BEST OF BOTH WORLDS Are you dreaming of a rustic wedding set amidst idyllic countryside or a coastal celebration on the edge of the ocean? At Launcells Barton, a stunning venue near Bude, you can have the best of both worlds, thanks to its rural location with grounds boasting dramatic views across the Atlantic.

Whether you have visions of large-scale celebrations or something more intimate, the exclusive use venue offers a beautiful blank canvas backdrop to bring dreams to life.

Cradled by lush wooded countryside, an elegant manor house of two halves, dating from the 14th and 17th century, lies at the heart of the venue; flooded with natural light and beautifully appointed with antique furnishings and sumptuous bathrooms, the stylish accommodation includes an opulent bridal suite and a further five luxurious bedrooms.

A veritable wedding village, Launcells Barton is a brilliantly versatile venue thanks to its choice of spaces for ceremonies and receptions. The arbour, set amidst a walled garden, offers a scenic backdrop for outdoor ceremonies, while the 19th century stone Mill Barn, which is licensed for civil ceremonies and accommodates 160 seated guests, is another character-filled option. There’s also a purpose-built reception barn that accommodates up to 200 guests. For smaller weddings or elopements, the scenic spot has gorgeous little nooks dotted around the grounds, and for an intimate indoor gathering, the sitting room is perfect for up to 20 guests.

Boasting a flexible and fully bespoke service, Launcells Barton also offers on-the-day coordination, leaving you to soak up the celebrations – and the dreamy scenery – come the big day. Get in touch quick to snap up one of the remaining summer 2020 dates! launcellsbarton.co.uk wedmagazine.co.uk

JEWEL PURPOSE Based in the artistic haven of St Ives, Stephanie Stevens is passionate about crafting jewellery enriched with meaning, relishing her role in offering couples the opportunity to be part of the design process of their engagement and wedding rings.

“It’s wonderful to give people an unforgettable experience, creating rings that represent their relationship and knowing these quality pieces will last and perhaps even be handed down as heirlooms,” she says.

Acting as your personal jeweller to help design and make everything from your wedding rings to earrings, necklaces and bracelets for you, your bridal party or as covetable gifts, Stephanie’s dazzlingly distinctive designs can be tailored entirely to your vision. Offering curved bands to fit perfectly around engagement rings, a choice of precious metals and finishes, and brilliantly personal engravings enshrining your wedding date, names, meaningful words or fingerprints, every element can be customised to create a stunning and symbolic piece to forever serve as a reminder of your love.

Alternatively, pieces from her gorgeous collections can be purchased from her online shop – think dainty flower rings, freshwater pearl necklaces and heart bangles – for a delicate bridal accessory with a Cornish twist. stephaniestevensjewellery.co.uk

West Cornwall will soon be home to a brand new wedding venue – and it couldn’t be more breathtaking. Flanked by a patchwork of fields and idyllic woodland, Stennack Farm’s off-

the-beaten-track location – just a short distance from St Ives and Godrevy – is just one of the new venue’s charms.

Comprising a family-run working farm and cluster of luxury barn conversions, a cow barn is currently being transformed into an exclusive wedding venue for luxe country weddings with up to 120 guests in attendance, or marquee receptions can take place on the lawn for as many as 200. Perfectly positioned to take in the rolling Cornish countryside, the rustic venue will make a veritable blank canvas for couples to pour their personalities into their celebrations. What’s more, there’s plentiful accommodation for the wedding party to stay on-site, complete with snug beds, hot tubs and al fresco dining.

With enchanting rural views, a series of charming backdrops and complete privacy, you can look forward to the personality-packed festivities of your dreams in this tucked-away gem of a venue. You can also make the most of an incredible 20% off for 2020 dates - but get in quick!

WEDDING SUPERSTITION It is thought to be good luck for a bride to cry on her wedding day because it symbolises that she has shed all her tears and will not have any to shed during her marriage. Just remember the waterproof mascara, ladies!

YOU, ME AND THE SEA Lusty Glaze presents couples with a sublime sand-between-the-toes experience at the most coveted of beach locations. What’s more, while still celebrating being crowned the UK’s Best Coastal Wedding Venue in the 2019 UK Wedding Awards, the venue has been granted a licence for beyond-beautiful beach hut elopement ceremonies (#elopetolusty) for couples dreaming of a more intimate waterside wedding. Taking place in their pretty blue beach huts, a Beach Hut Elopement can be booked at any time of day, so whether you wish for a backdrop of bright aquamarine seascapes or a spellbinding golden sunset, the two of you (and your witnesses) can relish an elopement from around £995, including the ceremony and a bottle of bubbly to toast.

“We just wanted to add more options for those who dream of a beach wedding,” explains wedding coordinator Naomi. “Uninterrupted seascapes, fiery sunsets and dramatic cliffs make our little cove one of the most romantic places on Earth, so surely there’s nowhere more perfect to start married life?”

Tailoring their weddings to each couple, the dedicated team will pull out all the stops to ensure that every element of your wedding is as unforgettable as the venue itself. “Lusty Glaze is a truly unique wedding venue and we really put our hearts and souls into creating the perfect day every time,” says Naomi. lustyglaze.co.uk Photography Debs Alexander Photography / Make-up Penny Pascoe / Flowers Blossom & Kelp / Dreamcatchers With a Gypsy Soul

BEAUTY IN FOCUS Getting married is one of life’s most pivotal chapters: a time to focus on the person you’ve become and the future that awaits you. Boudoir photography is a perfect way of capturing your beauty at this momentous time in your life – and celebrating who you are.

Photographer Hannah Wilde has launched her bridal boudoir service in which brides-to-be can indulge in a pampering experience with professional make-up artist Hannah Symons, before they embrace their sensuality and femininity before the lens. Adept at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, Hannah will capture you at your most beautiful. With a style akin to designer lingerie brands, you can look forward to a set of elegant, artistic and stunning images for you to treasure forever, or perhaps gift to your groom. What’s more, a huge confidence boost is often a beautiful bonus of a boudoir shoot – perfectly timed for you to face the camera on your wedding day! hannah-wilde.com

TAKE THE PLUNGE The V-neckline is making high fashion waves on the catwalks. From the décolletage to deeper, naval-gazing cuts, plunging necks are being contemporised with scalloped trims, sheer cutouts, draperies, lace and embellished bodices.

Suited to all styles, whether you wish to rock fairytale with a voluminous skirt and cascading train paired with a plunge; channel regal glamour with long sleeves, a cape and a daring low neckline, or rev up the wow factor of an ornate metallic or coloured gown with a plunge, it is the neckline to pursue.

GLAM FIT Fit and flare is all the rage for a reason. Accentuating the female hourglass form, it oozes sensuality and romance, while suiting all settings and styles of wedding.

From trumpet mermaids with tiered tulle trains to fluted petalstrewn skirts and fishtail backs leading into chapel-length trains, the silhouette can be as simple or

striking as you desire.

DO THE SPLIT For something more seductive with a hint of old school glamour, opt for a thigh split, which is fast becoming one of bridal fashion’s leading – not to mention sexiest – features.

It works fabulously with all fabrics to allow a daring flash of leg (and killer heels!), while selecting a skirt with a detailed godet incorporates extra interest and volume, and

THE FEATURE

MAKE THE CUT From demure to outright sexy, a skin-baring cut-out or two is a contemporary, daring and beguiling way to rock your frock. Side cut-outs can help cinch in the waist toward a deep plunging neckline, while V-shaped back cuts draw the eye down to the back of your waist, where you can add a bow, back necklace or lace inserts.

For a sweet take on the trend, a heart cut-out back or illusion/sheer cut-outs achieve the look with less exposure, allowing you to customise your gown with a cute, retro-inspired accent.

LOVE IN BLOOM

Fresh-from-a-fairytale ballgowns, body-skimming silhouettes with wow-worthy trains, the dreamiest confections of lace and tulle... Magnolias, the new and exclusive private label at The Bridal Studio in Helston, offers a gorgeous collection of gowns for brides seeking everything from classic elegance to whimsical W-day chic.

