Jessica. If you’re having a bijou do, standing up and saying a few heartfelt words about how special it is to have such a small select group on your big day would be appropriate, whereas a 100-strong crowd packed with school and university friends might allow for a more raucous approach.

In it together How about making a speech together? “Marriage is a partnership after all, so I love the idea of both of you making a speech,” says Jessica. “Just make sure you coordinate what you are going to say in advance to avoid repetition.” Couples speeches can also be witty, for example, saying a line each from a funny poem you have created about each other, and an easy way to steal the show is to offer up a heartfelt speech from the two of you. There won’t be a dry eye in the house if you both lament how much the day means to you… you could even look each other in the eye as you say it.

Practice makes perfect Whatever you decide to say and however you decide to say it, preparation is the key to feeling good and appearing confident when you’re talking to a group of any size.

Whether you add in some impromptu jokes or stick to a wellrehearsed deliverance, make sure you know what you want to say. And at the end of the speech, whether there were ad libs or omissions, it doesn’t matter, but put the heart into your speech by knowing what’s at the heart of your speech.

SWEET VELVETEEN

words Hannah May & Lucy Higgins

3.

Pack a debonair punch by donning something velvet for your big day. The feelme fabric is a particular lust-have in the latest groomswear collections, and can be worn head-to-toe for a lavish look, or coolly incorporated via one item of clothing such as the jacket or an accessory.

From classic black to midnight blue, pick a palette to suit the season, venue or bridal party, or up the ante by combining velvet with another top trend: jewel tones. Think emerald green, rich burgundy, bright blue, or berry – or, for an en vogue summer shindig, opt for white, tan, ice blue, and light grey.

THE NEW TWEED

Tweed is becoming a perennial staple in grooms wear the globe over. It is in the midst of a makeover though, courtesy of a colour wash. Earthy greens such as olive, muted greys, browns, and darker blues remain timeless tweed options, but brighter shades of Binky Nixon

sage, oatmeal and gunmetal blue are emerging as the top trending colours.

From jackets and waistcoats to suits, tweed can be worn in a number of ways: colour blocked, mixed and matched, or via a single accessory such as a tie or bow tie for a

touch of texture. Add pattern such as plaid and bold checks (think windowpanes with hot pink lines, orange and blue Tattersall), and you’ll be a high scorer on the style marks.

COOL CUSTOMISATION It’s all in the details, gents – but rather than wearing your pizzazz on your sleeve, opt for something more subtle with hidden customisations.

Think monogrammed patches, embroidery or even a personal design on the lining of your jacket that will flash some colour and charisma when caught in the breeze. “The ultimate personalisation of any suit is when the lining and cloth is made exclusively for you”, says David Brooke of Mathieson & Brooke Tailors, whose statement linings are coveted in both celebrity circles and by grooms wanting to don a personality-packed piece of fashion with undeniable panache. Go for a lining featuring your engagement photos for ultimate brownie points!

LOST IN PARADISE

The allure of a tropical wedding, of marrying amidst waxy palms and feasting on zesty flavours, is a captivating one. Deciding to marry in Britain, however, doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your visions of a paradisiacal party.

“The inspiration was to combine and infuse a modern tropical style in a more traditional, more likely setting,” explains wedding planner Rebecca Marie of Rebecca Marie Weddings & Events who coordinated and styled the shoot. “We want to show couples that it is OK to have a little bit of fun with your styling and details, and that inspiration can be taken from anything and anywhere in the world.”

Rich emerald and sapphire accents feature throughout, and the striking, oversized bouquet is a blend of tropical foliage alongside the varying textures of locally grown flowers. “It was important for us to feature lots of details that complemented the bigger, bolder statements,” explains Rebecca. “Our wish list included lush greenery, vibrant blooms, zesty punches of colour and direct references to that tropical paradise.”

Unique and memorable food packed with flavour is a priority for most couples – and an essential ingredient of a tropical wedding. “A menu of exquisite Asian-inspired food was beautifully executed and visually appealing, as was the showstopping cake with details to impress and an exotic flavour profile of mango and coconut!” says Rebecca.

Such a distinctive wedding aesthetic demands equally striking bridal wear. The bride exudes a playful modern style in a luxe silk wrap dress with a deep-V neckline and thigh slit paired with statement earrings.

A tie-neck jumpsuit, an up-and-coming trend for modern brides, enhances the party-ready vibe, and looks stunning teamed with a bold hair scarf and lip colour. “Any fashion-forward bride is in need of a welltailored groom, and the groom’s look, featuring a black and blue velvet statement tuxedo, does not disappoint,” adds Rebecca.

Standing outside on a stormy day, the wind whipping her skirts and toying with the tendrils of hair around her face, the bride in this styled shoot is thoroughly embracing the Cornish elements.

“We had planned a pretty, spring editorial with a palette of pinks and greens and featuring lots of seasonal foliage,” says photographer Arianna Fenton, who coordinated the shoot. “But as the date approached, it became apparent that the weather would be typically rainy and stormy.”

While not part of the original vision, the weather adds a captivating, elemental feel to the images, while showcasing the rustic spaces and waterside arbour of Knightor Winery. A palette of forest green and pretty pink carries through the details, from the hand-painted cake to the stationery, the colours popping against the crisp whites. Eucalyptus adds a lush, earthy vibe to the tablescape, the backdrop of exposed brick walls and twinkling fairylights bringing rustic charm in abundance.

The bride, meanwhile, nails contemporary, weatherready bridal style: her light, delicately detailed separates add playful movement, while her textured hair, adorned

with wispy florals and foliage, is the perfect look for a laid-back, rustic-chic day. She carries a wild, foliage-rich bouquet dotted with pink petals – and, of course, the ultimate wet weather bridal accessory: an umbrella!

PITCH PERFECT RoCha Sunset Designs Tipis

The ‘where?’ of weddings is one of the biggest questions to ponder. Because one of the reasons the south-west entices couples to tie the knot here is exactly that: its endless diversity.

Here, you can get married by – or even on – the water thanks to the numerous beaches, rivers and lakes, or opt for a ceremony in the wild with countryside, clifftop and cairn, woodland, field and valley all at your fingertips.

But if you’re still not sure exactly where to wed and find yourselves bouncing between building, tent and open space, we’ve enlisted the help of the experts to share their top reasons for choosing a marquee wedding.

1. Be part of your surrounds “One of the most obvious reasons for choosing a Coast2Coast Marquees

marquee or tipi wedding is to fully immerse yourself in gorgeous scenery as a backdrop for your whole day,” says Hayley Jones from Sunset Tipis (sunsettipis. com). “In Cornwall we’re blessed to have a wealth of clifftop locations with dramatic sea views or rolling countryside vistas. What could be more romantic for you and your guests than to gaze out to the sparkling ocean bathed in sunshine as the sun sets?”

Marquees can be placed on almost any type of terrain, and to optimise the feeling of bringing the outside in, the sides and windows can be positioned to frame the views, or better yet can be opened up to physically merge with the outside space.

“Clear window walls allow the best possible views and make the most of the beautiful scenery,” explains Andrew Thomas from Coast2Coast Marquees (coast2coastmarquees.co.uk). Providing a naturally picturesque backdrop to proceedings as well as protection from any weather fronts, they allow

Absolute Canvas

your guests to swoon upon sun-spilled field or rainlashed clifftop to equally as beguiling effect.

