WELCOME

Welcome to the latest issue of Wed Magazine! We’re so happy to be able to present this fix of sweet wedding escapism as the world still reels from the Covid-19 pandemic. There’s still so much uncertainty in the wedding industry, leaving couples, venues and suppliers in a disconcerting place. But we hope, within these pages, that we can turn your thoughts to the future – to the love that you’ve found, to the joyful celebrations that lie ahead, and to the togetherness that now seems more precious than ever. It really lifted our spirits to see the first vows being exchanged after lockdown, and, then later in August, the first wedding receptions for 30 taking place. It was heartening to see vows being exchanged again, lips and lives being locked before the Cornish landscape, and the wedding industry back doing what it does best. In our feature ‘Love Wins!’, three couples share their stories of post-lockdown weddings, and we also hear about an incredibly romantic engagement on Watergate Bay. It’s undeniable that the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the wedding landscape, and we look at how weddings may look in the future in ‘A New Dawn’. What’s more, if you’re considering a micro wedding, then turn to our feature ‘Small is Beautiful’. As well as top tips from the experts, we hear from a couple who chose a small-scale celebration. Nothing stokes up a sense of wedding planning excitement quite like the search for your wedding dress. In our bridal fashion story ‘Making Waves’ we showcase dreamy modern bridal gowns along the rugged cliffscape of Porthleven (it was wonderful to be out on location again surrounded by beautiful dresses and Cornwall’s awe-inspiring landscape!). More joy-filling content comes in the form of vibrant, travel-inspired wedding inspiration in ‘Spirited Away’, while ‘Winter Wonder’ paints an enchanting and oh-so

love is all you need

romantic scene for a winter wedding. There’s also captivating flower installations, plantbased menu inspiration, rum cocktails for your drinks reception, and send-off ideas for an unforgettable exit as well as real wedding stories from across the length and breadth of this beautiful county. I hope you enjoy this issue, and it leaves you with flutters of excitement about the brighter days - and love-filled celebrations to come! Rebecca

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been heartache in recent months, but there have also been uplifting moments, from starry-eyed proposals to the first vows after lockdown. Here, four couples share their stories of the heart

LOVE WINS!

Suzanne Johnson

“I don’t think either of us have felt so loved and valued.”

“Joe and I have been together for four years and got engaged in July 2018,” says Leanne. “We always knew where we wanted to get married. Not only did Joe propose on the rocks not too far from Beacon Crag in Porthleven, but he dropped the hint there years before. One New Year’s Eve, a few months after we’d got together, we took a walk on the cliff path. Looking over towards Beacon Crag, he gave me a hug and told me he would marry me one day. Turns out he was right! We wanted a DIY garden party with a clifftop marquee overlooking the sea. Originally, we had planned something smaller with a provisional guest list of 4050 people. As often happens, the guest list nearly doubled in a short time! The pandemic actually gave us a chance to scale things back to what we’d originally planned. There were some trade-offs though. There were friends that it would have meant the world to have there who couldn’t make it. One of my bridesmaids lives in Australia so she couldn’t come. We had a life-size cardboard cut-out of her, and she Skyped in for the ceremony, so it did feel like she could be there in some way. Then there were older family members who didn’t feel safe. People were dropping out right up until the days before the wedding. We had spent over a year handmaking the decorations, so we decided even if we didn’t need them, they were still getting used! We decorated the marquee as if the original plans were going ahead so at least we had the photos. It looked amazing and we were so happy with it even though the circumstances were so wildly different.

Planning a wedding during lockdown was stressful but both of us balanced each other out, the other always coming to the rescue with humour. We like to joke that it was a baptism of fire and if we can handle the weekly ‘will it go ahead? Will it not?’ uncertainty, the fall-out of guests dropping out, the mad scramble to cancel vendors, and the general emotional rollercoaster of it all without exchanging a harsh word then we don’t have an excuse to fall out about anything. If anything, the ‘Covid vs. us’ mindset brought us even closer together and proved that we have in each other an incredible support system. The wedding day itself was perfect. We were blessed with great weather, a relaxed atmosphere and good spirited guests. Everyone was outside for the ceremony, which ended up being great due to the weather. Post-ceremony we had a small celebration with our nearest and dearest. A walk along the coastal path for photos gave us some time as a newly-wed couple to acclimatise to the fact that it was finally happening, the wedding had gone ahead despite all the ups and downs, and we could focus on all the positives rather than what we had theoretically lost by going ahead with the day under restrictions. Although the day was drastically different to what we had originally planned, it was still perfect. There were so few people there that the time spent with them felt so intimate. The thing about the Covid situation is that we knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that everyone there on the day was there because they wouldn’t miss it for the world. There were no worries about obligation invites or awkward plus-ones. Instead, we had a wonderful support bubble comprised of people who were willing to brave this strange and scary world just to be there to celebrate with us on our day. It was small and it was quiet, but I don’t think either of us have felt so loved and valued.”

“We just wanted to get married, even if it meant not having the party.”

Nick Bailey

“Carwyn and I met in summer 2011 and got engaged in November 2018, whilst on holiday in Chile,” says Sarah. “We had always planned a small wedding – we had invited 16 of our closest friends and family to spend a long weekend with us at The Vean on the Caerhays Estate. We’d planned a kayaking trip on the Friday and the wedding on the Saturday with the ceremony in the Coastguards Lookout. When the pandemic first hit, we assumed our original wedding wouldn’t be affected as it was fairly small and planned for June. As time passed, we were initially worried that guests travelling from other countries might not be able to make it, and then it became more obvious that the whole wedding wouldn’t be able to go ahead, so we had to decide when to postpone until and what to do. After discussing it for a while, it became clearer to us that we just really wanted to get married, even if it meant not having the party! You can put so much time and stress into planning the wedding of your dreams, but this help put that into perspective. We knew we couldn’t go ahead with the full plan – the Coastguards Lookout was too small for social distancing with all our guests, plus we wouldn’t all be able to stay together in one house – but we decided to book the Lookout and registrar for July. We crossed our fingers that we would be able to get married, and that our parents would be allowed to be there with us. It definitely meant that we couldn’t get too excited beforehand, as we were always slightly on edge that something would go wrong – and we were careful to keep ourselves isolated for two weeks before to minimise our chances of having to quarantine. We had a lovely wedding day. We just had our parents as guests, so the ceremony was really intimate, and we were able to spend a lot of quality time with each other and our parents. After the ceremony we had champagne, cake and scones on the cliff, then we had fun with our photographer Nick on the beach. For the evening we had a barbecue – all very relaxed, which suited us just fine! Obviously, we were sad that our close friends weren’t there, and also our brothers – but they were able to be part of the ceremony via Zoom, which was great. The day was over really quickly, which I think is true of all weddings! So it was really nice at the end of the day to think ‘we get to do this all again next year!’ as we are planning on coming back to Caerhays and having the original wedding weekend we had planned – it’s the perfect excuse to wear my wedding dress for a second time!”

LOVE WINS! Tracey Warbey

“It was, by far, the greatest night of my life.” “Tam was working at the gym that I went to,” Tom recalls locking eyes on Tam for the first time. “I would find ways of chatting to her. Giving her a cheeky smile. Asking for a guest pass. Any excuse! She batted me off for a while, but my persistence paid off, as she ended up asking me out on a first date. We’ve been inseparable ever since. We started trying on engagement rings about a year ago as I knew it would be difficult finding a ring that was ‘her’. Every time we’d go on holiday, all of her friends would be convinced it would be ‘the’ time. I’d known that I wanted to marry her for quite some time, it was just about finding the right moment. I’d actually planned on proposing in Thailand at the start of 2020, however we had to cancel due to Covid-19. We then booked Mauritius, and Covid foiled our plans again. After months of thinking what to do and where to do it, it clicked: Cornwall. We had our first ever holiday in Cornwall and it was just perfect; we’ve always said we’ll live there one day too. I started looking online and saw a video of a beach proposal at sunset, it just looked magical. I found Rebecca from Rebel + Anchor and we put it into motion. She was amazing! She took my idea and blew it out of the water, the set-up was faultless.

“I’d waited nine years to marry him and I refused to wait another year!” “We’ve been together for nine years and Robert finally proposed in February 2019,” says Natasha. “I always said that I wanted to get married in Cornwall, as it’s what I call my ‘happy place’, so we booked a wedding at Lower Barns for 21 people over three days. When the country went into lockdown, we weren’t too worried about the wedding at first, as it felt such a long time away. But, as time went on, we did start to worry. Robert wanted to reschedule it, but I’d waited nine years to marry him and I refused to wait another year! Obviously, if the government wouldn’t allow it, there would be nothing we could do – but if lockdown was eased, I wanted the wedding to happen, so Robert reluctantly agreed! Once we heard the news that weddings could go ahead from 4th July, we were so happy but also apprehensive concerning what the wedding would

On the day, Tam and I spent the afternoon walking through waterfalls with our puppy. We went out for some food and made our way to Watergate Bay to watch the sunset. I actually don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous. We had this whole stretch of beautiful beach to sit on and there I was marching down it at 100mph. It was then we saw the most incredible set-up, I think we both burst into tears and I just about mumbled ‘Will you marry me?’. The rest of the evening was spent drinking Cornish fizz, listening to the amazing James Dixon, having our photos taken and enjoying the beautiful sunset. It was, by far, the greatest night of my life. Although lockdown and coronavirus has been dreadful, this whole situation has taught us to slow down and appreciate the little things in life. It has definitely made marriage a greater priority for us. We want to share it all with the most important people around us and take no time for granted with them. Coronavirus cast a big ‘what if?’ over our lives for so many months – we know what we want, so why wait?” coordination & styling Rebel + Anchor rebelandanchor.co.uk

be like with the restrictions in place. Having to reduce the number of guests was the hardest part, as it meant our best friends and partners couldn’t be there. We also thought it would be strange not having music or a wedding reception. So we had to look at how to rearrange our plans to make a good time possible in line with government guidance. Although it poured with rain on the wedding morning, the sun soon came out and it was lovely and warm all day. We got married in the beautiful garden ceremony area, played garden games, and enjoyed a barbecue and amazing desserts. The adults relaxed in the sun, while the children played. It was like a big family get-together in a beautiful place. 2020 has been such a worrying time for everyone and the wedding brought the family together to celebrate a ‘normal activity’ in the strangest of times. Everyone was happy to be away from home and enjoyed everything more than they probably would have. Every supplier was so amazing and helpful in making our day as normal and safe as they could for us. We feel very lucky to have had such a lovely wedding. If anything, being made to strip all the frills and fuss down to the basics, with limited guests, made no difference. What’s important is that we started our marriage happy, having fun and with our family.”