“The word ‘Magnolias’ is an anagram of my children’s names as well as my late mum’s favourite flower, so it was the perfect name!” explains the boutique’s owner, Tara Trethowan. “The dresses are already proving to be so popular.”

Showcasing classic designs with modern adaptations and embellishments, one of the draws of the collection is its versatility.

“The dresses allow for some small design changes, such as longer trains or split sizing so that brides can order the top and bottom in different sizes,” says Tara. “They’re also available in different colour options to allow brides to choose champagne and ivory, for example, rather than purely ivory.”

The lace detail on many of the designs enhances beautiful parts of the gown, from a high neck to an off-the-shoulder cut or a sweetheart neckline. Full skirts bring the ultimate in showstopping silhouettes, while the sheath cut of one of the gowns is enhanced with a stunning train. Whether you go bold with statement accessories, from oversized flower crowns to long trailing veils, or keep it simple and elegantly chic, these silhouettes can be easily styled for a beautifully individual wedding day look.

From twinkling tiaras to centre-of-attention shoes and bridal jackets to make a superstar weep, here are some of our favourite finishing touches currently causing a stir on the wedding scene.

Head girl Headpieces can range from delicate diamond headbands to oversized silk flowers and elaborate gold leaf crowns. A favourite with brides for their versatility, hair vines can be wound through an updo for a supersparkling, elegant feel, worn as a bridal halo or woven into a plait to give a gorgeous glimmer to your bridal hairstyle. Forehead bands are equally as stylish and can make a perfect style statement for boho brides, worn over long loose curls. For a super sultry look, lace cat ear headbands have been seen on the bridal catwalks and are certainly

words Elizabeth Chester

Makes scents OK, so technically this isn’t an accessory but if your whole wedding look is superclean and fuss-free and it’s just going to be you, a shift dress and some slip-ons on the big day, how about wowing your guests’ senses with the most amazing scent?

Create your own wedding perfume either alone, with your partner or as part of your hen do. A perfume-making masterclass will help you to find just the right notes to create a bespoke bridal aroma that will always remind you of your one true love, and your wedding day.

Arm candy Detachable sleeves are a clever way to update a simple design particularly if it’s strapless. From off-the-shoulder to cap sleeves and even crystal beaded net sleeves, they’re a perfect way to modernise a modest style. Delicate lace capes and light-as-a-feather lace-edged boleros offer a similarly chic and subtle cover-up for arms but still offer wow-factor results.

Best foot forward With a simple, elegant dress, why not wow with some seriously chic footwear? We adore heels like the Wifey for Lifey whimsical shoes

by Sophia Webster – plus, her bridal designs are all inscribed with her signature Wifey for Lifey logo on the soles, too. Also look out for her butterfly wings heels for an ethereal, dreamlike aisle elegance. Shoe clips are another simple way to jazz up your heels using bows, hearts or oversized pom-poms in a range of vibrant colours and interesting textures.

Flash back If you’ve gone for a backless dress design and kept the rest super simple, how about a show-stopping backdrop necklace that, unlike a traditional necklace, sits around the neck but then drops down the back. Rose gold and pearls are very elegant combinations and look exquisite on all skin tones. A beautiful backdrop necklace will also add extra wow as your guests will see the jewels sparkling as you walk down the aisle.

We love the glamour and flamboyance of an ostrich feather bridal jacket, which can create a delicate feel teamed with a silk or similarly luxe dress fabric. Or a less extravagant look but equally big on drama is a faux fur-

Veil force For a royally gorgeous look, there’s one way to veil: cathedral length. Adorned with tiny petals that cascade to the floor, it’s a look that steals our heart every time.

Whatever your veil length, wear the blusher (the part that covers your face so your groom can lift it at the right moment) long over your face for added drama and elegance. Choose a coloured veil for extra pizzazz, and remember that metres of tumbling tulle also allows for extra wow in your photographs where you can both be captured wrapped up within a billowing envelope of romance.

Wrist watch Bridal wrist corsages can be made from fresh or faux flowers. Imagine the scent as you embrace your guests with a fresh-flower corsage delicately placed on your arm? Speak to your florist about creating something truly stunning, incorporating your wedding day flowers or colour scheme. You can go big with your blooms – think peonies – or choose a corsage in a rainbow of colours that will pop against a simple dress design. Unique ideas also include corsages made from succulents, great for adding texture to a soft, simple look, or choosing to wear two corsages: one on each wrist.

A soft-pink peony corsage is one of the simplest yet prettiest we’ve seen, while adding ribbons and even keepsakes like small photographs of loved ones can personalise your corsage.

POP GOES THE QUESTION

You’re engaged, congratulations! It’s a wonderful feeling to be in the first flushes of an engagement, and you’ll probably be wanting to shout it from the rooftops. Here are some fun (and slightly less dangerous!) ideas for spreading the word to your friends and family…

Two become one If you’d love to announce your news to your loved ones face to face, why not book in a birthday/ Christmas/ Easter/ Halloween celebration – with a twist! Organise a party for whatever celebration you like, and something that fits in with the time of year, and gather everyone together in style. Only when everyone is enjoying your Easter hunt/ toffee apples/ mince pies, you can pop the bubbly, shout “surprise!,” show off that sparkler and turn your do into an official engagement party.

Snap decision Photographs can be the most creative ways to announce your news. From selfies and close-ups of your ring to bunting spelling out your news or a simple ring box placed at your favourite location, there are so many ways to snap your moment.

Recipients will love the feeling of intimacy and sharing the raw emotion of the big moment with you. A secret engagement shoot is also a lovely and more formal way to announce your news. Sneak off for a day with a professional photographer and then organise an evening where you display the pictures at home or project them on to a big screen for all to see.

Put it in the post Engagement cards can act as save-the-dates too.

Create an engagement card that suits you as a couple and let your guests receive your news, and wedding date, all together when it lands on their door mat. You can personalise cards with sketches of you both, or a cute idea we love is to loosely tie a

serious or silly, or you can get creative with dressing up as your favourite characters from love stories of films. Recreating the moment you or your partner popped the question could work well too or how about devising a ring hunt with clues that your video viewers can watch and try to solve?

Got the T-shirt Arrange a quiet drink with your best friends and turn up in the most fabulous outfit, which just so happens to have your new status emblazoned on the front. We love ‘Mrs-to-be’, ‘Fiancée’, ‘I said yes’ or just a simple picture of a solitaire ring. See who’s paying attention and notices your sartorial secret first and then let the celebrations commence.

Breaking news While a text or email is the instant way to update your besties, add some humour too to make your message really stand out. How about having fun with the heading in an email, texting a silly rhyme or pressing send on a witty GIF to deliver your news… or just subtly showing off your sparkler with a shot of you both hand in hand?

In a bubble Balloons that spell out E.N.G.A.G.E.D can be attached to gate posts, fences or front doors, so invite friends and family over for a garden party and watch their faces as they read your news as they are walking up the drive. Similarly you can chalk your news onto driveways or front steps to really make a statement to your guests – and the whole neighbourhood!

Read all about it This may seem frightfully old-fashioned in the technoinstant world we live in, but hey, weddings are steeped in tradition, so why not put an announcement in the local or national paper – whichever you know your family read. Or if they don’t, just take a copy to them on the day you know it will be printed. Wait for squeals of excitement when they realise the romantic announcement they are reading about relates to you!

Sweet surprise If you want to let your work colleagues know your exciting news but don’t want it to filter through the ranks via the water cooler, what sweeter way to break the news than with homemade biscuits iced with ‘yes’ or ‘bride-to-be’. Simply take them in to the office for Friday afternoons. Admittedly this is a low-key, alcoholfree celebration – you will be at work after all – but hopefully the boss will suggest this should be followed

WORKING THE GROOM Style tips for the man of the moment words Hannah May, Lucy Higgins & Rebecca Matthews Nicki Shea Photography

NEED FOR TWEED Tweed is stealing the sartorial spotlight in grooms’ fashion right now – and it’s not difficult to see why. A British classic, the textured fabric smacks of timeless style while enabling the man of the moment to personalise the look for individual panache.