2. Any event, anywhere Though you’ll need to discuss aspects such as access and facilities with your supplier, one of the benefits of a tent is that it can be pitched on practically any site.

“One of the main advantages of a marquee wedding is the ability to have the reception pretty much anywhere you wish, be it a place with sentimental connections or simply breathtaking views,” says Andrew.

As such, couples can creatively use space and location for a day that matches their requirements and vision, be it a grand-scale celebration in a wide open space or a small party in a private setting.

“A marquee can often give the option of having a larger number of guests than a lot of venues are able

Taylor & Porter

to provide,” says Peter Bickford-Smith of Trevarno

Eden Project

Marquee & Event Hire (trevarnomarquees.co.uk).

“Also, if someone wants a small intimate wedding or the option of having the wedding at home or at a family property, a marquee can be the answer.”

A marquee’s versatility also extends as far as seasons go, with most being able to withstand and adapt to

Coast2Coast Marquees

everything from a heatwave to gale force winds and torrential rain, making it a stellar all-weather, alllocation choice.

3. You call the shots If you dream of complete creative freedom with minimal restrictions in order to design the most distinctive of days, then a wedding under canvas might be the best option for you.

“Another benefit of a marquee or tipi wedding is that you have complete autonomy over your catering and drinks selection,” explains Hayley. “You are essentially the creative director of your whole day. Whether you want elegant plated meals, relaxed sharing platters or food vans parked outside, the feel of your wedding lies in your hands.”

“With a marquee, the client can choose everything from the colouring, lighting, table and chair options Grant Lampard

down to their choice of crockery, cutlery and glasses… and you can choose the entire layout of the marquee,” says Peter.

“There is also greater flexibility with timings,” he continues. “Often a couple will have at least one full day before the wedding to do any decorating and can also have use of the marquee the day after the wedding.” For couples wanting to take their time with the final preparations or extend their celebrations by hosting an after-party the next day, a marquee provides the perfect solution.

4. Blank canvas With more couples seeking to stamp their personality via every detail and create a day that’s utterly unique, a marquee provides a blank canvas to imprint their imaginations exactly as they desire.

Coast2Coast Marquees

“The ability to dress the marquee to your spec enabling a completely bespoke layout is another advantage,” says Andrew. “There are so many places in marquees that decorations can be attached and suspended; you are only limited by your imagination and guidance from your marquee company as to what will work.”

Tipis also make a brilliantly versatile canvas for styling. “You can dress tipis in many different ways, from casual festival to a more traditional feel; its adaptability means that it can work around the vision of any couple,” says Jo Bastien at World Inspired Tents (worldinspiredtents.co.uk). “The tipi structure allows for lots of hanging décor (pom-poms, bunting, ribbons, chandeliers), or draped flowers and foliage. You can also light the outside of the tipis with festoons that can

be hung peak to peak or on shepherds’ crooks to form a pretty walkway.”

Alternatively, take a pared-back approach and allow the surrounding scenery to take centre stage against the natural design and colours of the canvas.

“We also love tipis for an outdoor wedding venue as they require so little in the way of wedding décor,”

says Hayley. “With fairylights strung everywhere,

Absolute Canvas

firepits, and the cosy modular design of the tipi, they’re perfectly party-ready as they are. Then it’s easy to add little touches of colour and flowers to personalise the tipis without feeling overwhelmed by the amount of empty space to decorate.”

5. The bespoke factor From place and tent type to décor and layout, a marquee wedding is the ultimate in bespoke events. For example, you can select a tipi village for a festival-style wedding, a classic clear-span marquee for floor-to-ceiling views, or a giant hat tipi for statement impact.

“Tipis also provide a stunning backdrop in wedding Thomas Frost

photographs,” says Jo, citing another selling point of a wedding under canvas.

“The feeling of organising your own tipi wedding can feel so fulfilling as you know your wedding day was

completely original and personal to you,” says Hayley.

“And as you welcome your guests into the tipis, the exclamations of ‘wow!’ can be heard everywhere.

Add the dramatic views and all your loved ones to share it with – what could be better?”

TIPI-TOP TIPS Hayley from Sunset Tipis shares her advice on

Sunset Tipis

how to plan the perfect wedding under canvas

Have a Plan B “It would be naive of me to say that every single marquee or tipi wedding is bathed in glorious sunshine with no wind or rain. Ask your provider exactly what the contingency plans are for extreme weather conditions. At Sunset Tipis, we offer full height walled window panels that allow maximum head space inside the tipis allowing you to enjoy the view while still protecting you from rain. We›ll also talk through all your options for anything else that might crop up and help plan around it.”

Get insurance “This is our advice for any kind of wedding! Do your research and put wedding insurance high on your list of priorities.”

Ask the experts “Use your marquee or tipi providers for help with sourcing suppliers, and they should be able to help point you in the right direction of what you’ll need in regards to power, toilets etc. They’ve also put up marquees and tipis all over the place so if you’re looking for a field or venue, ask them.”

Available in a spectacular variety of mouth-watering flavours that look and taste incredible, Kern’s charismatic twin bakers guarantee the most guestpleasing coffee break any wedding could wish for. kernofkernow.co.uk

The term ‘food trucks’ no longer conjures visions of tired wagons serving beige fried foodstuffs. Today, stylish vehicles and food stands serving innovative and flavoursome edibles good enough to rival your favourite restaurant are the norm.

One of the many joys of having mobile food or drinks at your wedding is that you can choose whatever you want to devour wherever and whenever you want to devour it. Serving a pre-chosen menu at a scheduled hour and place, you and your guests can tuck into an al fresco feast of the highest calibre while intermingling

Kernow Forno Not only does the pizza menu feature the salivating likes of Cornish salami, butternut squash, spicy lamb ragout, meatballs, mackerel fillets and BLT, but Kernow Forno can also serve up other culinary delights such as fresh salads, sharing platters and cakes and puds to finish. Producing up to 70 pizzas an hour ensures fabulous fast food with minimal fuss and maximum flavour. Run by husband-and-wife duo Sarah and Simon Pryce, the travelling kitchen also supports the environment as much as possible, with biodegradable packaging, foraged firewood and solar panels all part of the finely tuned production process. kernowforno.co.uk

They look the show-stealing part, too.

Think glossy airstream, retro horsebox, vintage French van or even a bona fide boat bar for an eye-catching and crowdpleasing feature to your celebrations.

And there’s a staggering choice to boot.

From cocktails and craft spirits to pizzas, German bundt cakes and Indian thali street food, we’ve scoured the south-west for the best mobile food and drinks that will guarantee the wow factor alongside an exceedingly top-tasting day.

The Buffalo Oozing the style factor courtesy of light-up letters atop a sleek and shiny body, The Buffalo makes an eye-catching addition to any wedding day. Offering liquid catering via a full service or customised bar, couples can create their own signature cocktail menu from locally sourced, seasonal ingredients for extra-personalised flavour. With staff, glassware and licensing all included, simply pick your menu and allow them to spread the liquid cheer as a free bar, pay bar or credit-behind-the-bar, according to your budget. From welcome cocktails to wine and water for your wedding breakfast and toast drinks, the team attends to your drink requirements for every moment of the day, from a converted and seriously stylish airstream! thebuffalo.co.uk

THAT’S THE SPIRIT

Ever been to a wedding that looked fabulous but was somehow lacking spirit? In a bid to plan the perfect W-day, couples can sometimes appear to lose themselves to the process and forget one of the core components of matrimony: the joining of souls. Though the big event is between a couple, a wedding also unites families and friends and is thus a celebration of self, coupledom and the wider community; of all of your relationships.