EDGE OF PARADISE Thomas Frost

Any time of year, any time of day, come rain or shine – one venue we absolutely love shooting at is Beacon Crag, the location of this issue’s bridal fashion story ‘Making Waves’ on page 22. Situated on the clifftop a stone’s throw from Porthleven on Cornwall’s rugged south coast, its unrivalled position affords jaw-dropping views. Built in 1887 for a local artist, the house is flanked by five acres of private clifftop grounds with a marquee lawn and its own path to the sea and rocky cove below. It’s an extraordinary setting on a sun-drenched summer’s day through to a wave-lashed winter’s night, where a multitude of candles flickering at the windows add to the drama of the setting. The luxuriously decorated bedrooms come with coastal views, king-sized beds and en suite facilities. The latest addition – a one-bedroom private apartment – is a newly-weds’ dream; the reverse-level, selfcontained accommodation comes complete with private access, a private decking area, open-plan kitchen and dining living area – and, of course, incredible sea views! A wildly romantic setting for an intimate wedding, the new elopement package includes use of the hot tub, another tantalising new feature which offers ocean panoramas alongside bubbling warm waters. Imagine toasting your marriage beneath starlit skies in this captivating corner of the Cornish coast. Dreamy. beaconcrag.com

Just one of their giant tipis measures 10 metres in diameter, usually holding 50-60 people seated. It can comfortably hold 30 people factoring in social distancing, still providing a venue with the wow factor without lots of unwanted extra space. What’s more, all sides of the tipi can be lifted, guaranteeing plenty of fresh air but also providing relaxed entry and exit points. The tipis can be put up almost anywhere but if your garden isn’t quite big enough then Sunset Tipis can help with location options all over Devon and Cornwall.

GOLDEN AGE

Drawing on her background in London’s haute couture houses, Christine Trewinnard crafts the most breathtaking gowns from her studio in Cornwall. And, in this hauntingly beautiful styled shoot, her flair for mixing classical and vintage design, as well as her painstaking attention to detail, shines through the atmospheric setting of a once-grand country house. “The shoot was inspired by an iconic era, where evening gowns were unabashedly glamorous and one was almost expected to appear in the genre of a film noir,” explains Christine. “The juxtaposition of Hollywood’s golden age merging with a tumbled-down atmospheric estate is nostalgically exciting; with its peeling wallpaper, breakaway ivy and dusty books, Poltimore House was the perfect backdrop.” Although markedly distinct in style, each striking silhouette exudes a timeless beauty, making for a truly unforgettable bridal look. There’s the clean, modern edge of the sheer organza blouse with satin collars and cuffs, paired with a sophisticated satin skirt complete with hidden side pockets. Continuing on the separates theme, a silky soft relaxed top looks stunning with the lightly sequinned feather design of the skirt. Then there’s the organza dress, which, adorned with floral embroidery and kimonostyle sleeves edged with a vintage marabou trim, exudes a starlet-esque style. And the halterneck gown shimmers with a sea of sparkly white sequins, a veil of fine tulle falling from the shoulders in a heavenly full bridal train. The tablescape sees abandoned furniture styled with crushed velvet, gold cutlery and bespoke glassware to echo the lavish parties the house once held. The cake, with its edible colour dusts of greys, steels and soft milky peaches, and torn wafer paper mirroring the ageing walls, slips perfectly into the tumbled-down grandeur. The trailing soft foliage and muted hues of the English garden flowers enhance the ethereal beauty of the scene, while the gold, pearl and diamanté accents of the stationery whisper of the iconic age of Hollywood glamour.

SOMETHING NEW

Though the runways may have been conducted behind closed doors and viewed as virtual events, the industry remains as creative as ever, ensuring that brides are treated to the latest to-die-for looks.

Suzanne Neville, St Ives Bridal Boutique

Bridal fashion has not been left behind by lockdown.

Versatility and individuality are the core components of the latest collections. Whether you’re waiting for the biggest of W-days with bated breath, planning an elopement or micro celebration, staging a sequel wedding (small ceremony now, big party later) or have only recently become engaged and are familiarising yourself with the newest fashions, amongst the emerging variety of trends you’re guaranteed to find something that’s both ‘you’ and in vogue. Here’s our top five trends for the modern bride.

DAZZLING DETAILING Spotlight-stealing looks are another lust-have, with a sense of the theatrical made material by eye-catching and attention-grabbing designs. Think colour (especially blue, grey, blush and pastel tones) and elaborate embellishment including pearls, crystals, and intricate embroidery, with sparkle and metallics making a dazzling comeback. Showstopping styles are also incorporating a new take on glamour, particularly 1920s’ inspired glittering beadwork, chiffon streamers and mirror effect adornments. Then there’s bows, whether oversized and belted, loose fitting and flowing off-the-shoulder, one of the latest additions: back bows or – better yet – bow spines, which provide the perfect way to update or customise any ensemble.

style | DRESSES BRIDAL FASHION | SOMETHING | INTO THE NEWBLUE Rebecca Ingram, Bliss Bridal Gowns

ALL ABOUT LACE Being such a bridal mainstay, it seems implausible that there could be anything new with lace, but upcoming collections present a revamped version of the ohso romantic fabric that reset the swoon factor to an all-time high. The latest dynamic way to wear lace isn’t simply how it looks, but centres on the feel and movement. Floral lace is a more textured affair, with laser-cut designs combining with soft 3D florals cascading down skirts in whimsical vines, while geometric lace, eyelet patterns and Chantilly lace with a scalloped trim all ensure a cuttingedge aesthetic for everyone from boho brides to new romantics.

THE FAIRYTALE FACTOR Sweeping, big-skirted gowns continue to appear in designer collections, with volume maintaining its position on the most-wanted list. But rather than swamping brides, light-as-air fabrics such as tulle create fresh, swirl-ready confections that are as flattering and fashion-forward as they are easy to wear. Ballgowns are one of the hottest silhouettes within the fairytale trend, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an array of options for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bride, from frothy frocks replete with ruffles to bohemian-inspired tiered skirts paired with a beautifully fitted bodice or silk camisole (with or without ornamentation for extra fairytale impact).

STYLISH SLEEVES

Emmy Mae, St Ives Bridal Boutique

It’s not a seismic shift, but there’s a definite move away from subtler styles in favour of statement sleeves. However, we’re not talking 1980s’ style puffball designs à la Princess Diana: it’s more of a timeless take on voluminous trends to consciously prevent brides from cringing at their choices in years to come. Instead, picture bell and floaty styles that complement a range of dress choices. Illusion sleeves, off-the-shoulder styles and short-capped sleeves lend interest to your look without detracting from the overall aesthetic, while detachable (especially illusion) sleeves transport you from the aisle to the dance floor with sartorial savoir faire.

feature | YOUR PATH TO HEN ZEN

BANNER BAN? When it comes to costumes and décor, we can all be on very different pages. So make sure you have the book open and the page earmarked from the very start. If you’re not a sashand-banners kind of girl, let them know. Your besties should already have a good idea of your décor style, but sometimes the excitement of an event can take over and, before you know it, you’re sipping drinks from phallic straws before you can say “I rather like Ming china”.

WHEN AND WHERE Save the dates were invented for a reason. Everyone’s diaries and calendars fill up early, so it’s best to start talking dates as early as you can. Don’t meticulously plan a hen party and then pick a date. You may be sorely disappointed when it comes to availability, so get the date in the diary early doors and, if that means clogging up your besties’ WhatsApp with messages about weekends next year, then so be it.

KEEP IT CONFIDENTIAL Some of your guests may remember a time when photography film had to be sent off to be developed. So make sure the rules about snapping and putting photos on social media are very clear from the outset. Auntie Elizabeth may be a governor at her local school and not want the world to see her dancing on a table in a feather boa. So think carefully and, seeing as these are your nearest and dearest, try to keep any photographs and videos between you. At least until you’ve all had breakfast together the next day, enjoyed a good giggle and deleted anything that you’d rather not see again.

wedmagazine.co.uk

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Where we live, people are often known by the work they do: Sam the Painter, Jago the Boat, Dave Boots (he’s actually a plumber, but he wears distinctive boots when working), Anna Flowers, Lou Shoes and even Brendan Wed. Often, surnames can be surplus to requirement if a functional description overrides its need. It’s how it was at the beginning of civilisation. Yet since then, we humans have grown in number, and therefore have a need for more specialised names to differentiate which Anna we’re actually talking to or about. These names tell of our heritage. They help us to be understood, to order a taxi, book a hotel, receive a pay cheque, buy a house and sign a letter to the ones we love.