Pair your pattern of choice, whether it’s herringbone, houndstooth or check, with an en vogue shade such as blue, grey, or earth tones like tan, olive and brown – et voilà: a swoon-worthy ensemble is all yours.

Alternatively, don a tweed jacket (go subtle with muted charcoal or statement with brights), or simply nod to the trend via those all-important accessories such as a tweed tie, pocket square or bow tie, which also provide the perfect way to colour and customise to boot!

RED ALERT

1.

Whether it’s bright and bold or scarlet and stylish, expect to see lots more red popping up at weddings, particularly during the winter months. A classic colour that evokes a sense of tradition and prestige – not to mention romance – the opulent shade is perfect for tying in with richly coloured bridesmaids’ dresses, flowers or even your bride-to-be’s lip colour. Make a bold statement by rocking red from head to toe or, for a nod to the hue, don a block colour pocket square or tie, or perhaps a flourish of red florals or check. If you want to steer away from bold pillar-box red, opt for a wine or burgundy shade, which will look super-stylish with a foliage-based buttonhole.

Trevenna makes a captivating backdrop for the rich colours of autumn, where homegrown flowers and locally cast jewels evoke the romance of eternal love photography Laura Buffery words Lucy Higgins

wedmagazine.co.uk

FOREVER AUTUMN

“Eternal love is one of the most powerful and strongest things known to anyone or anything. It can never wither or die and continues to renew with the passing of the seasons,” says Marina Law, floral designer at Artem Florum.

Nestled amidst 142 acres of wildly beautiful Cornish countryside, Trevenna is the canvas for this sumptuous celebration of love, underpinned by the colours and textures of autumn.

“There is something quite beautiful and magical about autumn – the colours, the sounds, the smells – a delight for all the senses,” says Marina. Rich in dazzling colour, scent and texture, the wild and local flowers of Trevenna take centre stage.

The theme of eternal love is symbolised most dramatically in the floral moongate, woven with amaranths, a striking tassel-like flower grown at Trevenna. Lush foliage of foraged ivy, rosemary and coral fern add texture, while blooms of eustoma, wax flowers and peach hypericum berries complete the stunning focal point.

“The choice of flowers had links to devotion and long lasting bonds such as the eustoma. The word amaranth comes from the Greek language and translates as ‘unfading’,” explains Marina. “These therefore make the perfect combination of flowers for this truly ‘everlasting’ theme.” The hanging hoop of foliage and cascading amaranths above the top table is a further nod to this symbolism.

The shades and flavours of autumn pervade throughout, from the blackberry scabious scoop adorning the semi-naked cake through to the plantable stationery made with air-dried seed paper and embedded with a meadow mix of native grass and wild flower seeds.

Then there’s the hearty dishes from Trevenna’s farm kitchen, the menu brimming with seasonal fare such as a trio board of garden beetroot hummus, butternut squash and pumpkin soup; slow-roasted Cornish pork loin; and an autumn roulade of rolled meringue, blackberries and fresh Cornish cream. The attention to detail extends to Trevenna’s handmade chocolates finished with an autumn shimmer. The cocktails are also bursting with seasonal and locally sourced flavours: think Cornish Autumn Apple Martini, a hedgerow cider-based Kiss of Autumn, and a Cornish Cooler.

The dress takes the seasonal look further, with a bodice of sage green taffeta paired with a layered organza full skirt, while the delicate bespoke jewellery, cast from the Cornish surroundings, echoes the ‘eternal love’ theme with a circular motif and dainty ruby beads.

The bride’s updo is the perfect finishing touch. “The beautiful flower display and the green of the dress reminded me of an autumn modern fairytale wedding,” says hairstylist Emma Carlyle, who, inspired by this aesthetic, created a fishtail braid to add detail along the side and an up but down style at the back. “I finished it off with some flowers to combine the whole look of the shoot together.”

With the romance heightened by the crisp autumnal air and the warming crackle of the fire, it is a soul-stirring scene for a celebration of true love.

A FINE ROMANCE

Tucked away in a secluded corner of Cornwall amidst 30 acres of breathtaking woodland gardens filled with camellias, rhododendrons, magnolias and hydrangeas, Burncoose House evokes the romance of the Georgian era. Its classic architecture, from the lofty ceilings and light-filled windows to the grand staircase, made it the perfect setting for this elegant styled shoot.

“Inspiration has come from Jane Austen’s romantic novel, ‘Pride and Prejudice’, as well as using old world décor to give a truly authentic feel,” explains Janna Wraight from Wild and Free Photography.

Inspired by the lush forest greenery surrounding the venue, a striking green carries throughout the shoot, while gold accents evoke a sense of prosperity and grandeur. The cake captures this mood beautifully, its detailed sugar work and sumptuous colours reflecting the opulence of Jane Austen’s era. The stationery suite echoes the rich hues and careful attention to detail: adorned with beautiful illustrations of Burncoose House, antlers and green leaves, the pieces are finished with gold foiling and luxurious embellishments, including velvet ribbon, a gold wax seal and a green tassel.

Bringing the outside in, the dining room is dressed with foliage, draped green velvet and delicate blooms for a simple yet sophisticated aesthetic, the ornate gold candleholders, charger plates, cutlery and gold rimmed glasses glinting in the candlelight.

The bride, meanwhile, blends vintage-inspired make-up and an intricately plaited updo with an exquisite embellished gown for her daytime look. Her second look is soft and romantic, her loose curls adorned with a pearl hairpiece to echo the whimsical style of her dress. Arriving in true Mr Darcy style on a striking black horse, the groom wears a fitted tweed suit, a classic yet fashion-forward look that reflects the country house setting.

“The gardens were looking their best with a magnificent display of camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias,” says Janna. “The couple were fully immersed in nature within the mature woodlands that surround Burncoose House.”

CHIC SEATING When it comes to seating plans, why not forgo tradition and plunge straight in with an innovative approach to seating? Let your guests relax, wind down, celebrate and not have to worry about where they are sitting with a version of a seating plan where each table number is attached to a drink. Hang cute escort cards to the rim or stem of your guests’ champagne flutes, which tells each guest their table number. Ensure the flutes are ready to be served once your guests arrive at the reception and all they have to do is sip their drinks and clock their table number attached to their glass. Simple! And this way, there won’t be a mad scramble to find the seating plan, which means there’ll

PAINT A SCENE We all know that there will be no shortage of camera phones to capture your every move on the big day, as well as an official photographer to snap you looking your beautiful best, but here’s an idea. In addition to the paparazzi-style clicking that will be taking place, how about hiring a wedding day painter to capture some memorable scenes from your reception and committing them to watercolour, sketch or canvas for you to cherish forever?

Your guests can watch your artist create a work of art that comes to life in front of their eyes, and it will be a stunning memento that can be presented to you before the night has even finished.

DROP EVERYTHING Balloon drops are a spectacular, fun and gentle way to get the party started. Much like giant confetti, balloons can be themed to match your venue or colour scheme.

Coming in all shapes and sizes, think heart-shaped, giant balloons or ones printed with your new names.

Plus, you can even find balloons within balloons that explode to release even more balloons! Take into account the height of the room before you get too excited though – to drop any considerable number of balloons, you’ll need a lofty space.

TAKE THE BISCUIT Personalised mementos never fail to make people feel special and achieve the aww factor – especially ones you can eat, such as biscuits. Create favours featuring your guests’ names and use them as place settings too. Some creative cookie companies can even design biscuits based on what each guest looks like – though this might be easier for a bijou do!

GET CREATIVE Ask your guests to contribute towards a giant work of art! Either commission an artist or ask a very reliable and sober friend to take control, and allow your guests to come up with a piece of art that has been made by your entire wedding party. All you’ll need is a blank canvas and then let your guests each spray, glitter or paint their ideas on to it. We probably don’t need to tell you that, although this will result in a Mark Shaw

wow factor one-of-a-kind piece, the logistics of this mean it’s very high on the mess-o-meter, so plan carefully.