As a result, an increasing number of nearly-weds are turning their attention to Devon Rose Photography

something more holistic, from self-care and healing to establishing a state of prewedding calm and centeredness, in order to experience a heightened sense of joy on the day, and beyond.

“There are some lovely touches that couples can now add to bring spirituality and well-being to their special day,” observes wedding planner Rebecca Green from The Unique Cornish Event Company (theuniquecornishevent.co.uk). “It makes the whole experience more inclusive and serene so they can focus on what’s important: the connection of two people and those that they love surrounding them.”

If you’ve got the style factor down but are searching for a bit more substance, we’ve looked into the latest movements to ensure your celebrations feature a spiritual je ne sais quoi, from handfasting and sand pouring ceremonies to fortune telling, cleansing rituals, crystal therapy and Reiki. Pick and choose which elements suit you, or embrace them all to help you not only host a distinctive day, but embark upon Devon Rose Photography

marriage with a more relaxed and balanced body, soul and mindset.

The planning stages Many couples pick a date with personal meaning, but why not also choose a day to coincide with a cosmic event? From season to day and ceremonial timings, you can schedule all elements for extra significance and metaphysical impact. “The moon cycle and the cycle of year are pagan-inspired and are often used to determine the timing of the ceremony – and we can reference the gifts of the moon or Earth during the ceremony,” says Nicola Le Couteur Bisson from The Guild of Cornish Celebrants (cornishcelebrants.co.uk).

Before the day, fostering key relationships (including the one with yourself) will help you to banish stress and nerves while letting go of latent emotional baggage in order to approach your wedding in the most positive and open-minded way. Hen parties are also a prime opportunity, with the likes of bridal blessing circles ideal modes for

Devon Rose Photography

matriarchal reconnecting and rebooting.

The pre-wedding period Then comes the self. “To help you regain balance, increase your sense of well-being and leave you feeling centered and calm, I’d recommend rebalancing Reiki and crystal therapy,” says witch, spiritual mentor and energy medicine practitioner Emma Griffin of The Sacred Space (sacred-spaces.co.uk). “Enjoy an aura cleansing that will remove negativity then crystal chakra alignment, followed by Reiki healing. Reiki helps clear the energy and aura, and helps you to relax, heal and balance. It is a wonderful way to reduce stress and anxiety,” she explains.

Intuitive therapist and energy healing teacher Philippa King from Cornwall Wellbeing (cornwallwellbeing.co.uk) specialises in mental and emotional well-being and adopts a similar approach. “I embrace reducing stress, clearing fears, blocks, anxieties and any thought or emotional patterns that are impacting the quality of life, so you can feel good about yourself and all areas of life,” she says. “The holistic approaches I use are fast, effective and create lasting positive changes.”

Philippa recommends that before they get married, couples try Reiki and/or ‘access bars’, which involves gently touching the 32 points on your head that correlate to different aspects of your life “to clear your mind, body and emotions of clutter –

Devon Rose Photography

rather like a defrag of your inner computer. You feel clearer, lighter and freer after each treatment,” she says.

She also practises neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and ThetaHealing “to clear any worries about the big day and align their intentions for happiness together”, while Rahanni celestial healing aims to harness “more harmony individually and as a couple”.

feature | THAT’S THE SPIRIT!

Alternatively, emotional freedom techniques (EFT) can help banish fears about public speaking (such as

Photography Griffin Photography

the wedding speeches) and – along with Philippa’s other techniques – can be individually tailored to assist couples to “stay centred, balanced and calm, and easily release emotional or stress overwhelm so they can enjoy their big day”.

On the day Most couples are so consumed with looking their best on their wedding day that their feelings can become secondary. By remembering to incorporate a sense of the spiritual into the final preparations, couples can extend and enhance their inner calm while bringing their guests into their enlightened fold.

Rebecca suggests asking the bridal party to use smudge sticks in the places where the couple are getting ready and the ceremony space itself.

“Smudge sticks are bundles of herbs bound together by twine. Burning these herbs in order to prevent illness, ward off negative energy or cleanse a space, person or group is a tradition that goes back thousands of years,” she explains.

“It’s really important to have self-care the morning of the wedding for the bride,” says Emma. “I would recommend starting with a meditation holding a crystal, journaling your thoughts while drinking my hug-in-amug Sacred Cacao, then smudge stick themselves and the bridesmaids with white sage”.

Philippa agrees that energy and emotional purging is an important component of the wedding day ritual.

“Create a sacred space by energy clearing the area of the ceremony and using specific crystals to create a space filled with love and joy,” she encourages, which is a sentiment that Emma ardently echoes.

“Crystal energy makes a wonderful addition to your experiences as you embark on a love and joy-filled journey with your soulmate,” says Emma. “Crystal can be added to your flowers, the bride can wear a crystal necklace, or they can be used in your table settings, from agate place cards to a rainbow of crystal clusters in all shapes and sizes. Tumbled crystals make great favours for your guests,” she suggests.

“Rose quartz is the stone of unconditional love and all matters of the heart; celestite carries high vibrations and calming powers, making it the perfect stone to walk down the aisle with (and it could also be your something blue), and clear quartz opens the heart and mind to higher guidance and balances all of your chakras. And if you’re using any other crystals in your ceremony, clear quartz will simply amplify all of those positive effects as well,” she details.

During the ceremony There are a wide variety of ways to personalise and infuse extra spirituality into the main moments of your day, especially your ceremony.

“Guests can be asked to take a blessing stone as they enter the ceremony, which they hold to stay present

and connected to proceedings whilst giving their blessing of good fortune to the unity of the couple,” says Rebecca. “Some couples ask for the stones

Photography Griffin Photography

to be collected after so they can be kept to create something with them.

I heard of one couple using them as part of a fireplace they were building, to create a mosaic for the hearth”.

Sand pouring – sometimes referred to as a ‘blending of the sands’ – is another poignant option. “This is where the couple pours a small amount of sand each into a vessel to symbolise their ‘coming together’ as a couple, which is a really nice addition in Cornwall, especially if you’re getting married on or near the beach,” says Rebecca, who cites a further natureinspired idea: tree planting. “During the ceremony, the newly-weds should place soil from two separate containers on top of the planting, representing two individuals coming together as one.”

Celebrant Nicola has been involved in a variety of ceremonial events that can be incorporated to suit each couple’s backgrounds and beliefs, as well as the venue and season. On one occasion, a couple placed ivy in a ring to mark the ceremony area. “The ivy is symbolic – it is an evergreen plant and represents eternity, fidelity, and strong affectionate attachment, love and friendship,” says Nicola, who also suggests a joining of hands – “everyone present holds hands to show unity” – and meditation at the beginning of the ceremony, to bring everyone to the present and focused.