THE IMPORTANCE OF NAMES Why stress this point? Well, even though you’re more than the sum of the letters that make up your name, names have become humanity’s shorthand to connection and belonging. It’s the way we summarise people. All our successes, failures, learning and heritage exist under the name we more than likely inherited from our fathers. It means those labels mean so much more than the sound they make and the knowledge they conjure. Our name, both in the physical and virtual worlds, is in essence immortal. It will outlast each and every one of us. Which is why when it comes to changing your name, it’s not simply a matter of filling in a form or inventing a new signature. It’s a matter of power and significance. It’s a matter of identity, for discussion and collaborative decision-making.

BEHIND THE TRADITION The tradition of a bride taking her husband’s family name began a long time ago. The Doctrine of Coverture was a set of laws derived from feudal Norman custom between the years 1000 and 1500, and formally written into British law in the 1700s. The law dictated that a married woman’s identity was ‘covered’ by her husband’s, and he became her legal representative. The law meant that legally, a husband and wife became one person: the husband – meaning her husband in effect had complete legal and economic control, over her, any property or money she owned, further education she wanted to pursue and children they had. The Coverture laws began to be dismantled during the late 1800s in the UK, but it was not until the 1970s that a woman (single or married) could get a mortgage outright without a male guarantor. And of course, not until 2014 did we see samesex marriage in the UK, which is why the history is all related to marriage between a man and woman.

ASSESSING YOUR OPTIONS Luckily, today’s etiquette is much more modern in its approach, and there are now multiple options when it comes to changing or not changing your name. Still the most traditional option is for a woman to take her husband’s surname. According to research conducted by YouGov in 2016, it remains our default setting, with almost 60% of women saying they would prefer to take their husband’s name rather than keep their own. Many decide to walk the traditional road for any children they may have. It’s a simpler path to have one family name and, as things currently stand, is the identity option that needs the least explanation. Although far less common, some men choose to take their wife’s surname, perhaps if she’s the last in the family line with her maiden name. Another option is to both keep your own names. When it comes to passports, chequebooks, and every account you have online, keeping your name is a convenience some prefer, as well as preserving a level of independence. With a policy of no-change comes identity continuity. If you’ve been Jenny Goldstein at the office, your business or the hospital for the past few decades, you might prefer to maintain that identity for your clients, customers and colleagues. It’s also a show that one name (and therefore partner) doesn’t assume a level of importance or dominance over the other. Option three is to both use both surnames, whether by double-barrelling or simply choosing which to come first, perhaps by choosing how they sound together rather

Or you might both choose an entirely new surname in the search for a fresh and bold statement of unity and identity. This approach chooses an entirely new or letter-blended approach to your married name. It’s something Alex and Tom did for their wedding at Lusty Glaze in 2019. “Not long after the speeches were over, we revealed our new chosen family name, which we asked our guests to help with by requesting a suggestion on the RSVP cards,” explains Alex. “We chose ‘Kerensa’, the Cornish word for love.”

RURAL ROMANCE Rustic continues to be reimagined in weddings, with grooms wear providing the perfect place to rock a little pastoral: the boutonniere. Whether it’s to complement a country venue, autumn date, the bridesmaids’ ensembles, a tweed suit – or add a bespoke accessory to sharp modern tailoring – a rustic style buttonhole is as striking as it is on trend. We love how florists are creatively mixing colour and texture – think dried petals, pine cones and fresh-from-the-hedgerow finds – to produce these mini masterpieces of highly wearable floral art. 1.

SPIRITED AWAY

Set amidst 42 acres of organic farmland close to Cornwall’s north coast, Mount Pleasant Eco Park offers a creative and relaxed space for couples dreaming of a sustainable celebration immersed in natural beauty. From the ceremony amphitheatre to the light-filled open barn space of reclaimed timbers and corrugated metal, the venue provided the perfect canvas for eco florist Cat Allen of Tide Flowers to create a gloriously colourful wedding scene inspired by her travels. “I was inspired by my travels in India and wanted to fill the spaces with colour and movement reminiscent of the markets, with dyed fabrics hung out to dry in the sun, celebration garlands with thousands of fresh flowers strung together, floral patterns, mouth-watering street food, and beautifully presented sweets and treats,” explains Cat. Naturally, sourcing flowers and details locally and sustainably was key. “I used as much local produce as possible. This was mixed with a selection of fair trade imports, all of which are varieties that would be available as British grown throughout the year,” says Cat. “The floral arrangements were designed to look a little untamed and natural to mirror the natural surroundings of the rugged north Cornwall coast – ‘gathered’ rather than structured and neat, which is also in keeping with the venue vibe.” Hand-dyed fabrics and napkins in indigo blue provide contrast to the carnival of colour, while tea light holders shaped like artichokes and lotus flowers enhance the eastern vibe. Dressed with fresh fruit and edible flowers, the cake makes a glorious sweet centrepiece for a feast of vegetarian and vegan dishes, reminiscent of Indian street food, from the on-site café. Completing the picture, the bride dons a festival-ready jumpsuit, her messy plait dotted with flowers, while her groom rocks a splash of colour via his buttonhole.

WINTER WONDER

wed’s style files Inspiration for a so-you celebration

style | RECEPTIONS | WINTER WONDER

There’s something deeply romantic about a wedding in the heart of winter: the sumptuous colours and twinkling accents; the warming drinks and decadent feasts served on lavishly dressed tables; the flicker of candlelight and crackling open fires as night falls. This styled shoot celebrates the magic of the season with styling that oozes opulence and individuality. A palette of deep red and blue blends beautifully with shimmers of gold and peacock feather teal, carrying from the showstopping balloon display to the exquisite cake, adorned with intricately crafted blooms and golden leaves. Then there’s the lavish tablescape, its abundant foliage dotted with peacock feathers and golden baubles, the warm glow of candlelight heightening the sense of romance. The fashions echo the modern and eye-catchingly individual aesthetic. Although now an all-yearround choice for style-savvy grooms, winter is the ultimate season to don a sharp dinner suit; a deep blue tailcoat also makes a sophisticated and fittingly formal statement for the stately home setting, while a grey tweed ensemble nods to a more relaxed, country gent vibe. Speckled with faceted stones that sparkle in the candlelight, the sleeved Willowby by Watters gown is an effortlessly beautiful look for fashion-forward winter brides. The plunging lace gown – accessorised with a glittering crown and lace boots – looks dreamily beautiful, while the clean lines of the Jesus Peiro gown offer sleek, contemporary bridal drama, perfectly accessorised with a birdcage veil and ruby red lips. Against the flicker of candlelight, it is a captivating, contemporary and oh-so romantic scene.

Florist Emma Hewlett is passionate about creating floral installations. Here are her top tips for wow-worthy wedding flowers... Be bold. If you’re going to invest your budget on an installation you want it to really stand out. Consider your venue and access. It’s not always possible to hang flowers in certain places; what’s more, they do take time and ideally need to be done on the morning of the event. Tone down the table. If you’re creating the wow factor in the sky, consider your table décor – you could really tone down the table flowers. Think outside the box. Installations don’t just have to be something hanging from the ceiling – let your florist advise on new and exciting ways to transform your venue. Summer stems. If you’re getting married in the height of summer, chat with your florist about what’s possible. Don’t snub the offer of a few faux flowers – no one will know when they are high in the ceiling and it allows you to create impact without the fear of flowers wilting in the heat. Dazzle with dried. Dried florals are a big trend at the moment and great for installation work.

PLANT-BASED PERFECTION! Considering throwing a plant-based wedding feast? The kitchen crew at rural wedding venue Trevenna unveil their seasonal and oh-so delicious dishes to whet your appetites! words Rebecca Matthews

PLANT-BASED PERFECTION!

Plant-based is the biggest movement in food right now – and it’s causing a scrumptious stir on many a wedding menu. Put simply, plant-based means food that comes from plants and doesn’t include ingredients from animal sources, such as meat, milk, eggs and honey. Thanks to growing awareness concerning the environmental impact of food production, a real focus on ethically minded eating has emerged over recent years, which, together with research showing the health benefits of a diet made up largely of fruit, vegetables, beans, nuts and grains, has led to a boom in people following a plant-based diet. This, in turn, has led to an increasing number of couples either opting for a wholly plant-based wedding feast – and seeking inspiration for dishes that will wow even the most dedicated of carnivore guests – or seeking standout plant-based dishes to complement their chosen meat and fish dishes. The days of adding a bland vegetable lasagne to your menu as an afterthought have long gone – plant-based dishes have become sophisticated fare, with chefs clamouring to elevate the cuisine to a creative and sumptuous level. With sustainable initiatives being key to the ethos at Trevenna, which sits amidst 142 acres of unspoilt Cornish countryside, the venue’s kitchen crew have taken on the challenge of creating new, seasonal and truly delicious plant-based dishes for a memorable wedding feast. “Home cooking and sociable eating together is central to all our weddings at Trevenna,” explains owner Jonathan Rowe. “We have always sourced ingredients from and supported local growers, farmers and fishing ports, and producers. We are mindful of the environmental impact of food production, and we’re now growing more vegetables and herbs in our walled garden and fields.” Drawing inspiration from the seasons, and what is growing, ripening and ready to harvest, the dishes deliver colour and taste to your guests. Packed with flavour, canapés such as roasted squash filo tarts, and herb pesto and houmous mini Yorkshire puddings serve as a tantalising taste of the feast to come. A creative and scrumptious approach to flavour continues throughout the starters and main course: think sweet potato, coconut and chilli soup with crispy shallots, and homity pie, beetroot gratin and caramelised potatoes. Add desserts such as sticky toffee pudding with maple syrup and pecan, and tasty sides of beetroot and potato rosti, aubergine parmigiana, and balsamic onion tart – and you have a range of hearty and filling dishes, which look appetising and taste delicious. “Paired with organic and biodynamic wines served by carafe to cut down on the need for glass recycling, the dishes might be served together as a completely plantbased wedding feast, or to the centre of the table to share alongside complementary classic local meat and fish dishes,” says Jonathan. “The plant-based dishes sit alongside Trevenna’s homemade breads, baking, and the famous Trevenna wedding cakes.”