Use them as centrepieces for a dazzling look at an evening wedding breakfast, line pathways with them or simply hold them for some seriously magical starlit photographs. A garden filled with bundles of helium-filled twinkling orbs all dancing in the night sky will make an impressive (and quieter) alternative to fireworks, and has to be one way to finish with a visual bang.

You could surround the bottom layer of your cake with an oversized floral wreath, or smaller cakes can be hidden inside antique bird cages. You could even talk to your venue about the possibility of suspending your cake on a hanging shelf.

Or how about asking your cake maker to create a tower of cakes or individual scaled-down versions of your larger cake so each guest can help themselves to a mini version of your main cake?

SITTING PRETTY A Thing Like That

The Artful Event Company

Ahhh, the seating plan. The stuff of late-night cold sweats and dreaded Post-it note Tetris. How will you sit people? Who will get on with who (and worse – who won’t get on with who?)?

What about your Auntie Edie who’s not talking to your cousin James who’s got a new girlfriend who just happens to be best man Tony’s ex… and don’t even think about throwing kids into the mix. OK, we might be exaggerating, but when it comes to seating plans, just take a deep breath, and take the advice of our wedding planning experts, Jessica from Ardour & Bow (ardourandbow.co.uk) , Rebecca from The Unique Cornish Event Company (theuniquecornishevent.co.uk) and Jenny from Jenny Wren Weddings & Events (jennywrenweddingsandevents.co.uk).

The first thing to bear in mind is that you don’t necessarily have to have a seating plan. It all depends on the style of wedding and catering you’ve chosen. If it’s all getting too stressful and you’re aiming for a relaxed, rustic vibe, perhaps with a barbecue, big pan, sharing platters or picnicstyle feast, then a more free-flowing seating arrangement works well.

However, if you’ve opted for a more formal sit-down wedding breakfast or have a lot of guests, then a seating plan comes highly recommended to help with the organisation and flow of the day.

“Even if you don’t like the formality of one, not having a seating plan can result in couples or families not being able to sit together, as there may be single chairs left at tables,” warns Jenny. Meals tend to take around two hours at weddings, so it’s important you’ve got this part of

your day sorted.

“Seating plans are also very helpful in introducing friends to like-minded guests, ensuring your closest friends and family are near to the top table, and avoiding any confusion or awkward moments if guests come in later and might have to split up to find spare seats!” says Jessica.

“Plus, a seating plan will assist the caterers in knowing where any guests with dietary requirements or allergies are going to be,” says Rebecca.

The table debate So let’s say a seating plan is required. Here’s where some decisions need to be made regarding the type of tables, how many guests you sit at each and the configurations. You’ll be guided in part by the layout of your wedding venue, and the first thing to do is to get a floor plan from your venue or marquee supplier. Determine how much space you have, and bear in mind that round tables tend to allow you to have more people and offer a more formal dining experience than banquetstyle trestle tables.

“I think there’s a misconception that round tables work better as you Emma Stoner

can talk to more people, but I actually think trestle tables are better for this,” says Jenny. “With a round table of 10 people you are quite far from the guests opposite you, whereas with a trestle table you can easily chat to the people either side of you and the three opposite you.”

Jenny Wren Weddings & Events

Think about what you want to achieve and whether you’re hoping to create an intimate mood or a lively atmosphere. “Consider the type of food service you’ve chosen – be mindful if you are going to have lots of dishes served at the table,” says Jessica. “Work out how many people can comfortably sit at each table of your chosen style, and make sure you allow enough space between tables for food service to weave around the room,” she adds.

While the layout of the room will determine what will work best, think about the impact of your chosen tables on the styling and flower options. “Tall centrepieces work best on rounds, low down trailing garlands work best on trestles,” says Jenny. “One of my couples is Liberty Pearl

mixing it up and having a combination of both tables, to allow for different styles of floral arrangements (although still in the same tones) to add interest.”

So you’ve chosen what type of tables you want and how they’ll

Who goes where? be set up – now you have to decide who will be seated where.

“I’m keen on using the help of technology when planning, and if you haven’t enlisted the help of a wedding planner then there are online systems that can help you create a seating plan, such as toptableplanner.com, or allseated.com,” says Jessica.

“Start with the top table – who are you going to have sitting next to you?” she continues. “Is it just your immediate family, or will it be a mix of family and friends? If you are having a maid of honour and a best man then they would traditionally be placed at the top table as well, along with parents. Next, have a look at the tables nearest to you and allocate your closest friends and family to those tables, so they are close to the action. When allocating seating, you might also like to consider where each person will be sitting in relation to their view of the top table – it’s always nice to ensure that, for

Jenny Wren Weddings & Events

Alexa Poppe

example, your grandparents have a direct view of you both.”

If you don’t want the traditional set up of parents on the top table then create two tables next to the top table with each set of parents, suggests Rebecca.

“It’s become more popular now to have close friends and bridesmaids and best men on the top table, with parents hosting their own tables with family or their friends,” she says.

“This also allows you to solve any problems if parents are no longer together.”

Alternatively, you could opt for a romantic ‘sweetheart’ table for just the two of you, avoiding the need to have the traditional top table format. “That way you don’t have to make any decisions about who else will be sitting with you, and it gives you some precious time for just the two of you to chat!” says Jenny.

Nick Walker

Jenny Wren Weddings & Events

“Don’t feel that you have to keep to prescribed layouts – be creative and challenge the conventional norms,” says Jessica. “At a recent wedding the bride decided she wanted to have the top table in the middle of the room; it worked perfectly and enabled everyone to have a great view of the wedding party, and ensured that the couple were surrounded by all their friends and family.”

And what about keeping groups together, or mixing guests up?

Of course, it’s down to personal choice – mixing up groups will ensure people get to know each other, but keeping everyone in groups that they know allows them to relax rather than worry about making small talk.

Special guests As well as figuring out who’s sitting where, with whom, and how it’s all going to work, there might be one or two other guests to consider.

The Artful Event Company

“Think about particular guests’ requirements: maybe one of your guests will be using a wheelchair, so consider the access to the table,” reminds Jessica. “And if you are having dancing in the same room, you might also like to place any guests that might be affected by the loud music slightly further away.”

If you’re having children at your wedding, next comes the conundrum of whether to sit them all at one table and, if so, whether to seat any adults with them. “I think any child younger Ashley Hampson

than around seven needs to be kept near their parents,” says Rebecca. “Older children should be OK to sit at a table with other children, so long as you have given them things to do and you don’t mind a little noise during the speeches.”

And, as Jessica points out, the kids won’t be sitting at the table for long! “I’ve seen plenty of weddings where the kids only sit at the table for as long as the food service, and then they like to get up and moving,” she table is a good idea, provided there are gifts or games

HELLO, PETAL Down by the River Florals

Wedding world is in the throes of a floral crush.

From bridal fashions to décor, flowers are stealing the spotlight as couples use them in a myriad of ways to infuse personality into their day: think wow-worthy installations, colourful accessories and tabletops adorned with the latest eyecatching looks.

With so much inspiration, it can be hard to know where to begin with planning your wedding flowers.

We’ve asked the professionals to forecast the trends and reveal their favourite looks to help you style your wedding with bloom-filled brilliance.

Seasonal blooms Lisa Marie Grigsby

“Throughout my career I’ve always advocated the use of seasonal flowers, so to me it’s a given, not a trend,” says Simon Nickell (simonnickelldesign.com) of a perennial floral look, which is a key consideration for modern couples. “Using seasonal flowers will always be more cost-effective, and it’s the perfect way to reflect

Down by the River Florals

the time of year of your wedding.”

So what is in season, and when? “Tulips, narcissi and blossom in spring; roses, peonies and hydrangeas in summer; chrysanthemums, gladioli and lush berries in autumn; anemones, hellebores and amaryllis in winter… Every season has its own beauty, so go with the flow!” he suggests of the wonders of sourcing your blooms seasonally to give a beautiful and eco-friendly nod to your wedding date.