A conscious pause for mid-ceremony reflection is an increasingly popular way to absorb the present moment and can be prompted in a number of ways, such as a Tibetan ringing bowl. “The bowl rings and commences a moment of silence for all to bring their love and thoughts to the couple,” explains Nicola. “Asking for a silence is a wonderful way of bringing a sense of meaningfulness and sincerity to the ceremony, but it has to be carefully judged so that it doesn’t go on too long”.

And don’t be afraid to incorporate all the senses for a multi-dimensional sense of spirit. “A sounding of a gong – either at the beginning or end of the ceremony – is used to bring a sense of joy and occasion to the proceedings, while a hand or feet washing ceremony shows a sense of service and love towards each other,” reveals Nicola. “We also had a couple have a tattoo during a ceremony!” she divulges as another quirky example of the many ways couples can bare their souls and share their love during the ceremony.

At the reception Whether you wish to spruce up your drinks reception with some interactive and spiritual-themed fun, or incorporate some novel and New Age-style entertainment to the evening’s celebrations, there’s plenty of inspiration to help make things more meaningful and bespoke.

“It’s fun for guests to be treated to something a little bit different, with an array of well-being activities including roaming masseuses giving head or hand massages,” says Rebecca. “You could offer guests a fun yet spiritual form of entertainment for the evening, like tarot, angel cards, fortune telling or even palm readings, making sure that your practitioner knows to keep it light”.

Think live music and dance with a modern spiritual element like a ukulele act, African drummers, ballet or salsa, and take your personal pick from energised performances or meditative sets designed to establish and enhance mood.

From astrological-inspired décor to celestial detail in the dress, adorn yourself and your spaces with upbeat and thoughtful minutiae. This could include scenting with special incense, lighting aromatherapy candles and features such as aura paintings and wishing bowls. Request that your guests send a ‘good vibration’ wish back with their RSVP card and then place them in a large bowl at the reception entrance or in smaller bowls on each table for guests to take a wish each – and watch as the love and feel-good factor spreads with one simple gesture.

Atlantic Hotel With an endless stretch of ocean shimmering at the windows, the Atlantic Hotel – perched close to Fistral Beach on Cornwall’s north coast – offers a glamorous and versatile take on seaside luxury. The clifftop venue wows from the moment you enter the red-carpet-adorned marble entrance, with its sweeping staircase, glittering chandeliers, champagne bar and sun-trap pool. Hosting weddings for 10 through to 300 guests, choose from the art deco-styled Grand Ballroom, the elegant Tea Lounge or the Gatsby-esque vibe of Café Atlantica to take your vows. Take a loved-up wander across the headland as the sun sets and listen to the murmur of the tide from your sea view room. atlantichotelnewquay.co.uk

Carbis Bay Hotel & Estate Boasting an enviable position right on the edge of the sands of its very own Blue Flag accredited beach, Carbis Bay Hotel & Estate offers dreamily romantic options for a seaside wedding. There’s the elegance and elevated ocean views of the Main House; the relaxed vibes and beachside terrace of the Wedding Hut; or marry within touching distance of the shore at The Lower Deck. The new Ocean Venue is the piece de resistance, with its champagne bar, lounge bar, restaurant, and super-chic beach suites. The wedding suite is a sublime space for up to 180 guests to celebrate before panoramic views across St Ives Bay, while C Bay Spa is just the spot for a pre-wedding pamper, with its outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna and hydropool. carbisbayhotel.co.uk

All, of course, come with uninterrupted ocean views. With fiery sunsets and dramatic cliffs – plus the option for a mid-celebration surf and dancing in the sand under the stars – this little cove offers romance in spades for sea-loving souls. lustyglaze.co.uk

Hotel Tresanton A cluster of houses sitting just above the shoreline in St Mawes, Hotel Tresanton is an enchanting spot to marry. Specialising in intimate weddings from two to 70, hold your wedding in the ambient interiors of the hotel – beautifully styled by owner Olga Polizzi – or the Mediterranean-style beach club where you can marry tantalisingly close to the sea. Set just above the waterline, guests can mingle beneath parasols over champagne and oysters Lee Maxwell

while taking in views across the water to St Anthony’s Lighthouse. With 30 rooms and suites, a restaurant with sea-view terraces, a Dogs’ Bar, and a private sailing boat, as well as a playroom and children’s garden, it’s a magical place to call home for a blissful few days. tresanton.com

The Driftwood Spars Perched on the edge of Trevaunance Cove in St Agnes, The Driftwood Spars is rich in the atmosphere of the Cornish coast. Dating back to the 1650s, the building has been a tin mining warehouse, sail-making loft and fish cellar – now a cosy pub, this seaside treasure offers a series of charmpacked spaces for a relaxed and sustainable beachside wedding. There’s a Cliffside Garden for drinks receptions served with salty air, sea views and an extensive selection of hand-picked ales, ciders, wines and spirits as well as handcrafted beers from the venue’s own brewery.

The Rosevine Located within pebble-hurling distance of the shore on the edge of the Roseland Peninsula, this home-from-home Georgian house has cosy lounges, an indoor pool, a restaurant and 15 apartments. Blending its 18th century elegance with contemporary seaside style, the ‘Big House by the Sea’ is ideal for a relaxed coastal celebration. Host a gorgeously intimate ceremony and feast inside the house for up to 65 or throw a dazzling tipi reception on the lawn with views across Gerrans Bay for larger numbers.

Draw the day to a close with toasting marshmallows under the stars to the whisper of the sea. Dreamy. rosevine.co.uk

There’s a spectacular choice of settings to marry too, from the Church to the Stable Yard, to the sunken Georgian Bath House, scenic Dorothy Garden or the wildly romantic Pinetum hidden in the woods. Throw the personality-packed party of your dreams across these beautiful settings, whether it’s your Friday Tim Charles

night supper in the Stable Yard, drinks on the lawn or dancing the night away in the magnificent Smoking Room. There’s accommodation for 40 at this exclusive hire venue as well as plenty of space to set up a glamping village within the grounds. boconnoc.com

Trelowarren Described as ‘a jewel in the palm of your hand’ (by Daphne Du Maurier, no less!), Trelowarren has a palpable sense of romance. Hugged by ancient woodland in a tucked-away corner of the Lizard peninsula, open parkland, breathtaking views and luxe facilities make a stirring setting for a wedding.

The 14th century Grade I listed manor house – a dramatic building with crenellations and ornate plasterwork – can seat up to 120 guests in its historic Strawberry Hill Gothic chapel. Five-star accommodation comprising 18 houses make this a wedding village of endlessly impressive proportions, with The Walled Garden Spa making the perfect spot for some pre-wedding pampering. trelowarren.com

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 a palpable sense of history and romance. Crowning a scenic headland in Falmouth, Pendennis Castle is considered one of Henry VIII’s finest coastal fortresses. Say “I do” in the Lower Gun Room in the Castle Keep and enjoy fizz served with ocean panoramas from the Chemise. Celebrate in the Royal Artillery Barracks where rooms flooded with natural light meet sea views, or throw a grand-scale marquee wedding in the grounds with the castle as the magnificent backdrop.