SPIRIT REVIVAL Move over gin, there’s a new spirit rocking Cornwall’s drinks scene. Rum is experiencing a renaissance, and we’re at the front of the queue words Lucy Higgins

Recent years have been described as a ‘ginaissance’ in the drinks industry, the boom in craft gins leading to recordsmashing sales in 2019, with Brits buying 83 million bottles worth over £2.6bn. Cornwall has played a key role in the movement, with small-batch premium gins being crafted from Padstow to Penzance. And, of course, the whiff of juniper has filled the air of weddings across the county as guests sup on gorgeously garnished local favourites. But now the rum revival is fully underway. Traditionally seen as the domain of salty seadogs and Cuban bartenders, a new generation is discovering the versatility of the spirit – and distillers are clamouring to carve out their niche within the market. From dark and spiced to white mojito-ready rums, the newfound popularity of rum is clear to see on

wedding menus across the county.

COYABA Made by Curio Spirits in Mullion, the Coyaba range is inspired by natural ingredients that reflect west Cornwall’s culture, heritage and locality – but with a twist of the Caribbean. We’re big fans of the Spiced Banana rum, described as “a bangin’ banana rum that smacks of banoffee pie”, with added spicy cinnamon and vanilla for a flavoursome kick. You can also choose from Tangy Mango, Salted Caramel, the super-hot Flame rum, or Scorched Pineapple, which has a feistier flavour that’s infused with sweet cinder toffee. coyabarum.com Serving suggestion: Try the Spiced Banana rum with ginger ale and a wedge of lime to pack a punch as the dance floor opens.

HELIGAN’S LOST GARDEN RUM Created as a collaboration between The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Trevethan (renowned for its gin), this Caribbean-style rum is authentically crafted using sugar cane molasses fermented in Cornwall and then distilled using traditional copper alembic stills. Cornish virgin charred oak, which has been soaked in Heligan’s Black Bee Honey and Pedro Ximinez sherry, is added to the distilled rum to age for eight weeks, while the final infusion of flavour comes from adding the juice of the Cornish-grown Heligan pineapples. Exquisite. heligan.com Serving suggestion: Just a touch of soda water will complement this flavourful rum, ideal as a welcome drink.

KALKAR Distilled from scratch on the north Cornish coast, this smooth rum is blended with a single origin coffee, which is cold-brewed on site. Taking its name from the Cornish for ‘weaver fish’ (sure to strike dread in any beach-goers!), it has only four ingredients: Nicaraguan coffee, white rum, water and a little raw sugar cane, giving it a strong and rich flavour that isn’t too sweet. genuinebritishrum.com Serving suggestion: An incredible addition to an espresso martini, it’s a great after-dinner cocktail.

MORVENNA WHITE With fruity notes and a buttery finish, this is a gorgeous summery tipple that stirs visions of lying beneath a palm tree on a desert island. Distilled from scratch in Bude, Morvenna is perfect for cocktails as well as a standalone drink over ice, making it a local favourite that’s as versatile as it is refreshing. genuinebritishrum.com Serving suggestion: Squeeze half a lime into a glass, add 50ml of Morvenna White and top with cola for a ‘Kernow Libre’, an ideal garden party-style drink.

BORA Named after the Cornish word for dawn thanks to its light amber hue, Bora Botanical Rum is the latest rum on the scene – and is being dubbed “a rum for gin lovers” by the team at Penryn Spirits. Distilled using natural, locally sourced botanicals, including nettles and quinces, the light, dry rum is a new take on a traditional spiced rum, described as a “Caribbean spirit with Cornish spice”. Delicious. penrynspirits.com Serving suggestion: Serve over ice with tonic water and a sprig of rosemary for a refreshingly different welcome drink.

RATHLEE GOLDEN BARREL AGED RUM Described as ‘Cornish rum with Latin spirit’, Rathlee Golden Barrel Aged Rum is inspired by creators Paola’s Colombian roots and Stuart’s Cornish ones. With notes of tropical fruit, honey and vanilla, and a warm peppery finish, it’s distilled in Latin America before arriving on the shores of Cornwall in charred white oak barrels. Blended with pure Cornish water, it creates a smooth flavour with a touch of Latin fiesta. rathleedistilling.com Serving suggestion: Serve it in a Hot Buttered Rum at a winter wedding by mixing 50ml Rathlee Rum with 140g Cornish salted butter, 170g brown sugar, 1 tsp orange zest and ¾ tsp each of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.

MAINBRACE A unique spliced rum of two distinct and never-before blended styles from Guyana and Martinique, Mainbrace is a perfectly balanced golden tipple that was dreamt up on the Helford Passage and created in Cornwall. With initial grassy notes that quickly subside to caramel, toffee and a subtle spiciness, it’s made using traditional methods and no sweeteners to allow the true flavour to sing out. mainbracerum.com

CAPE CORNWALL WHITE RUM Aged, mixed, spiced and bottled on Cornwall’s far-western tip, the rums from the Cape Cornwall Rum Company come to life in a family farm building known as ‘the wink’, thought to be the storage place for rum and other goods smuggled by boat to avoid high government taxes. Available in white,

COCKTAIL HOUR Jo Fitch from Cornwall’s super-stylish airstream bar company The Buffalo serves up her favourite rum cocktail recipes

Mojito This is the ultimate crowd-pleasing cocktail. Crushed ice, heaps of fresh mint and freshly squeezed lime juice are a must. 50ml rum 25ml simple syrup

Mojito

25ml lime juice 10-12 mint leaves Cold soda Take the mint in your hands and clap it a few times to release the oils a little then muddle gently in a highball glass. It’s important not to break up the mint or you’ll be sipping bits of mint up your straw. Put a scoop of crushed ice into the glass. Pour over the rum, simple syrup and lime and stir, top up with more crushed ice and top with soda. Garnish with a few mint sprigs and a wheel of lime.

Hurricane This is my go-to when I’m not sure what to have, and I love it! Its tropical fruitiness is so perfect for a clifftop or beach wedding. 25ml light rum 25ml dark rum 25ml freshly squeezed lime juice 20ml passionfruit syrup 10ml grenadine 110ml orange juice Measure all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with a good scoop of ice.

approximately 20 seconds, pour everything into a highball glass. Garnish with an orange wedge, edible flowers if you have them and a beautiful paper straw.

Dark ‘n’ Stormy This is another crowd-pleaser and super simple with cold ginger beer! 50ml Gosling’s Black Seal Rum 20ml freshly squeezed lime juice Ginger beer Few dashes of Angostura bitters Put a good scoop of ice into a highball glass and measure in the rum, lime juice and shake 3-4 dashes of bitters in. Top with ginger beer, stir and garnish with a lime wheel.

Piña Colada You’ll almost feel the sand between your toes as you sip on this classic and supertropical cocktail! You’ll need a blender. 25ml rum 25ml coconut rum 30-40ml coconut purée 110ml pineapple juice 2 good scoops of ice

Dark ‘n’ Stormy

Put all the ingredients into a blender (make sure your blender can blend ice!) and blend until smooth. Pour into a highball glass, and garnish with edible flowers and a beautiful paper straw.

Mai Tai Prepare for a real taste explosion from this classic cocktail. 50ml rum 20ml curaçao triple sec 25ml freshly squeezed lime 15ml orgeat (contains almonds) Add all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker and a scoop of crushed ice. Give a short sharp shake – no longer than five seconds (called whipping). Pour all the ingredients into a double rocks glass (tumbler), add more crushed ice if necessary, and garnish with an upturned squeezed lime shell and a sprig of mint to represent a palm tree and a desert island; if this isn’t possible then masses of mint sprigs and edible flowers work well. thebuffalo.co.uk

USA The USA is renowned for its epic landscapes, characterful cities and, of course, its creative foodstuffs, so it’s no wonder that couples draw on elements of American culture for their weddings. Ashleigh and Greg were holidaying in America when Greg chose their scenic surrounds as the prime location to pop the question. As a result, there were nods to the country throughout their Cornish wedding. “I love fall in America, so there were a lot of pumpkins, squashes and food to match; that was the main inspiration for our wedding,” says Ashleigh. Playing on the American theme, Krispy Kreme doughnuts became a statement feature, along with traditional candy corn. “They added a great look and most people hadn’t heard of them before so it was something fun for people to try. I also made pumpkin pies and candy apples because I wanted more of a Thanksgiving sweet table and stuff you wouldn’t normally see at a wedding!” As well as doughnuts and candy corn, there’s another sweet surprise that Jenny Granlund has seen popping up at local weddings: s’mores stations! “We created this American classic for one of our US couples last year,” she says. “They heated the marshmallows on firepits, then wedged them between a sandwich of Golden Grahams crackers with a Hershey’s chocolate on top. Guests loved it and the table looked really pretty at night with lots of candles and fairy lights.” She also recalls the wedding of an American bride in Fowey. “She had a real love of the American-style cookies, so we arranged for a local bakery to freshly bake five different types of cookies each morning (over the whole wedding weekend) and we displayed them on a ‘cookie station’ at the hotel reception for guests to help themselves to!” Another couple, Megan and Brendan, took their former home as their inspiration, too. It was while Megan was living in New York that Brendan took the opportunity to pop the question at one of the city’s most iconic locations – Central Park – Clare Kinchin

during a Christmas visit. In a nod to the moment, the couple served woodfired s’mores including baked cookies, toasted marshmallows, honeycomb, popping candy and salted caramel.