Fancy foliage Foliage - and lots of it - is hugely popular, as couples seek to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces, whatever the venue and time of year.

Lisa Marie Grigsby

“I recently did a wedding that was foliage-only suspended designs, which I absolutely loved,” reveals Emma Hewlett (emmahewlett.co.uk). “In a marquee set within a private garden, it was great to blend the marquee décor with the external surroundings. Foliage

Simon Nickell Design

is just so bright and fresh in a cream marquee.”

Lisa Grigsby from Down by the River Florals (downbytheriverflorals.co.uk) agrees. “I am a huge fan of foliage-only installations, which I’ve found work really well if you use one type of foliage as a core influence throughout the wedding, and add other elements of foliage in lighter or darker tones to highlight certain arrangements.”

She suggests ruscus garlands for sweeping staircases, with cinerea and gunni eucalyptus in bluish hues to bring together larger installations. “I love the way that foliage on its own can create such a lovely feeling of bringing the outside in for a very natural and relaxing atmosphere,” she says.

Gorgeous grasses “With all the present and forthcoming trends in wedding flowers, I love the use of dried flowers and grasses – beautiful, textural, organic-shaped and British,” enthuses Helen from The Velvet Daisy (thevelvetdaisy.co.uk). “Pampas grass, interesting branches and colour produce a wonderful frame for

that, whilst drying, the textures, colours and shape can

the delights of smaller grasses and dried flowers. I love change so much. It’s as though a completely new flower is being produced,” she observes.

“I slowly dry my English hydrangea and globe artichokes each year in time for Christmas wreaths. I get so excited watching the developing colours as weeks go by, knowing that each dried flower will create something quite unique,” she says of the process, which creates a bespoke palette for each wedding scene.

“When it comes to decorative accents for your floral arrangements, bold plumes of pampas grass are very on-trend,” says Simon.

“Pinterest and Instagram are great sources of inspiration for these grasses, loved for their softness, scale and their ability to make a statement. Paired with similarly popular ornamental grasses, they are the current must-have look. And as for ferns, I think they’re hard to beat!” he adds. “I’ve always loved their delicate

fronds, their different textures and many varieties. I’m

delighted they’re becoming more popular, both for bouquets and arrangements.”

Think sustainable As more couples opt for greener weddings in more ways than one, so the floristry naturally follows.

“Sustainability is now a major trend in wedding floristry, and long may it continue,” champions Simon of the global eco movement. “As we become more concerned about waste production and disposal, couples are thinking more consciously about their wedding flowers.

Hashtags on social media such as #grownnotflown and #nofloralfoam are influencing the way we think about where flowers are coming from and how florists work with them.”

When it comes to logistics and the benefits of an environmentally conscious approach to your floristry, Simon is “a great fan of reusing”, he says. “After all,

The Velvet Daisy

couples pay a lot of money for their wedding flowers.

For me it makes sense to move things around and reposition arrangements, so that they can be seen more often throughout the wedding day. It’s now rare for me not to repurpose flowers from ceremony to reception.

It may make the logistics slightly more difficult, but I think the extra effort is worth it.”

“As a florist making big changes to make my business as ecologically sound as possible, I love designs that can be done without the use of floral foam (which is so bad for the environment) and using materials such as dried,” says Emma. “Dried materials are great for cloud installations due to them being so lightweight, allowing us to ‘go big’!”

Pared-back bouquets “Too big or not too big? It’s all a question of size!” comments Simon of current bouquet crazes, which have become more minimal over recent seasons.

Toby Lowe

“There was a time when almost every bouquet I made was a neat dome of roses or peonies: it was a look that reigned supreme. Then things changed, and a wildly

garden-gathered style took hold, leading to by my bouquet.’ Neat domes continue to be popular, but expect to see more pared-down versions of the larger garden-style bouquets.”

Bold is beautiful “Not everyone wants a white wedding,” reports Simon. “They don’t work for everyone, so I’m seeing some couples make far bolder colour choices with their flowers. Coral is one of those colours and makes a fabulous statement for a wedding. Peonies have always been one of the most popular flowers, and the variety ‘Coral Charm’ is now one of the most requested. It partners perfectly with

Simon Nickell Design

the similarly bold shapes of dahlias, roses and poppies.” And if coral is too strong a choice, how about apricot or peach? “These shades are perfect for late summer and autumn weddings, they tone beautifully with burnt orange, reds and russets,” he says.

Head in the clouds ‘Statement’ is another feature on the hot list, with more couples opting for artistic and sculptural pieces to showcase their floristry.

Emma is a personal fan of the head-turning trend. “I love an installation, whether it be a cloud, free-standing arches, hanging chandeliers… and I love including lighting in my hanging installations at the moment,” she says.

“My background is in photography and art, so being able to express yourself as a florist with installations is such a wonderful thing to be able to do,” reveals Lisa. “Most importantly,

Down by the River Florals

The Velvet Daisy

collaborating with couples and bringing their ideas to life is one of the most rewarding things in the wedding industry!” she says of the creative partnering involved in designing Lisa Marie Grigsby

each couple’s individual floral arrangements.

“The use of flower clouds is also emerging as a trend and they are just beautiful and work really well alongside dried flower themes too,” she predicts. “Gypsophila has a reputation as being more traditional for weddings, but used alone can create stunning clouds, especially if there are several clouds suspended in a beautiful barn or country home. I love the dreamlike feel of creating something beautiful suspended above a top table, and exploring ideas where artistry and floral design meet.”

“Floral installations are some of the most stylish ways to personalise your wedding,” announces Simon. “I’m seeing a trend for ceremony aisles to be far more impactful than before, and lush arrangements filled with pampas grass and delphiniums are excellent for recreating this look. They can also be moved and doubled up as arrangements for the wedding reception.”

PERSONALISED PETALS

We love these ideas for adding a bespoke touch to your wedding blooms Go bold. Think outside the box and be brave. Work with your surroundings and the venue and use things that are special to you as a couple. Emma Be imaginative. I’ve personalised bouquets with a small locket from a grandmother, a particularly evocative flower, bright flowers incorporating pom-poms and ribbons to match the veil, and even mini basketballs! Helen Dried and pressed. A new service I offer is creating keepsakes of pressed flowers in beautiful copper frames in order to remember the florals used for the big day. Dried flower bouquets are also a beautiful way of being able to preserve the nuptial blooms for all time. Lisa Use your memories. It’s lovely to sit down with the couple and think about any specific flowers they associate with memories, and combining this meaning as a theme for flower choices. Flowers speak a language that is universal but also have nuanced meanings, something that transcends time and place and brings everyone together. Lisa

TABLE OF PLENTY

So many couples set out to create a relaxed mood on their wedding day – and the choice of dining is an essential ingredient in achieving a laid-back atmosphere. Step forward the sharing platter. A feast for all the senses, sharing platters of lovingly made food enhance the welcoming atmosphere of a wedding, bringing a sense of togetherness and encouraging guests to mingle; they also offer guests the chance to try a bit of everything rather than being restricted to one dish.

Jamie Beetham at Beetham Food has poured his culinary talents into creating sharing platters that will delight your eyes as well as your taste buds – not to mention adding a flavoursome carnival of colour to your reception tables.

Canapés replace a traditional starter: a creative selection of meat, fish, vegetarian and vegan bite-sized delights means guests can sample an array of flavours that look as appetising as they taste. Mini crab cake burgers add a fun and fresh seafood option, while Cornish pork meatballs served with a dipping sauce bring a spicy splash of Asian flavour. A take on the traditional ‘soup starter’, a shot of tomato soup is accompanied by a miniature cheese toastie made with Cornish Yarg, while more classic tastes come in the form of salmon blinis and bites of rare beef and Yorkshire pudding.

The main course brings the opportunity for sharing platters to get ever more impressive.

The crowd-pleasing combo of chicken and chips gets a delectable makeover by serving honey and thyme-roasted chicken legs, alongside triple-cooked chips that have you reaching for more. And the humble salad gets a healthy-but-hearty update with options including a dressed green salad and vibrant blend of roasted butternut squash, spinach and balsamic onions.