Caerhays A castle backdrop hugged by colourful woodland gardens overlooking a secluded beach ticks the box for sheer off-the-scale romance – but that’s only part of Caerhays’ enchanting appeal. You can marry amidst the breathtaking sea views of the Coastguard’s Lookout, perched on a nearby headland, or the tranquil and elegant climes of The Vean, a beautifully restored Georgian country house with views across the wooded Porthluney valley. For an al fresco feel, throw a marquee reception at Beach Meadow or the Castle Field and party into the night with the coast to one side and the castle to the other. Now that’s special! caerhays.co.uk

With a purpose-built marquee in the walled gardens, staffed wedding bar and children’s entertainment all on hand as well as lots of optional add-ons. You and your guests can stay in a yurt, bell tent or shepherd’s hut and wake to a breakfast hamper delivered with an optional Bloody Mary or glass of prosecco alongside a cooked breakfast. weddingsatpencarrow.com

Fal River Cruises Love the water? Then why not throw your wedding on it? Fal River Cruises’ beautiful wooden vessel, Moyana, hosts post-ceremony cruises and receptions, allowing guests to enjoy the festivities while exploring the picture-perfect creeks of the Cornish riverside: it might be a laid-back pasty supper, a champagne and canapés reception, or a starry-eyed cruise complete with live music at nightfall. While legally binding ceremonies must take place on dry land, Moyana is now hosting humanist ceremonies on board for vows immersed in the sea air and natural beauty of this corner of Cornwall.

Trebah This dreamlike Cornish valley is filled with colourful tunnels of exotic blooms leading down to a private sandy beach.

A sublime botanical backdrop for weddings all year round, the magnificent collection of rhododendrons, magnolias and camellias burst with colour in spring; then there’s the giant gunnera of summer, the clouds of hydrangea in autumn and the plants of the southern hemisphere abloom in winter. The house sits above this carnival of colour, offering views across the gardens and the Helford beyond.

Charlestown Harbour Located on the picturesque south coast, this small, privately owned Grade II listed Georgian harbour is one of Cornwall’s most iconic locations and offers romance and character in spine-tingling abundance. Steeped in maritime history and home to a fleet of striking classic tall ships, couples can marry in the intimate climes of The Round House, which can be found at the end of the east side of the harbour, offering sweeping views across St Austell Bay. Built in the late 1800s, the atmospheric space can host ceremonies with up to eight guests in attendance, while larger receptions can take place in the heart of the inner harbour on board the tall ship, Kajsamoor. Create a tailored package to suit your requirements, from a drinks reception on the open deck space to a three-course meal for up to 32 seated guests (or 50 standing) provided by popular local restaurant, The Longstore. charlestownharbour.com

JUST THE TWO OF US

One bride we know – who’d always seen herself in a strapless, tiered gown laughing carelessly in black and white snaps surrounded by friends and family on her big day – stole away to an A-list haunt for a secret ceremony with her other half and two lifelong friends as witnesses. And what happened next? Everyone was delighted. Really delighted.

But how did they plan it and, more crucially, manage the fallout? “We had discussed getting married numerous times during our 11 years together,” she says. “But one particular day, we went for a walk, and we really started to plan. We started with the guest list and, before we’d even got 10 people down the list, we realised that some people couldn’t travel out of term time and some people didn’t get on and some people lived on the other side of the planet… In the end, we asked each other who we needed there; we looked at each other and said ‘I need you’ and that’s when we decided.”

Over the days that followed their ceremony, the happy couple took their celebration home, arriving at both sets of parents’ houses in their city-chic getup, with huge smiles and a ready-made celebration.

Vintage reds were opened, and the party began the minute the penny dropped. Was anyone upset? Not one person. At least, they didn’t show it. How could you fail to get involved when a bride and groom arrive on your doorstep asking you to help them celebrate? Interested? Here’s how you can elope with hope…

PUB LUNCH WITH PUNCH Imagine a Michelin-star pub or restaurant where everything on the menu is yours to order as you wish, without having to consider anyone else’s dietary requirements, likes, or cost. You can go down the traditional wedding breakfast route if you wish, or if you fancy takeaway fish and chips, that’s cool too! One of the beauties of an elopement is that there are (far) fewer people to take into account, so choose your favourites and feel free to indulge!

JUST THE TWO OF US In long-term relationships, where perhaps the spark between you both is now more of a gentle flicker, eloping reignites that wonderful sense of stealing away and doing something that’s solely about just the two of you. In the digital age, when not much is private, imagine just the two of you

Fancy slipping away quietly and doing your day your way? As elopement weddings continue to rise, we look at the tips and tricks to make it really wedding-worthy words Elizabeth Chester

knowing what tomorrow brings. Once you’ve said ‘I do’, just for a few minutes, you, the registrar and your witnesses are the only people in the world who know your news.

SHOW THEM THE MONEY Granted, this one isn’t for the celebration night but, perhaps in time, it might be worth explaining to friends and family – particularly if there were any who may have been disappointed about their lack of invitation – that you have ploughed your

133

feature | ELOPEMENTS | JUST THE TWO OF US

saving into other areas. For example, you could put it towards Enchanted Brides

travelling the world, a house deposit or perhaps start a fund for any future babies you may be planning.

DRESS TO IMPRESS “I went wedding dress shopping in traditional boutiques, which I loved and wouldn’t have missed for the world,” says our bride. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but in the end buying a classic vintage designer dress was just more me,” she says, choosing to elope in a vintage designer shift dress. Many brides choose to elope in a traditional gown, however, and we say go for it. You’re still a bride, after all, so embrace it!

VITAL ACCESSORY Elopement doesn’t have to mean understated and don’t forget your accessories to really make you feel bridal. How about chic touches like a silk bouquet, a birdcage veil or a high-low wedding dress to give the illusion of a small train, if you don’t want the real thing?

PLACE OF INTEREST Enchanted Brides

If it’s just you and your other half on the day, why not go wild with a unique venue that otherwise wouldn’t suit your guest list or budget? We’re thinking summerhouses, treehouses, boats and quirky-cool little spots in the countryside or on the coast. And if you had been considering a destination wedding, but couldn’t make the logistics work, an elopement is a great chance to get married somewhere special closer to home, then splurge on that honeymoon!

SHOUT IT OUT! Don’t focus on what you haven’t done or who you haven’t invited, but instead, put all your efforts into making your announcement as wow, inclusive and celebratory as possible.

Our bride made sure all parents and siblings knew to be nearby the day after – without making it too obvious – and no one suspected anything other than a usual family weekend catch-up. Friends received a just-married photo and a date for celebratory drinks.

PARTY ON! Here’s where you can let rip. Whether you do as our bride Enchanted Brides

did and take the party to your guests’ homes, or organise an after-party once you’ve announced your news, you can go super-large on your celebrations. And one of the best bits, as summed up by our bride? “Yes you can, and should, absolutely wear your dress again!”

KNOW YOUR LIMITS Just remember, like a good comic, you need to know your audience. If your wedding is the day you’ve always dreamed about since you were a little girl and talked about with your mum/gran/auntie/bestie for years, think it through carefully.

Doing your day your way is one thing but offending your closeknit family is quite another.

Eloping isn’t for everyone and there’s no going back once you’ve done ir. But of course there are other ways to celebrate. So, we’ll leave you with this from our recent bride...

“We poured our wedding fund into a Maldives honeymoon.

And sipping champagne on the steps of our private overwater bungalow, watching the colourful sea life somersault in the gin-clear sea that surrounded us, made us realise at the heart of our decision was each other. And our friends and family couldn’t have been happier for us.”