FINLAND Known for its snowy vistas, breathtaking national parks and deliciously warming food, the Nordic country provides oodles of inspiration for a stylish wedding, as it did for Cat and Tommy. “Due to work schedules and Christmas, we had our honeymoon before our wedding – an amazing snowy holiday to Finland,” explains Cat. “On our return, we promptly made some changes to our winter wedding to include some of the Finnish food and drink that we’d loved so much.” She says: “We switched our welcome drink to Glögi, which is the Finnish version of mulled wine, and ordered lots of Piperkakut – authentic Finnish gingerbread cookies – for guests to enjoy as they arrived at our venue.” They also added some new décor elements to their English winter wedding, intermingling ivy, holly berries and mistletoe with faux fur pelts.

PORTUGAL Having lived in the south of Portugal while working at a surf school, Connor knew he wanted to honour the country at his wedding to Mary. “Even though she’d never been to Portugal, lots of our guests coming to our wedding were friends I’d made out there, so it was important to us both to have little touches throughout the day,” he says. “Our table names were a combination of our favourite beaches both there and in Cornwall, where Mary is from, and we asked everyone to write a piece of advice to us on a cork (Portugal is a big cork producer), which we saved in a big bottle to smash open on our anniversary.” Rosie and Liam also themed their wedding around the things they love, including many elements from their campervan travels and a menu featuring pastel de natas (Portuguese custard tarts) that they had freshly baked and delivered on the day. You could treat your guests to further Portuguese specialities such as frango piri piri (chicken piri piri), caldeirada (fish stew), or even doce fino de Algarve (marzipan sweets) for favours.

feature | OUR WANDERLUST WEDDING

AUSTRALIA As a gap year favourite and must-visit on many a round-theworld ticket, many couples wish to incorporate their fond memories of Australia into their wedding day. “Australia will always be a special place for us as it’s where our story began, so we honoured that in a few ways at our wedding,” says Flora of where she met Jamie. Their ‘lolly bar’ consisted of classic Aussie sweets, including Red Frogs, Violet Crumble Bites and Caramello Koalas, as well as “the Byron lighthouse at the top of our cake, and wine from a Hunter Valley vineyard,” says Flora. Josh Harkon

For Sophie and Trav, not only is Australia Trav’s homeland, but it was during a trip there that Trav proposed. Their wedding took an “Australia meets Cornwall” theme, with a surf competition, a barbecue and a cricket match on the beach, as well as a surfboardstyle guestbook. Australia is home to some of the world’s leading bridal brands so donning one of the gowns is a gorgeous way to honour the country. A laidback barbecue smacks of Aussie style and a pre-ceremony surf or post-ceremony game of cricket would be bonza! Josh Harkon Verity Westcott

MEXICO A country that’s renowned for bringing the fiesta, a Mexicaninspired wedding will be one of delicious food, refreshing cocktails and, of course, a whole lot of colour!

Venetia Norrington

“We had pretty much every colour imaginable and all the decorations, including the piñatas, were made by myself, my family and friends. It was a colour feast for the eyes!” says Elise, who opted for a Mexican-style fiesta reception at her wedding to James. As well as the décor, they also incorporated fun details such as fake moustaches and rocket balloons along with live music from the Mariachi Kings and a tasty Mexican-style feast.

Katie and Tom also embraced Mexican cuisine at their wedding, with sharing platters of enchiladas and barbecue pulled jackfruit, and sides such as black beans, Mexican rice, Mexican slaw, queso blanco and tomatillo guacamole. And, of course, pairing delicious food with exotic drinks is something Mexico does only too well – how about a mojito to wash down your nachos or tacos?

also created a ‘slammer station’ for tequila slammers throughout the evening – salt, tequila, lime… It really got people in the mood!”

band let you know the last song’s coming up and then… that’s it. The lights come on, and off you go. But there are plenty of ideas to end the day on a high and send you off into married life with a huge smile on your face. Confetti, rice and rose petals are all traditional ideas for a big send-off, while coffee beans are climbing the ranks as a trendy way to say goodbye, and party-finishing favourites include bubbles, sparklers or glow sticks. Here are some of our favourite ways to finish your big day with a bang (and a fantastic photo opportunity!).

We love the idea of guests whizzing paper aeroplanes towards a departing bride and groom, sending them on their honeymoon and marriage journey together in style. These could always be adorned with messages of good luck and best wishes for your life together like a mobile wishing tree or guest book. Just make sure you have

AUTUMN LEAVES crisp autumn leaves of all shapes and colours ranging from russet reds to radiant yellows. A wedding day later in the year could be the perfect backdrop for guests to scatter and throw tumbling leaves; even better if the colours of the season match your theme or you have some autumnal accents running through your day.

WILD FLOWERS & HERBS If you’re throwing a summer bash, have your guests scatter dried wild flowers of every summery shade and even fragrant summer herbs like mint, rosemary

or lavender from paper cones as you leave. This is certainly a super-pretty and deliciously scented way to exit your day.

HELIUM BALLOONS Guests clutching white helium balloons that are released as you leave the reception would create a magical backdrop. If it’s a surprise, your photographer will be able to capture the look of awe and wonder on your faces as well. Just make sure you choose ecofriendly, biodegradable balloons please!

HOT OFF THE PRESS PICS Whizz-kid photographers and videographers may be able to make this one happen so find out early if it’s a possibility. Imagine an exit against a backdrop of images, a slideshow or video montage from the big day that hasn’t even finished yet! Hot-off-the-press, neverseen-before reportage snaps of beaming faces and silly moments from just hours before would make a magical, tear-jerking exit and will have your guests begging for the party to never end.

HANDHELD BELLS A selection of antique handheld bells given to your guests could be the most magical and rousing sound to help you make your big exit. These can either be rung alongside the church bells should you be marrying in a place of worship, or simply rung out by your guests at the end of your reception in an unarranged symphony. Cow bells could also be used if you’re tying the knot in a rustic setting.

SNOWFLAKES If the weather isn’t choosing to be seasonal on your winter wedding date, there’s nothing stopping you creating a magical snow-filled area of your reception. Have crisp artificial snow underfoot, snowflakes hanging from trees, snowballs to throw and perhaps even a reindeer or two. This will take some coordination and budget but, when it comes to wedding planning, most things are possible.

RIBBON WANDS Ribbon wands in a kaleidoscope of rainbow colours will be sure to make the most beautiful photographs – and your smaller guests will love them! Or, for a surprise, organise a dance troupe to perform a rhythmic ribbon dance while you make your colourful exit.

POM-POMS Small, soft pom-poms in your chosen colour scheme could be thrown as you leave the church. Or artistic types could coordinate a mass effort to throw all the colours in groups at the same time, creating a floating rainbow effect that, hopefully, could be captured on film.

PIÑATA Sticking with rainbows, we love the idea of a giant rainbow piñata that you walk beneath, being showered with rainbow confetti as your guests carefully hit it. You could have pots of gold paper at the end of the rainbows for added good luck wishes, which could be scattered by your smaller guests.

CONFETTI CANNONS Biodegradable gold confetti cannons are one way to end your day feeling like a true superstar. And true superstars, of course, like everything that glitters, so, if you’re brave enough to spend the next few days picking shiny sparkles out of your hair, then why not go for broke and let your guests go wild with ecofriendly glitter, too? Photographs of guests showering you in glitter should be mesmerising! (Hint: go for coarsely cut glitter if you can).

SEED BOMBS End your day with the promise of new life. You could ask your guests to throw seed bombs if your reception is held in an open space on private land, and the landowners allow it of course. Although you won’t get a wow return right there and then, let the seeds do their job and they’ll eventually grow into an abundance of wild flowers. You and your guests can then visit the site as the years go by to see how your new wild flower garden is growing.

Tech-savvy celebrations – I’ve always been a fan of tech and, of late, no matter what profession, we have all seen how our lives have been involved in the latest developments. Zoom might be quite new to most people, but this is something I’m used to using as my clients often live further afield or abroad and our planning chats are often conducted online. I think tech will continue to feature in our lives, with couples taking advantage of virtual venue viewings post-Covid, 3D tours, or holding their initial enquiries with suppliers via video.

WEEKDAY WEDDINGS With a potential scrambling for dates to be expected as a result of postponements being planned alongside pre-existing wedding bookings, alternative days will be requested and weekday weddings will become a popular, no-brainer option. “When looking for venues during 2021 and 2022, there are going to be many venues where their key summer dates are already fully booked with rescheduled bookings. Therefore, couples need to be open to holding their wedding on a weekday, and also during different seasons,” explains Jessica. “Winter is one of my favourite times to hold a celebration so don’t just naturally think that your wedding needs to be in summer. Weddings can be beautiful no matter the season and there are so many styling options to reflect seasonality.” Altering your season and day may appear daunting, but consider the freedom (and moneysaving bonus) that a midweek or midwinter wedding might offer.

The Unbridled

SUSTAINABILITY AND SHOPPING LOCALLY With so many businesses being adversely affected by Covid-19, the already-growing trend toward supporting local enterprise and minimising environmental impact will continue to influence couples’ planning decisions with even greater gusto. “Life after lockdown will make some people really think about what’s important and ensure quality over quantity,” says Jessica. “We were beginning to see this before Covid-19, but I think people will give greater consideration to sustainability and a trend towards sourcing local suppliers.” The green wedding movement has gathered huge pace in recent years and is fast becoming one of the most-desired types of W-day, whether in the form of zero waste, being more sustainable, or locally sourced micro events. “I also think that greater consideration will be given to the mental and physical wellbeing of celebrations with the rise of ‘wellness weddings’,” predicts Jessica, which is another emerging trend that looks set to gain momentum. “Along with foam-free florals and checking what sustainable measures your suppliers are adopting to sourcing ethical fabrics or even holding a yoga class for your guests, I think weddings could become a bit more zen.”

of recent times that we all yearn for: a wedding packed with personality, loved ones, and a grateful, giving-back sense of calm.