It doesn’t stop with the full-to-bursting dessert table, with the likes of berry pavlova, apple tarte tatin, Victoria sponge and chocolate profiteroles offering everything from zesty fruit flavours to lipsmacking classics. And platters of burgers and sweet potato chips will keep energy levels up as the evening draws in and the dancing begins.

As well as offering guests a variety of culinary options, this style of serve-yourself cuisine also gives you and your partner a good excuse to add your favourite dishes to the menu. Create your perfect sharing feast and, come W-day, sit back and savour the warm atmosphere of a big family meal as much as the flavoursome food.

DON’T STOP THE MUSIC In need of some musical inspiration for your wedding?

Let us entertain you with these musicians, bands and DJs that will keep your guests spellbound all day and long into the night words Lucy Higgins

Weddings are all about good vibes, and one of the best ways to bring those great feelings to the fore is with music. Your music can make or break the ambience, but luckily there are a whole host of talented Rafe Abrook

singers and wedding bands who know just how to lift the atmosphere to make it a memorable moment.

When looking for a wedding band, remember they don’t actually need to be a ‘wedding band’ per se. Any band, musician or performer could bring just the energy or creative input you’re looking for, so bear that in mind and you might be surprised who catches your eye (or ear!).

a show-stopping effect; the whole scene will be worthy of your once-in-alifetime celebration.

So whether you want a wedding DJ who’ll pull out all the stops, a soulful gospel choir or a ’90s mixtape-inspired six-piece band, you don’t have to go far to find it.

The Party Manifesto Those who grew up in the ’90s might remember listening to the Top 40 on a Sunday night, and recording your favourite songs off the radio onto a cassette. Well, that’s the idea behind the playlists of The Party Manifesto, a six-piece band who focus on “90s bangers”!

Bringing together the best of ’90s pop, dance, R‘n’B and hip-hop to your wedding, when they say “floor-fillers”, they’re a band that means it. With four different playlists for inspiration – including Pure Party, Pop, Dance, and Hip-hop and R‘n’B – the idea is that you can create your very own wedding mixtape, with songs including anything from Montell Jordan’s ‘This Is How We Do It’ to club classics such as Fatboy Slim’s ‘Praise You’ or boy band favourites like Take That or Boyz II Men. An uber-talented live band comprising six musicians – including Dan on drums, Alice and Nana on vocals and Cornish keyboard player Thom – their amazing energy and musical skill means after one listen you’ll be guaranteed to be reliving your best teenage years (but maybe with a better hairdo)! thepartymanifesto.com

The Choons Renowned for delivering a huge range of uptempo tracks with gusto, the feel-good factor that comes with a performance by The Choons is perfect for a wedding.

With an extensive and varied set list including everything from classic songs by The Rolling Stones to foot-stompers by Kings of Leon, guests of all ages – from kids to grandparents – will be up dancing and singing all night! Also adept at acoustic music, perhaps you’d prefer to have them perform at your drinks reception, during your ceremony, or as the background sound to your wedding breakfast.

The band will even tailor their clothing and look to suit your needs on the night, dressing formally for black tie weddings, or more casually if you prefer. With either a two or four-piece line up, one thing you’re guaranteed with The Choons is flexibility – and a brilliant sound to keep you toe-tapping long into the night. thechoons.co.uk

Kaj Known for his uptempo, highly energised performances, Kaj is a solo musician based on the north coast of Cornwall. Adept and beautifully skilled at playing live covers at weddings, he also writes original music and will learn almost any song of your choice. He’s just as comfortable playing guitar, piano or singing chilled-out acoustic tunes as he is getting the party started as evening falls.

Having supported the likes of Xavier Rudd, the Guillemots and Finley Quaye, Kaj gained experience before large audiences while also developing his own unique voice and individual style, meaning he’s not fazed by hundreds of wedding guests, big venues or rowdy crowds – in fact, he

“Couples wanting an original piece of music arranged for them is now very common, and with my background as a composer and string arranger, this is something we specialise in,” says Sue. “I also create original Cornish Celtic music, which has been featured on Classic FM, Sky TV and BBC1 – this is very popular too!”

Then, after your wedding, you’re welcome to use the group’s professionally recorded tracks on your wedding film, providing a seamless way to bring the sounds of your day to your memories forever.

“The music from a string ensemble will blend in with nature, birdsong and the voices of your guests,” says Sue. “We always ensure the music is the Sally Mitchell

Twin Harmony When it comes to utterly enchanting harmonies, these twin sisters from the far west of the county are in a league of their own. Having sung together in close harmony since childhood, Jenna and Morwenna Matthews boast years of experience, presenting a polished and professional performance that’s guaranteed to captivate your guests.

From show tunes, hymns and traditional Cornish songs to pop music, both classic and contemporary, Twin Harmony perform a wide repertoire of music and will happily learn any song of your choosing. Particularly suited to ceremonies, they have performed numbers by the likes of Adele, Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding to ABBA and Celine Dion at recent weddings – their beautiful voices and exceptional harmonies capturing the emotion of the moment in truly memorable style. twinharmony.co.uk

Ruth Wall The uplifting, serene and stirringly beautiful sound of a live harpist is guaranteed to enhance the romantic atmosphere of a wedding. Ruth Wall is a talented musician who plays on a lever and concert harp, buzzing Renaissance bray harp and Gaelic wire strung harp, with experience playing on some of the world’s biggest and coolest stages, including the Sydney Opera House, Berlin Philharmonic and our very own Eden Project.

“At weddings I perform a vast range of classical music, jazz and pop repertoire, alongside beautiful airs from the Scottish Highlands and Ireland,” says the musician, who has even performed to the Queen and HRH Prince of Wales.

Having been described as “the Hendrix of the harp world”, what sets her music apart is her incredible playing talent and diverse ability to adapt to the setting, having performed with everyone from the BBC Concert Orchestra to Goldfrapp.

Imagine the mesmerising melodies of the harp serving as the ambient soundtrack to some of the standout moments of your day, whether it’s signing the register or the joy of the drinks reception. cornwallweddingharp.co.uk

Broken Down An acoustic quartet from Penzance, Broken Down have been livening up wedding dance floors since 2012. Playing a unique mix of self-styled originals and funked-up covers, there’s a reason the loveable, lively quartet are a firm favourite in the south-west.

“They were literally the highlight of the day,” says bride Bryony. “All of our guests absolutely loved them, they were the perfect wedding band to get everyone up on their feet, dancing and singing along to some classics! All good friends, the four musicians – Adam, Gwil, Ben and Phil – pride themselves in making every performance a really immersive party experience.

“Broken Down completed our wedding and went over and above by learning and playing our first dance song, which was totally amazing,” says Christy. And with tunes including everything from Motorhead’s ‘Ace of Spades’ to Hanson’s ‘MMMBop’, the band will work with you to make sure their songs bring your reception – and your dance floor – to life. facebook.com/brokendownquartet

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

The Greenbank Hotel Perched on a harbour with breathtaking views across the River Fal, The Greenbank Hotel sets the scene for a stylish waterside wedding. Dating back to the 17th century, the four-star hotel’s historic character has been brilliantly blended with plush modern comforts and luxe accents. Food is a key focus and bespoke menus are brimming with fine local produce: think fresh seafood washed down with hand-picked wines, artisan spirits and Cornish craft beers. Guests can mingle on the terrace with cocktails or even head to the private sandy beach. And the bridal suite has a roll-top bathtub, huge bed and private balcony – the perfect spot for a sun-downer as you watch the boats chug by. greenbank-hotel.co.uk

PICTURE OF HAPPINESS

What better way to prepare for your wedding photography than with a prewedding shoot? Often referred to as engagement shoots, they are becoming increasingly popular, largely as they’re a fantastic way of building a rapport with your photographer, while capturing some beautiful images of the two of you at your most relaxed and natural. You might even use them for your wedding invitations or incorporate them into your wedding décor. If you’re considering a pre-wedding shoot, we’ve enlisted some of the region’s finest photographers to offer their expertise.