OUR SMALL BIG DAY Naomi and Jack travelled to Cornwall for their incredibly romantic elopement at The Green. Here, Naomi shares her reflections on their just-for-two wedding day

Why did you choose to elope?

“When we began planning our wedding, we were conflicted. We wanted a small intimate wedding where we could really enjoy each other’s company and express our love for one another. Yet there were so many people who had been supportive of our relationship and our marriage that we felt we needed to properly celebrate with them all. We began by trying to plan this impossible wedding: big but intimate,

religious but not in a church. It took us a lost deposit or two, but we realised that this compromised wedding wasn’t going to work for us. The solution? Two weddings, of course!

So halfway through planning our wedding (we will call this the big wedding), we decided we would elope and legally get married in an intimate ceremony. Just the two of us, without any fuss. We must admit this decision was easier because a few weeks later we would celebrate with all our friends and family at a marriage blessing and reception.

Having now had both an elopement and the frills that come a with a big family-fest of a wedding, let’s just say we wouldn’t be in a rush to ditch the elopement over a big wedding.

Our relationship stayed at the core of our elopement; it was the most perfect day (I know everyone says that about their wedding but, honestly, it was magical) and most importantly stress-free and cheaper!”

What was it about getting married at The Green that appealed to you?

Photography Thomas Frost

“We were set on an outdoor wedding and you can elope and still legally marry outside at The Green. The weather, however, had other plans for us, meaning we were unable to get married outside. The staff managed to convert the barn, a location we were not initially particularly keen on getting married in, into a fairytale dream; it was so enchanting, better than we could have imagined (better than getting married outdoors!).

The simplicity, the lovely staff and the attention to detail were unimaginable bonuses. The Green took care of everything! From décor and fine dining to accommodation on-site, we were truly spoilt for two nights”.

How did the day pan out?

“Having already walked through a plan of the day the night before, we knew exactly what to expect, which eased our nerves a lot.

Jack and I woke up together and he made breakfast, which we could barely eat due to our excitement. We had planned to get ready in separate rooms but decided to delay our plans until we put on the outfits that we had chosen together. Our amazing photographer Tom Frost was ready to capture all the beautiful moments as we got ready, including Jack making me a last-minute flower crown!

Jack walked over to the barn and spoke to the registrars and then they came over to the cottage to speak to me. Finally, it was time to go; the lovely staff helped me put the finishing touches on my dress and even helped me put my shoes on. This is something I hadn’t thought about; in that moment it would have been nice to have my mother there.

Despite knowing what we were both going to wear, Jack had tears in his eyes when he saw me walk down the aisle. We then said our ‘I dos’ and I became a woman with a triple-barrelled surname!

After our ceremony and the exchange of our emotional vows we each had written, we spent the whole day exploring the gorgeous Cornish countryside having our own personal photo shoot. Tom captured our love so wonderfully. From abandoned quarries to moors and coastal cliffs, we did it all – and the results were worth it! We then came back to our little wedding home and patiently awaited our own private chef who made the most exquisite food ever!”

Does one particular moment stand out to you?

“Getting ready in the morning and asking Jack if my eyeshadow was OK. We thought we were going to spend the morning apart, but we were both so nervous and simultaneously excited, it felt so right in my most vulnerable state to be with my best friend and ask him if the make-up I was going to have on as I said ‘I do’ was perfect to him”.

What advice would you give to other couples considering an elopement?

“Do it and don’t look back. Be honest with your friends and family; they may not like it but they love you and will eventually come around.”

Beautiful love stories from across Cornwall

PERFECT DAY

Guests from all over the world came together on the banks of the Tamar for Natalie and Pierre’s sun-spilled celebrations Natalie and Pierre’s paths first crossed in Dubai. “I was involved in a beach volleyball team and one of my teammates worked with Pierre. He convinced Pierre to come and play in our team, as we were short on players; he turned out to be a good asset, being 6ft 3!” reminisces Natalie. “That’s where it all began.”

The globe-trotting pair became engaged in Petra while walking through the historical city’s famous archaeological site. “The sun was shining, the views were fantastic and there were very few people around,” recalls Natalie.

Choosing Pentillie Castle as the venue for their travel-inspired wedding, the couple took the bridesmaids’ blush dresses as inspiration for the colour scheme, which was carried in an array of details including a gorgeous floral archway and bespoke cake.

“We named the tables after the favourite places we had visited and the table plan was a map of the world with luggage tags for each table,” says Natalie. Retro suitcases were filled with favours of local Cornish fudge and used as card drops alongside a globe for guests to sign instead of a traditional book.

Hiring Pentillie for three nights allowed Natalie and Pierre plenty of time to host some pre-wedding parties, which included a lavish five-course rehearsal dinner there for close friends and family two days prior to the wedding and a larger gathering at St Mellion International Resort the night before.

Classical Strings provided a stirring soundtrack to the ceremony and drinks reception, which took place on the lawn overlooking the stunning rural surrounds and river, after which the speeches were delivered ahead of the sumptuous threecourse wedding breakfast.

Guests chose from starters of smoked salmon, goat’s cheese tart or pork terrine followed by mains of lemon sole with chorizo, Pentillie roast beef or Parmesan risotto with truffle. Apple tarte tatin with caramel ice cream, chocolate brownie, and glazed lemon tart completed the fabulous feast.

“We had been going to dance lessons for nine months before the wedding,” reveals Natalie. “We started the first dance with ‘Stand by Me’. The music stopped and everyone thought the DJ had messed up, but it was always our plan! We then had a medley of about eight songs – from the tango and ‘Gangnam Style’ to hip-hop and jive! It really was fun and everyone was so surprised!”

While in the throes of recalling her favourite moments, she says: “To be honest, we loved every minute of the day and leading up to it! I know it sounds cheesy, but it couldn’t have been more perfect. We had people from about 12 different countries at the wedding, so it was very international! Lots of love, fun and laughter was had,” she reminisces.

“Don’t stress or turn into Bridezilla!” she warns other brides-to-be who might be feeling the pressure to plan the perfect day. “The small things really do not matter!

If your favours do not turn up, or you couldn’t get your perfect napkins – no one really cares! As long as your guests are well fed, the bar is stocked and you have good music to dance the night away, that’s all they will remember (and so will you).

The day goes by so fast, live and love every second of it and do what you want,” she continues. “It’s a day you should enjoy along with all your family and friends.”

As her final word of advice, she says: “I would highly recommend booking a place exclusively if you can and having it for multiple nights. Your memories will be worth the extra money spent!”

FROM NOW ON

Memorable musical performances gave Sinead and Charlie’s colourful celebrations extra meaning at their October wedding “We met on a dating website in 2013 and it turned out that we only lived a 10-minute walk from each other, which in London was quite a surprise!” reveals Sinead. Some years after their serendipitous online encounter, Charlie selected a scenic spot to pop the question during a holiday to Italy’s Lake Maggiore.

“I was pregnant at the time and as I said yes the baby did a big kick!” recalls Sinead. “He’d had the ring for a couple of years and had planned to propose on a previous holiday to Norway but forgot to pack the ring!”

The pair had visited Potager Garden during every trip to see Charlie’s parents in Cornwall – and it provided the perfect venue for their wedding. “And it seemed suitably ‘non wedding-y’, which was what we were after,” comments Sinead.