Rebecca Green of Rebel + Anchor shares some top tips for reception planning in current times

Food & drink If you’re set on a buffet or dessert station then make sure they’re served. That way, only the serving staff needs to wear gloves and use utensils to serve the chosen items. Relaxed street food can be done easily. With outside catering vehicles, guests can be safely served pizzas, hot dogs, burritos etc. Guests can then dispose of their waste and recycling with bins provided. Whilst it’s a lovely idea for guests to have a self-serve bar or even their own glass, this wouldn’t be advisable. It would be better to have lots of smaller bar set-ups rather than one large one, thus allowing a smaller number of people to congregate. Use glassware rather than plastics and have separate glass collectors and washing staff, who need to wash glasses straight away once collected, wearing appropriate protection and gloves.

Seating & dancing Nobody knows to what extent we’re going to be social distancing so perhaps rather than table places, have a more relaxed affair with lots of different tables and seating areas so guests can find a place to sit where they feel comfortable. Everyone will be affected differently during these times and letting people do what makes them feel comfortable is a winner. Hopefully there will be a time when dance floors can be packed again. However, for those less sure about being in a crowd, but still want to feel involved, consider surrounding the floor with some poseur tables that guests can reside at or dance beside without feeling too exposed.

Cleaning

It seems a simple antidote to the surreal stresses

If you’re having a DIY, dry hire wedding then check all your suppliers have practices in place regarding cleaning, food and bar service that adhere to any government guidelines. Also consider hiring cleaners to be present throughout the day, which will ensure areas and restrooms can be constantly cleaned for extra peace of mind.

feature | SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL

A matter of cost One benefit of a micro wedding is its relative inexpensiveness, since having fewer guests gives the option to save money or spend it elsewhere. “Feeding 20 guests as opposed to 120 guests means couples can consider that cordon bleu chef and seven-course dining extravaganza if they’re both foodies,” says Rebecca. “A small wedding on average costs a lot less than a large wedding,” says Emma. “Although that doesn’t mean a compromise on quality – in fact, we hear our couples telling us that they want a really fantastic menu with locally sourced produce, good champagne and a sense of treating their guests to a fabulous day.” Paul Caddis

By reappropriating funds, you’re essentially able to treat each individual guest more, packing your day full of thoughtful detail to make it a more sensory experience.

Paul Caddis

“If there are not as many guests, then really great hospitality in a beautiful setting can be affordable. What’s great about doing things on a micro scale is that the spend per head can go up, but the overall cost goes down,” says Emma. What’s more, it follows that the environmental cost could also be less, minimising the carbon footprint of you and your guests to give your wedding greater benevolence and sense of eco-conscience.

Your day, your way “If you’re after a relaxed, intimate and special feel to your wedding day then a micro wedding is for you,” extols Tamara of the bespoke factor micro weddings bestow. “Each wedding at Treseren is unique,” says Emma. “Because we offer exclusive use, and it’s a very secluded setting, our couples can take over the space for a few days and bring their own ideas and atmosphere. As they are on a smaller scale, micro weddings are easy to personalise and couples can focus on the details that are important to them – such as incredible food, a special floral installation, or beautiful stationery.” She adds: “A small wedding doesn’t mean having to compromise on style or the type of day a couple wants. We host our intimate weddings at weekends as well as weekdays – they always look beautiful and although the guest list is small, they are big on style and atmosphere.” Another bonus is that couples can more freely exercise carte blanche rights in every aspect of their day. “A micro wedding can be anything a couple wants it to be,” says Emma. “We see traditional elements, and we see couples inventing their own style of how they want to get married, choosing the elements of tradition they want to keep and throwing away any parts they don’t like. For some, traditional rituals like cutting the cake and throwing the bouquet are a must. Others don’t bother with tradition at all. We had one very relaxed family wedding last summer in the sunshine that was followed by table tennis on the lawn and a barbecue.” Rebecca is replete with ideas of how to achieve a personalised micro wedding. “Styling and décor can be much more intimate, cosy – and it’s pretty easy to achieve a breathtaking atmosphere Paul Caddis

Micro weddings also bring more options for personalisation. “Favours can really be personal and customised, for example, you can hire a caricaturist to sketch everyone or the dinner scene,” she adds. “Another positive is that you can have some real fun at the table. You can have one big old table, with all your loved ones around. You could have creative food choices, making the dinner an interactive experience for each guest. The cake doesn’t need to be traditional, or large – or even a cake at all!”

Optional extras By freeing up time and budget, couples can design a unique day that entirely suits them and their guests – including an array of additional activities and indulgences. Paul Caddis

“I love the idea of an adventure-filled micro wedding where the day is tied in with an adventure that the guests can join in, for example, hot-air ballooning or surf lessons,” says Rebecca.

Paul Caddis

“There’s also more money for other fun stuff either pre or post-wedding,” she suggests. “They can do that zip wire ride with friends, have an early morning yoga session or, if they prefer, take the group wine tasting, perhaps the day after.” Agreeing that micro weddings are “definitely

on the up”, Rebecca can see why. “They’re fun, generally relaxed and very, very bespoke to the couple,” she concludes..

TOP TIPS FOR PLANNING A MICRO WEDDING Tempted? Emma from Treseren shares her advice for couples Do what feels right for you! If you want to opt for a small wedding, it may be that you cannot invite everybody, but the great thing about choosing a small venue with limited numbers means that people you don’t invite should not feel offended – they should understand that this is what you have chosen and be happy for you. For those who celebrate with you, they will enjoy a really special and personal day with you. When you’re looking for a venue, imagine how you want your day to flow and whether the venue feels right. Most couples who decide on a micro wedding look for an exclusive-use venue that does not include

Paul Caddis

access from members of the public, or is open to other guests, meaning a very intimate and special experience can be created. You do not want to feel ‘lost’ in a setting that feels too big and amplifies the small numbers, you need somewhere ‘just right’ with plenty of space for everybody to relax, but the right proportions for the intimate atmosphere to be created. Take time to check that the venue host really understands how you envisage your day to be, and whether they include planning and coordination. It’s so important for small weddings that the team behind the scenes is happy to blend in to the atmosphere created by you and your guests. Every wedding is unique, and a good intimate venue will absolutely understand and embrace this. If you can’t visit to view the venue and meet the owner, make sure you have a telephone or Skype call to build connection and understanding.

CZECH IT OUT

This side of the water, amongst the ridiculously picturesque Lesser Town (Malá Strana), you’ll also be treated to the colourful spectacle of the graffiti-laden John Lennon Wall, while the haunting Franz Kafka Museum is another cultural hotspot for literature lovers to dwell awhile. Explore the city island of Kampa (book a table at celebrity favourite Kampa Park for a decadent dining experience), and relish the mass of modern European art at Museum Kampa before ambling the riverside to Strelecký Island to gaze back at Charles Bridge in the company of swans, ducks and beavers as they wallow in the bank’s scenic shallows. Cross the Legion Bridge back to the National Theatre and head south toward New Town (Nové Mésto) for Dancing House (Tančící düm), which appears precariously perched on the corner overlooking the Rašín Embankment. Affectionately nicknamed Fred and Ginger due to its resemblance to a pair of dancers, the striking building was designed by the Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić and Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry in the early nineties and boasts a top-floor restaurant complete with sweeping cityscapes. Other sights to behold, schedule and whim permitting, include Prague Jewish Museum, Strahov Library, National Monument and the historic Wenceslas Square, all of which are interspersed with shopping, dining and drinking aplenty. And if you tire of exploring on foot, take to the water with a scenic cruise, boat ride, or better yet, in a pedalo shaped like a swan or racing car (bookable around Slovanský ostrov near the National Theatre). It’s also a beautiful city to cycle around, with many cycle tour options available via Airbnb. Prague’s café culture is another allure. Sample any of the sweet things ubiquitously on offer, from fruit-filled pastry (kolach), to sweet dough buns (buchty), filled pancakes (palačinky) and misa cake alongside your coffee of choice as you idly people-watch. Drinking is, unsurprisingly, a popular pastime. Prague claims ‘best beer in the world’ status and is home to an astonishing amount of beer spas where you can immerse yourself entirely in the amber fluid, should the idea tickle your honeymooning fancies. Seek out quirky cafés and watering holes like The Hemingway Bar to sup from a copper garden gnome, hipster hangout Kavárna Mlýnská, beer-centric Pivovarský Klub and art deco beauty Kavárna Slavia. It vaunts an ever-expanding gastronomy including Michelinstarred establishments, globally renowned chefs and characterful eateries (including dining in a bone fide cave courtesy of Triton Restaurant). Head to Marina Ristorante for dining on a converted boat with city views, and for a boozy brunch you can’t go past Mylnec. The streets are chock with tourist-favourite trdelník (delicious deep-fried dough spirals filled with soft-serve ice cream or whipped cream with an array of toppings), and smažený sýr (deep-fried cheese). Soups and meat are the mainstays of most menus offering the traditional likes of goulash (guláš), veproknedlo-zelo (roast pork, bread dumplings and stewed cabbage), and svíčková (beef, cream vegetable sauce and bread dumplings) alongside a plethora of schnitzel and wiener sausages widely adopted as national dishes. With bellies suitably stuffed and eyes happily feasted into a state of post-wedded bliss, retire in style by picking somewhere exceedingly special to stay amongst Praha’s city of pleasures…

The chic Inn Ox Lounge & Bar serves fine modern international cuisine and swanky cocktails, while the Lobby Café begs you to while away some time together over coffee and cake or a spot of lunch. Set in one of the oldest cognac cellars in Europe, The Vault Bar is brimming with fine wines, cognacs and liqueurs, providing the perfectly delectable endnote to your day. Escape for a stint of wellness and wonderfully self-indulgent downtime at the hotel’s heavenly spa, which features a steam room, sauna and stunning mosaic swimming pool complete with hydromassage tubs. Pamper your senses with something from their spa menu such as a lava stone massage, body scrub, signature facial, beauty ritual or couples massage, with yoga and individual personal trainer-led workout sessions also available. When slumber calls, you’ll continue to lavish in the hotel’s passion for finery, where Italian designer Maurizio Papiri’s creative vision is evident in every exquisite detail. Sculpted headboards, wooden floors, damask bedspreads, classic Italian furniture, marble bathrooms and high stucco ceilings all evoke an uber-relaxed and inspired mood as you commence married life in the most magical of settings.