What are the advantages of a pre-wedding shoot?

Khalile Siddiqui: Most couples that come to me usually want some amazing photos, but one, or most commonly both, feel awkward in front of the lens. Some couples feel physically sick at the thought of having their photo taken, and we can’t have that on a wedding day, so a pre-wedding shoot

A pre-wedding shoot is a great way to get to know your wedding photographer while boosting your camera confidence.

Here, some top photographers share their insights on capturing these oh-so special images

is a great way to get them to relax in front of the camera and reassure them that the experience is nothing like standing in front of a firing squad!

Verity Westcott: I think it’s important for couples to realise that I personally really don’t do posed cheesy images, and that it can be fun, not something to dread. I also give them a few previews of the shoot as soon as I can, so they can see how awesome they look.

words Lucy Higgins Thomas Frost: It’s the perfect time for couples to ascertain whether they click with the photographer, to find out how creative the photographer is and what they can produce in a short time. It’s also good for couples to get used to being in front the camera. But most importantly, it will reveal whether the photographer will make the couple feel relaxed in front of the lens or not – this is key. The photographer will be with you all day, so if you can’t enjoy each other’s company for 20 minutes, then you’d better find a new one!

Clare Kinchin: It’s a great way to say hello to your photographer before the big day.

Most couples are terrified about having their picture taken, so the pre-wedding shoot gives the couple some confidence and lets them know what to expect on the wedding day, like a little pre-run before the big day. The shoot also gives us time to get to know each other, so I’m not a stranger on the day of your wedding. My work is pretty relaxed but I still give my couples some gentle direction... Oh and you get to have some gorgeous pictures of you as a couple!

Do many couples choose to have a pre-wedding shoot?

KS: I’ll do a pre-wedding shoot for any couple that wants one, and I also have a really thorough final pre-wedding meeting, where we discuss what they have planned, what they’d like and how to get the most out of their wedding day. These shoots are great for getting to know each other, so they feel like their new best friend is taking their wedding photos!

VW: Most of my couples take up my complimentary pre-wedding session. It’s a great way for us to all to get to know each other, and for the couple to feel comfortable and confident in front of me and my cameras ahead of the wedding day.

TF: About 40-60% of my couples look to have a

Thomas Frost

pre-wedding shoot; I think it’s a really good idea for couples who are still deciding on their perfect wedding photographer.

CK: More and more couples are booking in to have a pre-wedding shoot; I would say about half of my couples book one.

Where do you go for shoots?

KS: It’s usually weather dependent, so in the winter I’m more likely to do them in my studio, but mostly, due to our location, couples want them outside and normally on a beach. I recently did a pre-wedding session for a couple who got engaged on Crantock Beach. They were desperate to have photos taken there on their wedding day but time constraints wouldn’t allow for it, so it was a no-brainer as to where to go for their prewedding shoot.

Verity Westcott

VW: Generally lots of cliffs, beaches, the odd pub… and once a pizza place – ace!

TF: I mostly meet couples on the cliffs around Falmouth for the last light of the day. If couples opt for a free ‘try before you buy’ engagement shoot, then it needs to be in Falmouth. I meet some at the beach or whilst on a visit to a venue.

CK: I ask if they have a location that is personal to them, and I let the couple choose where they want to be photographed. I love the beach and Dartmoor, which are always fab places to shoot as they’re so wild and usually fairly private – it’s not great having an audience! Sometimes the couple want to shoot at the cafe where they had their first date or a more urban area, which is cool too, as places that have meaning will always feel more special! If the couple have pets or hobbies we can incorporate those too – if they love to surf, let’s get the boards out, and if they have a doggie, bring the pooch along for some pics! I absolutely love dogs so I’m always stoked when I know there is a furry four-legged friend coming along!

Have you done any more unusual pre-wedding shoots?

KS: My couples are normally so nervous about their photos being taken I don’t usually do anything too ‘out there’. The crazy stuff normally comes either on the wedding day with brides running into the sea before the wedding breakfast, or after the day with ‘trash the dress’ shoots on zip wires or army tanks!

VW: Kew Gardens was pretty epic.

TF: I had a recent shoot that actually involved a surprise proposal! After weeks of secret meetings and me scouting the area and arriving early to set out the hidden picnic and bubbles for the proposal, we were ready. When the couple arrived, we shot some stunning images, then I faked a phone call and I ran off to deal with the ‘issue’… but actually to light some candles and get to a high position with a

long lens to capture the proposal moment itself.

CK: My clients are usually nature lovers like me, so it tends to be out in the wilderness. I would love to shoot a couple wild swimming somewhere!

What advice do you have for anyone considering a pre-wedding shoot?

KS: Don’t be afraid to ask. Most photographers will be happy to do a pre-wedding shoot. Think about where you’re most likely to feel relaxed. Also, think about what you’re wearing – ensure you’re both wearing colours that complement each other and maybe even complement the surroundings too.

Maybe consider getting your hair and make-up done. It’s a fantastic experience, so if you’re feeling great then you’re going to feel more confident in front of the lens. And most importantly, have fun!

Clare Kinchin

VW: My advice would be not to stress about it, have fun with your photographer, and choose a location you love and feel comfortable in. My shoots generally only last an hour if that, so maybe take a beer or some bubbly, and just go and enjoy.

I find a pint or glass of wine always helps with the confidence levels.

TF: Do it – and enjoy it! Consider how relaxed you feel and how the planning was. Was it well organised concerning the photographer’s tide and sunset knowledge or did it feel unprofessional and hashed together? Use this to help you decide if you want to book the photographer for your wedding day.

CK: I would definitely think about the things you like doing as a couple in your spare time and incorporate those into the shoot. Pre-wedding shoots are generally bookable mid-week as my

weekends are so busy with shooting weddings, so if you are taking a day off, make the most of it. Book lunch or dinner and have a lovely romantic day!

Beautiful love stories from across Cornwall

SHORE THING

Family took centre stage at Fleur and Mark’s intimate wedding, where a romantic garden ceremony was followed by a beach party overlooking Mount’s Bay “We had been together for some time and already had a beautiful baby girl together, so it wasn’t an out-of-the-blue surprise,” admits Fleur of Mark’s written-in-the-stars proposal.

“With neither set of parents living close by, we had an unusual opportunity for a night out when my parents came to stay one weekend. It seemed the obvious opportunity, but certainly wasn’t planned. We stayed until all the other customers had left the tapas restaurant, then Mark made a makeshift ring out of a couple of paper napkins!”

Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens was the venue of choice for the couple’s intimate wedding, where nods to vintage style met gorgeous floral arrangements of dainty white blooms and eucalyptus. “We both like vintage style, especially art deco. Although this wasn’t an overt theme for the day, it certainly influenced our decision-making,” says Mark.

A ceremony in the pagoda presented guests with the garden’s sublime surrounds along with an ambient soundtrack by Kaj, who helped define the mood of the day with his stirring acoustic guitar and vocals.

Readings from Fleur’s brother and Mark’s father added to the personalised proceedings, after which al fresco drinks and canapés were enjoyed while admiring Tremenheere’s sweeping views across Mount’s Bay. Heading to Marazion Beach for a fun-filled reception, guests young and old enjoyed a variety of games while tucking into the delights of Fortnum & Mason hampers filled with scrumptious goodies.

“After a couple of hours, we made our way back to The Godolphin Arms for dinner and speeches, which were enjoyed downstairs overlooking St Michael’s Mount before guests (including some very tired children!) dispersed,” says Fleur of the final part of their fabulous celebrations.

“Whilst on the beach, a complete stranger came up to us and presented us with a pencil sketch he had drawn of the scene of our wedding party, which we absolutely adore and is now framed and taking pride of place on our mantelpiece!” she reveals.

She also cites her walk toward the pagoda as Kaj played ‘Ho Hey’ by the The Lumineers (“accompanied by the guests Ho-ing and Hey-ing!”) as another of her personal highlights, while Mark fondly recalls playing with the children on the beach.