Selecting a relaxed DIY theme with lots of colour, the event was a collaborative and hands-on affair. “Most of the things we had, we found or made ourselves, with the help of my sister Annalysa who is the queen of organising!” says Sinead.

Charlie’s dad sourced the potted plants for the tables with Annalysa cultivating the aloe vera, while Charlie designed the invitations and wedding booklets complete with song lyrics.

Their mid-afternoon ceremony took place in the greenhouse with Charlie’s best friend Ben presiding as celebrant as the couple exchanged their self-penned vows. “My sister read a poem she had written for us and Charlie’s friend Bethan did a reading of ‘I Wanna Be Yours’ by John Cooper Clarke,” says Sinead.

Music was a key component, with Charlie teaming up with his brother Will on acoustic guitar for an unforgettable performance. “Charlie and the rest of our guests sang me down the aisle with ‘Into My Arms’

by Nick Cave, then we all sang ‘From Now On’ from ‘The Greatest Showman’ and ‘Three Little Birds’ by Bob Marley – it was excellent!” recalls Sinead.

Selecting a sharing feast of pizza, wintry salads and self-serve vegan dishes, the wedding breakfast was rounded off with Charlie’s homemade vegan chocolate and avocado cake decorated with raspberries, which was all devoured in the greenhouse as the sun went down.

An evening of pasties and dancing to the couple’s personalised Spotify playlist completed their wonder-filled day, which was made all the more special by a surprise guest appearance.

“One standout moment for me was when a strange but exceptionally beautiful cat turned up and joined in with our party. We are cat people so it was perfect!” says Sinead, recallig another favourite moment as “the singing in the ceremony and how all our friends nailed it!”.

“Our top tip would be to do it your way!” she asserts. “People will have fun regardless so make all your choices for you and not your guests or family. It took away most of the stress for us and made the whole experience really personal and enjoyable.”

COLOURS OF LOVE

Chloe and Ben treated their guests to a weekend full of food, fun and fabulous flowers on the farm during their wedding overlooking the Camel Estuary Chloe and Ben knew each other from secondary school, but it wasn’t until they chanced upon each other years later at a mutual friend’s party that they noticed a spark.

“We spent the evening flirting with each other,” reveals Chloe. “This was the start of good things to come. From there, we started meeting up regularly in London and our relationship blossomed quickly.”

Having expected him to pop the question during their six-month motorhome trip around southern Europe, Chloe’s expectations of a proposal had dwindled on their return when Ben decided to pick his moment during a walk in the park.

“It was a beautiful day and in a very rare moment there was absolutely no one in the park. We were strolling around and then Ben said, ‘You know I love you, right?’ I turned around and he was on one knee with a ring. I couldn’t have been more shocked!” says Chloe.

With family ties to the county, Chloe and Ben decided that Cornwall was the perfect place to hold their wedding, and, falling in love with Padstow, they decided to marry at St Petroc’s Church before a marquee reception at Trerethern Farm.

“We wanted our wedding to be super relaxed and for each guest to feel really special; we knew if they loved it then we would have an amazing day too. We put most of our budget into the food and drink to ensure guests were looked after!” explains Chloe, who selected a theme of ‘colour’ to style their day.

A striking palette of yellow, dark pink, red and teal blue were carried throughout, from the bridesmaids’ dresses to the flowers. “We had a marquee in the middle of a field with incredible scenery surrounding us; we wanted pops of colour everywhere and for the outside to be inside,” says Chloe, who worked with wedding planner Rebecca at The Unique Cornish Event Company to achieve her vision.

Flowers were another key element of the day’s design, with Cat from Tide Flowers interpreting the ‘luxe festival vibes’ brief to show-stopping effect.

Chloe’s beautiful bouquet featured tulips and peonies mixed with greenery and ferns, while an incredible hanging flower display was suspended from a ladder over the top table.

Canapés including oysters and a whole leg of Iberico ham were followed by a feast of mackerel, rib of beef with dauphinoise potatoes, and white chocolate mousse. The eye-catching floral-themed cake, comprising three tiers of carrot, caramel and lemon flavours, went down a treat, as did the evening’s infectious soundtrack from Disco Shed and the fun photos, props and backdrops provided

The following day, guests returned to the farm for games, food and more drinks, including bespoke Bloody Marys served by airstream bar, The Buffalo. “We hosted the Cornwall Olympics and had games such as the surf machine, hook a duck and a pasty-eating competition!” says Chloe.

“Start early, make a plan, and do things little by little,” she says by word of planning advice. “Split the responsibilities and share the planning – it makes it fun and it’s a day for both of you,” she encourages couples. “For example, Ben took control of organising the food and drink, and I did décor and flowers, but we both made the decisions together.”

COASTAL COOL

Sarah and Dale hosted a laid-back beach party at Lusty Glaze full of good food, games on the golden sand and a very special surprise from a bridesmaid “We met in December 2012 as we both were walking out of Bangkok airport to begin separate adventures,” says Sarah of how she and Dale first crossed paths.

Friends from each group they were travelling with recognised each other and introduced the couple, who then spent a few weeks together in Thailand before Sarah’s holiday came to an end. “Three months later, I got a call from Dale out of the blue saying that he’s back in the UK and wants to take me on a date. I took him up on his romantic offer of peri-peri chicken and we’ve been together ever since!”

Travel was a key component of the pair’s romance: during a two-week road trip in California, Dale popped the question while they were camping in the middle of Sequoia National Park. “We had just cooked some dinner on the barbecue and opened a couple of beers around the fire. He then made a beautiful speech and got down on one knee to present the most perfect engagement ring.”

With a sense of place being such an important part of their love story, Sarah and Dale picked Lusty Glaze as the venue to marry. “As soon as we arrived, we knew it was the one for us,” explains Sarah. “We absolutely love Cornwall and being by the sea, so it seemed the perfect package.”

Basing the look and feel of their sand-between-the-toes celebrations on a “very relaxed, personal and fun” vibe, Sarah took the seaside setting as inspiration for the palette, “but also added splashes of bright and bold shades, which represent our personalities quite well,” she says.

From her embellished boho style gown to Dale’s dapper blue suit, the bright and beautiful wild flowers to the stationery (all individually made by graphic designer Sarah), every element combined to create the laid-back, coastally cool aesthetic. “The beautiful beach backdrop meant the venue really didn’t need much decoration, so we had clusters of medicine bottles on the tables and three large wild hoops hanging from the ceiling to tie it all in,” says Sarah.

Acoustic music, beach volleyball, drinks and canapés greeted guests before they tucked in to a buffet-style barbecue with a huge array of dishes including steaks, halloumi, salads and pasta.

“For our first dance, the band played the most beautiful version of ‘My Girl’ and then they went on to play an awesome couple of sets to get the crowd on their feet and dancing the evening away. We had a DJ takeover for the rest of the night and it turned into a full-on party that we will never forget!” recalls Sarah of the evening revelry.

“The whole day was a complete dream but I think our favourite part was when the wedding party was told to go out onto the beach and then all of a sudden a plane went across the sky with a ‘Sarah & Dale’ banner! It was a complete surprise from one of my bridesmaids and was one of the best presents we could have asked for. The plane circled the sky a few times and everyone was just so amazed. Definitely something we will never forget!”