RACHAEL AND CRAIG PHOTOGRAPHY: GRACE & MITCH

A MOMENT IN TIME

Rachael and Craig’s intimate wedding was packed with significance and meaning, as well as an epic playlist! “When we met on the first day of university, it was definitely one of those ‘I know I’ve just met you, but I feel like I’ve known you forever – where have you been?’ sort of moments,” says Rachael of her immediate spark with Craig. Their romance led to Craig proposing in Iceland, after the couple had been wild swimming in a hot spring, surrounded by snow. “Once we’d dried off, we hiked a little way up the mountain. I was taking a photo of the view and when I turned around he was on one knee!” says Rachael. Opting for the rustic-luxe charm of Trevenna, the couple planned an intimate wedding with nods to their Cornish and Scottish heritage. “Craig’s Manx-Scottish and chose to wear the Isle of Man’s blue dress tartan, so we generally kept to muted cool-toned colours of blues and greens,” explains Rachael of the shades they chose, alongside ensuring the venue was “filled to the brim with flowers and foliage”. With a 4pm ceremony, Rachael and Craig revelled in every moment. “I think because it was such a short wedding, everything was really intentional and significant in the nicest way,” says Rachael, remembering sitting down to dinner after canapés and Pimm’s as one of her favourite moments. “A highlight was definitely when we sat down to eat, and people’s eyes weren’t on us for the first time. We were able to properly take in that we were married!” she says. “There was a moment between courses where Craig put his hand on mine and smiled, before we looked ahead to see everybody we loved in one room, laughing and caught up in conversation. They were all there for us, we were married and everything was perfect. We felt so loved and valued.” Feasting on the delicious likes of baked tomato and chilli avocado, roast chicken breast with all the trimmings, homity pie, and spicy cauliflower steak, the meal was rounded off with sticky toffee pudding, and vegan coconut and raspberry mousse. Memorable toasts and speeches gave way to a party, with evening munchies of pasties, garlic mushroom and thyme pinwheels, and a Cornish cheese board keeping guests’ energy levels up for some epic dance floor action. “I remember the barman telling us that our wedding was the first time they’d ever heard Frank Sinatra and Slipknot played side by side, which made us giggle, and summed us up pretty nicely!” laughs Rachael. “I think the best advice I received was ‘don’t be a stranger on your wedding day’. There is so much expected of couples, and so much pressure. If traditional expectations are not in line with your personal tastes, or you don’t feel comfortable, don’t feel obliged to do them,” says Rachael. “Trust your instincts – you won’t regret it! Oh, and remember to take a moment to be together alone!”

THE COLOUR OF LOVE

Mercedes and Ollie wowed their guests with showstopping florals and crowd-pleasing food in the dreamlike setting of Tredudwell Manor Mercedes and Ollie first met through a mutual friend on a night out, when they felt an instant connection. Their “perfect” engagement was meticulously planned by Ollie, and started with a meal out at The Stables restaurant in Newquay. “Little did I know that he had our family back at our house setting up my dream proposal,” reveals Mercedes. “We got home and he led me inside where there were candles lining a walkway in our living room leading to a sign that his sister had made that said ‘Will You Marry Me?’. He got down on one knee and gave me the most perfect ring while ‘Adieu’ by Enter Shikari was playing, which we went on to have as our first dance on our wedding night. Our families then came out from hiding in our bedroom!” Tredudwell Manor was the beautiful venue of choice for the pre-ceremony preparations and reception, where a colour scheme of burgundy and rose gold adorned the celebration space. The flowers were key to the look of the day: gorgeous arrangements carried the sumptuous palette across décor such as the table centrepieces, a flower arch, a flower wall and a striking LOVE sign. Mercedes and Ollie handcrafted much of the other décor themselves, from the stationery to the family photos. “Our table numbers had pictures of us from birth to our first school pictures and we had a picture hanger with photographs of all our families on their wedding days,” says Mercedes. “People then used the Polaroid camera to add pictures of the evening to this.” Extending the relaxed theme with the catering, the couple ensured a bounty of foodstuffs were available throughout, with platters of pizzas and pasties and an assortment of sides paired with Cornish Orchards cider. “We really enjoyed having more casual foods at our wedding rather than the traditional buffet or three-course meal; we found our guests really enjoyed this too,” explains Mercedes. And with an evening feast of sausage and bacon rolls alongside the three-tiered red velvet, salted caramel and fruit cake, guests’ appetites remained sated in style for the celebrations. “We both agree that our favourite moment was going out onto the clifftop to have pictures taken,” says Mercedes when asked to reflect upon her most standout memories. “Our photographer Joey made us feel so comfortable and it allowed us to take a step back and realise we had just got married!” Her top piece of planning advice for others is a simple one: “Lists, lists and more lists! We wrote everything down, every penny we spent, every vendor we used, timelines of things we had left to do, who was responsible for doing what. It really helped keep anxieties down and everyone on track!” She also highlights the importance of enjoying the engagement period and planning a day to suit yourselves. “Relax, enjoy the planning, and take it all in. Being engaged is amazing and it’s something that stops the second you get married, so don’t forget to enjoy this time too,” she says. “It is your day and you should do exactly what you want to do without stressing about pleasing other people too much.”

Beautiful flowers, sharing food and a bounty of entertainment were the hallmarks of Emma and Charlie’s sun-spilled day in St Agnes It was when Charlie and Emma relocated to the City of Love for work that they got engaged. “On our first weekend together in Paris, we went glamping in Normandy,” says Emma. “We were lying outside our bell tent one evening, looking up at the stars, talking about the adventures we had been on, and Charlie asked if I fancied another adventure… and asked me to marry him.” They planned their wedding with one prerequisite: to get married in Cornwall. “Charlie grew up there and we have so many happy memories of it,” explains Emma. “Our only venue criterion was that we wanted to see the sea. Our friends and family were coming from all over the country (and beyond!) and we wanted them to see the Cornwall we love. We found Newdowns Farm in St Agnes, which has a field with the most amazing coastal views, and we hired a beautiful sailcloth tent.” Keeping the décor simple meant that the setting became the focal point, with flowers chosen as the main decoration for their “romantic and relaxed” event, featuring an incredible floral arch that framed the sea views. Blush pink and dusky blue was the perfect colour pairing to reflect the setting and season, and was carried in much of the minutiae such as the groomsmen’s ties, Emma’s bow, and the blue/pink seashell patterned pocket squares handmade by Emma’s mum. Following a ceremony at nearby St Piran’s Church, Emma and Charlie travelled to Chapel Porth for photos. “When we arrived at the field, everyone was there enjoying the sun, playing games and chatting. Our band played an afternoon set and there was a very happy vibe,” reminisces Emma. Opting for a relaxed dining experience, guests tucked into sharing-style picnic hampers packed with mini pasties, cheese, chutneys, roasted ham, focaccia and salads. Ice cream was served in tubs with toppings including deconstructed cream tea, brownies, and fruit, while the evening continued to spoil guests with fish and chips. “Our first dance was ‘There Will Be Time’ by Mumford and Sons,” reveals Emma of one of her evening highlights. “We had practised in advance to make ourselves feel more comfortable and it was perfect! We got everyone onto the dance floor to finish the dance with us and then we just danced all night!” Cocktails, a sweetie table and a mass singalong to ‘Cornwall My Home’ completed the night’s entertainment. “Our wedding night accommodation was a wedding bell tent next to our marquee. It felt like the perfect end to the night as we were staying in one when we got engaged, and we had the extra bonus of waking up to the incredible view.” Looking back, Emma fondly picks out her favourite memory as “driving up to the marquee when the guests were all there, seeing all the planning come together into a beautiful, happy scene with the shimmering blue sea in the background”, before adding: “Then dancing with all our friends and family as the sun set over the sea, with everyone singing Cornish shanties on the stage at the end of the night.” As planning advice, Emma says: “Have a good spreadsheet, and if someone offers help, say yes! But most of all – take a step back and remember why you are doing this. Don’t worry about everything being ‘perfect’, just make it ‘you’.”