Though she wouldn’t change a thing, Sarah shares one piece of planning advice with others. “As our wedding had so many personal touches, it was hard to delegate jobs to others and we did a lot ourselves, so I would say if you have anything you can give to others, definitely do it, as you’ll be surprised how many people want to help.”

GREEN DAY

Leona and Chester designed a distinctive day full of greenery, good food and sustainable choices for a wedding as purse-pleasing as it was planet-friendly “We met in a bar in Falmouth during my third week of university,” reveals Leona of her and Chester’s first encounter. “I had just broken up with my college boyfriend and vowed to have fun and be single for the next three years... oops!”

On their seventh anniversary, Chester made a romantic pre-proposal. “He told me that he’d pop the question before our eighth anniversary,” says Leona. “He left it another 363 days, so I saw it coming. I got so twitchy that he ended up letting me come with him to design my ring. Chester got down on one knee at the end of a jetty at a lake and we did a lot of ugly crying!”

The couple decided on a simple yet striking aesthetic for their wedding: “greenery, no flowers, lots of herbs.”

“We wanted to go low-cost without being kitsch and our photos were Wes Anderson-inspired,” explains Leona. “Because we wanted to do it relatively lowbudget (we’ve just bought a listed house that needs a lot of work), we made a list of things we needed and things we wanted and then pared the ‘need’ list back even more. We spent the big bucks on a few things that were really important to us: greenery, my dress and photography.”

As well as adopting a green colour scheme, the couple approached their wedding with a green ethos, minimising their carbon footprint during the sourcing process.

“We wanted to use as many small, local suppliers as we could, because we really believe it’s important to support independents and put money into our local economy,” elaborates Leona.

Her gown was handcrafted using a piece of 1930’s silk velvet that was hand-dyed using tea leaves “to give it the most amazing oyster colour. It was important to me to have a two-piece so that I could wear each piece independently again,” says Leona.

The floristry was another sustainable element, with larger displays featuring potted plants that Leona and Chester were able to keep, and scented greenery transformed into shower bouquets. “The garlands now adorn our fireplace and we have used cuttings from the bay and eucalyptus to propagate new plants,” she says.

Leona and Chester exchanged vows at Penryn Town Hall, as Storm Dennis raged outside. After pasties and champagne, everyone gathered at Ponsanooth Hall for welcome drinks, speeches and a lip-smacking dinner comprising the likes of spicy crab tacos, smoked pulled pork, and mushroom, halloumi and truffle mac and cheese.

Decorated with herbs, the cake provided the show-stopping endnote with its spiced plum and cardamom, winter carrot cake, and lemon and elderflower flavours.

“We had decided not to have a first dance; it’s just not our thing. But when we were dancing to ‘Temperature’ by Sean Paul, my Best Woman cleared the dance floor and inconspicuously gave everyone confetti to throw. It was the best impromptu and most ‘us’ first dance we could have had!” says Leona of one of her favourite moments.

“Having all of our most loved people in one place at one time and getting to share a snippet of our Cornish life with them all,” she cites as another, before adding “and dancing around to Green Day with my dad!”.

“Make clear decisions about what is really important to you and stick to those choices,” she advises other couples. “And build a wedding website with all the information your guests will need, so you don’t have to field questions.”

STRIKING GOLD

Seasonal flowers and handmade décor set the glorious scene for Olympians Rachel and Jonnie’s nature-inspired wedding at Trevenna “For more than a decade we were both on the British Sprint Kayaking Team, competing at two Olympic games together, and we met on our first training camp in Seville in Spain,” reveals Rachel of her and Jonnie’s momentous beginnings.

“Jonnie proposed to me outside a composting toilet!” she laughs. “We were staying in a gorgeous luxury cave on the North Island of New Zealand after the Rio Olympics. It was filled with romantic spots to propose, but Jonnie got a little carried away by trying to make the proposal a surprise and whipped the ring out just as I left the (very nice) toilet. I now have a soft spot for composting toilets!”

Trevenna provided the picturesque setting for their late September wedding, which was “inspired by nature: kind of rustic, but filled with warmth and hygge”, explains Rachel. A carnival of seasonal flowers reflected the turning of the season, with foliage in soft coppers and burnt tones, and dahlias in muted hues interspersed with pops of coral.

“We met with lots of our guests on the day before our wedding for a surf on Polzeath Beach. It was so much fun and a great way to bring people together! We left them to explore the area whilst we had hurried away to start setting up at the venue,” says Rachel, who enlisted the help of some guests to erect the archway, hang hand-dyed ribbons, and decorate the tables with homemade table runners, napkins, dried flowers and origami hearts made from ‘Harry Potter’ pages. “Our mums had been busy DIYing!” explains Rachel. “We brought down some potted trees and plants to add to the scale of the greenery – the tree is now planted in my parents’ garden and is a lovely souvenir!”

Marrying at midday to make the most of their time with loved ones, Rachel cites the al fresco ceremony as her favourite part of the entire day. “Standing under the arbour holding Jonnie’s hands was such a magical moment,” she reminisces. “The birds were singing, the sun had just come out and was shining down through the leaves. We were not only surrounded by beautiful flowers, but also by all of ‘our people’.

I could feel the love in the air!”

One of Rachel’s bridesmaids, Hattie, sang during the ceremony. A string quartet added to the atmosphere and continued to entertain guests during the drinks reception in the Threshing Barn, “where we filled the room, sat at long trestle tables and had a very jolly time! My dad had written some music and a song for his speech, which Hattie performed,” says Rachel.

Treacle-cured beef, sea bass and trio of tasty desserts were devoured before the newly-weds headed off to the moor for photographs. The uptempo tunes of The Harbour Band then provided the entertainment for the evening, alongside sparklers, roasting marshmallows over the open fire, Cornish pasties, “and a lot of cheese!”

“In my opinion, a successful wedding is a day that reflects the people getting married,” says Rachel. “It’s quite hard to go wrong if you take this tact, because everyone has different likes and dislikes and makes different decisions. So enjoy the process; it’s not every day you get to celebrate such a special thing!”

Wise words. Ask some of your married

traditional aisle and row formation, seat them around you in a circle. It gives a more intimate feel, ensures no one will struggle to see the ceremony and means you’re surrounded by

friends who are musicians or actors, ask them to get involved by performing a song or reading an extract. Jessica

Petal pretty. Choose dried rose petals for

beautiful and biodegradable confetti, or dried olive leaves for a stylish alternative. Jessica

Flower power. Create a living aisle with

your florist, making it look like the flowers are growing either side of it. It will frame you beautifully as you walk down and smells divine too. It’s also safer than candles! Jenny

Make some noise. If you want to exit

the ceremony with a bang, then customised tambourines for your guests are a must!

At previous weddings, especially at historic venues, we’ve handed out little flags with bells that guests can wave as the couple exit the ceremony. Jessica

Raise the roof. Gospel choirs are a great

way of adding atmosphere to your ceremony, bringing the fun factor as all your guests sing along. Jenny

Stand up. Do away with chairs altogether

and have people stand together – this works really well in historic houses where ceremonies can take place at the footwell of a grand staircase with your guests looking on from the galleried landing. Jessica

Walk the line. Have an aisle runner with

your chosen wording on, perhaps which tells the story of how you met, or important dates.

Rugs can also be effective for creating an aisle walkway. Jenny Jessica, Ardour & Bow Weddings & Events