SHADES OF AUTUMN

Charlotte and Ben’s country wedding at Trenderway was as relaxed as it was beautiful “We had been together for seven years before Ben proposed. I had given up hope to be honest and never thought it would happen!” reveals Charlotte. “We had arranged to go away for our anniversary to Sharpham Vineyard and, after many glasses of wine, Ben proposed looking over the water. It was perfect as it was just the two of us and our lovely dog Piper.” The couple’s pre-requisites were simple: a relaxed event in a beautiful setting. “We knew we wanted something that would be easy and wouldn’t involve too much work,” explains Charlotte. “We wanted to be able to enjoy our day and not be stressed with everything – and also wanted a venue that was quite chilled and wouldn’t take things too seriously. Trenderway is just so beautiful and we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding.” Opting for an autumn wedding, the couple let the season inspire the look of their day, from the colour scheme to the décor, which included gorgeous floral arrangements by Charlotte’s mum. “My mum is amazing at flower arranging and I thought it was so special to have her do some of the arrangements for the day,” says Charlotte. The barn ceremony was a poignant and personal affair, where Charlotte’s niece Olivia walked down the aisle ahead of her. “My brother, Tom, did a reading from a children’s book, which was hilarious, and we also had Piper in the ceremony with us, which was lovely,” adds Charlotte. Drinks and canapés followed while the newly-weds headed off for photos, returning to a lip-smacking sharing-style feast. “We wanted it to be informal and food we would normally order from a menu,” says Charlotte of the rustic platters stacked with mini beef sliders and crostinis followed by mac and cheese, spatchcock chicken, and beef brisket, rounded off with red velvet cake and sticky toffee pudding. “I loved this time of the day as I watched people talking and enjoying themselves. I think one of my favourite moments was sitting at the top table in the reception looking at everyone having a lovely time, with Ben beside me,” she reminisces. The culinary delights continued with an evening of freshly cooked street food that included the groom’s special request of burgers, as well as loaded fries and made-to-order chocolate brownie tray bakes. “For our first dance song we chose ‘Islands in the Stream’. I really like ‘Gavin & Stacey’ and there is an episode where they line dance to this song. I had asked my maid of honour to set this up and she got a group of people to line dance behind us whilst we were dancing. I loved this – and also it took some of the attention away from us,” says Charlotte of another fond memory. “I would say ask for help,” she adds by wise word of advice. “Don’t feel you have to do everything yourself. Ben’s mum, my mum and sister-in-law were amazing and desperate to help out. And don’t stress over the little things. Remember what the day is for and why you are getting married. Also, make sure the day is what you both want and not what other people want it to be.”

MADE WITH LOVE

Abby and James poured their creativity into throwing a rustic and oh-so romantic wedding, filled with beautiful décor and selfpenned vows After meeting through school friends at the age of 16, romance blossomed for Abby and James, leading to a proposal on Abby’s 20th birthday. “He had planned to take me to Looe for the day and propose on the seafront, as Looe has always been a special place for me during my childhood,” explains Abby. “However, I didn’t want to drive all the way to Looe in the rain, so instead we took the dog out for a walk, and James got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. In all honesty it was perfect – just the two of us on our own and the biggest birthday surprise.” The Green was the perfect choice for their wedding venue with its rustic barns, beautiful views, open spaces as well as accommodation for friends and family. When it came to choosing a colour scheme, Abby’s hours spent poring over wedding magazines and Pinterest came to fruition when she settled on blush pink and burgundy, hiring a stylist to help bring her vision to life. “I loved the idea of long banquet-style tables with candles and runners as it is very different and I think more sociable for guests,” says Abby. “We also had a sweetheart table with just the two of us as it felt more special having our first dinner as husband and wife.” Abby walked down the aisle in an elegant dress by Made With Love with tulle wings – “It was an alternative to a veil – I was adamant that I did not want a veil but had to please my mum somehow... it was the perfect compromise!” – before one of her favourite moments from the day. “We decided to write our own unique vows. Everyone was balling their eyes out and it was just such a beautiful moment!” she says. The guests were then treated to a culinary extravaganza, with dishes including duck breast with port and blackberry sauce, supreme of chicken, and roasted cauliflower on smashed pesto with cannellini beans. Dessert was an “amazing” chocolate raspberry torte, St Clements posset with orange basil shortbread, and gooey chocolatey vegan brownie, as well as a stunning cake and Krispy Kreme doughnut tower! As the celebrations ran into the evening and the dance floor filled, Abby and James had the chance to take in the décor they had so meticulously planned. “I researched lots of different ways we could decorate the venue and make it really stand out. We decorated it and made all the decorations ourselves, deciding to fill the room with hanging balloon hoops as it was very unique,” says Abby. “I think that the little details made it all come together and look beautiful.” When she looks back at her favourite memories from the day, Abby is torn. “There were far too many!” she says. “The little moments with just the two of us were perfect but having all of our closest friends and family together was a blessing, it made the day so much more special being able to share it with all of our beautiful loved ones. We just couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding day!” And as for Abby’s top tips for others in the throes of wedding planning? “Don’t stress about the little things,” she says. “I am the biggest stress head, but actually looking back I would cherish planning it with James and not focus on making everything perfect by stressing about the little things that didn’t matter. It will work out perfectly in the end.”

GARDEN PARTY

Boconnoc Estate made a magnificent backdrop for Nadia and Alistair’s enchanting summer garden wedding After meeting through mutual friends on a night out and then dating for exactly seven years, Nadia and Alistair were on holiday in her home country of Portugal when Alistair proposed on the steps of St George’s Castle in Lisbon. “I was looking into the distance and then turned around to find him on one knee asking me to marry him in Portuguese,” says Nadia. “I quickly responded yes!” Deciding they would like an “outdoor garden summer wedding in the English countryside,” a friend from Cornwall suggested the county as a location. “We are both very decisive and short on time,” explains Nadia. “Without overthinking, we booked a couple of venues to see and drove down from London the next day. On the way back we visited Boconnoc Estate and right away knew we had to get married there!” Choosing flowers that reflected a “naturalistic, wild British overgrown garden” aesthetic, the soft toned colour palette included plenty of creamy whites in the bouquets to complement the bridesmaids’ fabulous red dresses. Roses featured heavily with added texture from larkspur and phlox, and finished with plantdyed silk ribbon. With their ceremony in the picturesque Dorothy Garden, the warm summer sun shone as Nadia walked down the aisle in a French lace dress by British designer Samuelle Couture. “Because the dress was very reserved with a high collar and longish sleeves, I opted to have no underlining and go a bit more risqué,” says Nadia, who completed her ensemble with a dramatic veil and blue stoned gold earrings that she chose with her parents, while Alistair donned a custom-made tuxedo with his initials and the wedding date embroidered on the inside pocket. “The ceremony was traditional in a sense but not religious. I felt absolutely calm and tranquil throughout, but also excited!” says Nadia, whose twin brothers acted as ring bearers. “My two brothers are a year younger than me and have learning difficulties, so since I knew they wouldn’t do a speech, I wanted them to be a part of the wedding ceremony,” she explains. After the ceremony, the newly-weds and their guests celebrated with drinks, canapés and games on the lawn, so everybody could soak up the setting and enjoy the beautiful grounds of Boconnoc. A reception in the Garden Room followed proceedings, with speeches and “a delicious feast!” including the likes of spiced roasted aubergine, Moroccan chargrilled butterflied chicken and lamb, and seared salmon fillet with a sumptuous array of sides. As the first dance – to Al Green’s ‘Let’s Stay Together’ – approached, Nadia and Alistair were prepared thanks to some dance lessons they’d taken “because neither of us can dance that well!” laughs Nadia. A live wedding band kept the dance floor full into the night, ending a day that Nadia describes as “the happiest day of my life. I still can’t believe this day, it was everything and more! And having my grandmother see me get married was a dream come true.” As for advice, the happy couple suggests putting your faith in the suppliers you’ve chosen. “We fully trusted our wedding planner Jenny’s suggestions and recommendations for our wedding, and without her our wedding wouldn’t have been the same,” they say. “We were confident and fully trusted that everyone we chose was perfect and allowed them to have full freedom of creativity.”

Game on. Games are always a winner, whether it’s a vintage coconut shy, welly wanging or even bucking surfboards! The more fun-filled the drinks reception is, the more relaxed the guests will become. Rebecca

Question time. Help break the ice with a table quiz, perhaps about you as a couple, which is bound to get everyone interacting. Jessica Read all about it. Make the order of service a must-read. I had friends who turned theirs into a newspaper, it was hilarious to read whilst waiting for them to arrive. Rebecca High flyers. Bring an element of fun and theatrics to your wedding by hiring circus performers, fire dancers or acrobatic dancers suspended 30ft in the air! Jessica Lookalike laughs. Imagine Captain Jack Sparrow or Marilyn Monroe clearing your glasses, or Simon Cowell getting on stage to rate the band. Lookalikes provide random but comedic moments that give guests something to talk about long after the big day. Rebecca Memory games. Pick a fun game you love, perhaps something you played on one of your first dates. Whether it’s a cricket match the day before your wedding or a mini-golf course at your reception, your guests will love sharing in a memory that means something to you both. Jessica Surprise, surprise! Wow guests with a flash mob. Dancers could even dress as staff members to blend in during the day before their performance at the opportune moment. Jenny

Keep rolling. Bartenders on rollerblades bring the fun factor in spades – they can also serve pretty quickly and get the party started on the dance floor if you ask them. Rebecca

All the world’s a stage. Make readings personal – and this can include being funny. I had one groom write an ode to them as a couple, which was touching but hilarious at the same time. Rebecca Get moving. Book a ceilidh band with a caller who gets everyone up and shows them the steps. Jessica Floor fillers. Officially open the dance floor with a roller show, drag show, or the latest hip-hop track performed by dancers – all fun ways of easing guests onto the floor. Rebecca Sign here, please. Make your guestbook mean something to you. I’ve seen everything from an historic scroll (for a castle wedding) to a Polaroid guest book – both great fun for your guests, and something you will actually look at in years to come! Jessica Let me entertain you. Mini workshops make a fun activity during the drinks reception; think flower crowns, terrariums, or a cocktail-making session. Rebecca Service with a song. Singing waiters can really warm everyone up for the evening celebrations, while ensuring there’s a great atmosphere throughout the meal. Jessica Be a rock star. I love a Marryoke video. It’s hilarious watching guests trying to sing their given lines whilst rocking out to a pretend track and the end result is always amusing to look back on. Rebecca Journey ’s end. If you have two different locations then consider how guests can travel between them. What about a vintage bus? Land train? Tractor? Or get everyone to follow the bride as she leads them through the fields to the reception.