“Make a plan, and select people who you think understand what you want and how stressful it can be organising things on top of your normal, busy lives!” says Fleur of how to create a stress-free planning environment.

“Going through a wedding planner really helped accelerate our plans by linking us to service providers we could trust and took a lot of stress out, especially with getting married in an area we didn’t know. Also, we found that working with a coordinator on the day means you have support to deal with getting those last minute details right,” she adds.

“Finally, remember that you can only plan so much…so when the gazebo flew away on the beach, we weren’t too worried about it!” laughs Mark.

GREEN DAY

From magnificent food and mojitos to sea shanties and wedding raps, Grace and Jon’s sun-spilled garden gathering was filled with music, fun and flavour Having first locked eyes at a party, Grace and Jon’s engagement comprised a romantic boat trip followed by a proposal on their favourite beach on The Roseland.

“We then had a swim and a ‘sausage sizzle’,” reveals Grace.

“It was dreamy.”

Enys Gardens in Penryn provided the atmospheric backdrop for their wedding reception. Green – the couple’s favourite colour – carried throughout the details, featuring alongside white in everything from the floristry and invitations to the bridesmaids’ dresses and cake. The couple put their stylistic stamp on the historic house with an abundance of foliage and white blooms. “We named our tables after herbs and used leaves for people’s names.

We also borrowed loads of houseplants to fill the bookshelves at Enys,” adds Grace.

A family friend’s giant green truck made for perfectly coordinated wedding transport, while Grace finished her dazzling crystal encrusted gown with a gorgeous braided updo and a bouquet of lush green foliage dotted with white blooms.

Their beautifully personal service at Mawnan Old Church, which was decorated with foliage-filled chandeliers in keeping with the day’s aesthetic, featured their favourite sea shanty ‘Little Lize’, poetry “and plenty of loud, lovely singing by all our loved ones!” says Jon. After the ceremony, everyone gathered in the sun-drenched grounds of Enys where mojitos were served alongside a host of nibbles, including sticky chicken skewers, beetroot borani, escabeche of mackerel and wood-roasted carrots, to a traditional Irish soundtrack by Krelys.

The speeches, which included a ‘wedding rap’ from the father of the bride, were delivered ahead of a sumptuous wedding breakfast of lamb with baharat-style seasoning, burnt aubergine with preserved fruit, a delicious array of sides and orange blossom panna cotta.

The Stone Roots kept the party in full swing throughout the evening. “Holly and the band were incredible and got everyone dancing,” says Grace, who also enlisted the entertainment of Jenna Jazz’s glitter face painting, “which our guests loved!”.

“The whole day far exceeded our expectations, our guests were all on fine form and the weather was wonderful,” summarises Grace of her and Jon’s fun-filled day. “We both loved singing ‘Little Lize’ in the church with our fantastic family and friends – and the vows were super special for us,” she says of her standout moments.

“Book the ‘big things’ like the venue, band, caterer, dresses and suits early, relax for a while and then do the rest during the couple of months before,” Grace offers as advice to couples setting out on their planning journey. “Also, get your creative family and friends involved – ours blew us away with their input!”

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Leigh-Anne and Jason threw a fun-filled festival wedding, complete with fairground games, local flavours and tipis brimming with colourful blooms

Jason proposed to Leigh-Anne while the couple were staying in a luxury shepherd’s hut following a decadent champagne picnic. “We then had a celebratory evening meal at Nathan Outlaw’s fish kitchen,” says Jason. “Leigh-Anne had no clue!”

Continuing the wild outdoorsy theme for their wedding, they hosted their celebrations in the idyllic grounds of Pengenna Manor, which housed two stunning giant hat tipis, while the meadow was scattered with luxury bell tents as their guests’ accommodation. “Guests arrived on the Friday to move into their bell tents and we cooked up a big barbecue, played games and generally got merry,” says Leigh-Anne of their wedding weekend.

The Saturday morning featured a joint breakfast with the bride, groom and both sets of parents, which Jason admits was “very untraditional – but we wanted to enjoy every moment together!”.

Designing a day with a “summery, floral, festival” vibe saw every detail combine to set the relaxed, fun-filled mood.

The tipis were dressed with a carnival of colourful glassware filled with blooms, while Leigh-Anne teamed her vintage gown with an elaborate headdress of dried flowers.

The ceremony, which took place in the rustic setting of the Cowyard Barn, continued the laid-back vibe of the day. A Scottish piper led the newly-weds from the barn to the tipi reception where guests tucked into drinks and nibbles while amusing themselves with an array of vintage fairground games including a coconut shy and hook-a-duck. Local seafood paella and chilli were devoured for the wedding feast, later followed by sweet delights from a vintage ice cream van and an evening hog roast.

Much drinking and dancing ensued before Leigh-Anne and Jason retired to their luxury bridal bell tent in the same meadow as their guests, waking the next day to enjoy hand-delivered croissants and coffee with them before they departed.

“Our dog Walter was an integral part of the whole weekend.

He bundled past the father of the bride as he was trying to walk Leigh-Anne down the aisle!” says Jason of one of the most memorable moments from their day, while Leigh-Anne recalls “laughing the whole way down the aisle and seeing the look on Jason’s face” as one of her fondest memories.

They both share the resounding sentiment that “just seeing all of our friends and family in the same place having a great time” was a definite highlight, leaving them to dispense their simple advice to other nearly-weds: “Try to relax and enjoy your preparations.”

NATURAL BEAUTY

Beth and Jim took inspiration from their beautifully rustic venue for their sunfilled celebrations filled with lush décor and natural styling Upon their first meeting in a rock/metal club in Liverpool, Beth made fun of Jim’s shoes – while Jim couldn’t really hear much. “A perfect beginning!” laughs Jim, who proposed to Beth on Porthcothan Beach, Beth’s favourite place.

“Jim proposed after we’d been surfing, he cannily hid the ring in his wetsuit and managed not to lose it in some pretty messy waves!” says Beth.

Immediately deciding to get married in Cornwall, a special place for them both, the couple landed on Ta Mill, a farm venue in a secluded valley, “where we could have most of our guests stay for the weekend”. Living in London meant the couple relied on the venue to help them coordinate local suppliers. “Helen at Ta Mill was really flexible in helping us create the day exactly as we wanted it,” explains Beth. “Without her help, we wouldn’t have had the amazing weekend that it ended up being.”

Deciding to do away with a theme in favour of keeping the décor “relaxed and natural” to reflect the beautiful surroundings, Beth and Jim focused on filling the venue with an abundance of lush greenery and flowers.

“Our florist helped us create something to match the giant foxgloves and meadowsweet growing wild at the mill,” says Beth. “We had white roses and ferns for buttonholes, and daisies, freesias, ivy, astrantia, roses and nigella for the bridal bouquets and hair. The long stalks of Canterbury bells made a great impact in the centrepieces.”

Beth’s relaxed hair and make-up were complemented by a lightweight French gown – a wise choice on one of the hottest days of the year – while Jim sweated it out in a three-piece tweed suit!

After a touching outdoor ceremony followed by a confetti run, the couple and their guests started on the pink fizz and speeches.

“A ‘double hat’ tipi created an atmospheric space and much-needed shade for our meal and, importantly, the dancing!” says Beth. Determined to use Cornish suppliers where possible, the guests tucked into sharing dishes of local produce, which included salmon dressed with prawns and samphire, ham, salads with edible flowers and herbs, and Cornish new potatoes. Dessert was brownies, scones and chocolates with wine from nearby Camel Valley – and anyone with space left after all that was treated to a selection of Cornish cheeses, plus a hog roast later in the evening!

The first dance followed – Pulp’s ‘Common People’ – then it was time to fill the dance floor, thanks to local band The Qwest. “They woke our guests from their food comas, played a whole heap of classics and kept the party going very late,” says Beth – which led to one of their favourite moments. “If we had to pick one, it’d probably be just as the band was starting up, in the warm evening sunshine when we could see how much fun everyone was having.”

After a long, sunny evening of celebrating and dancing, the guests were treated to “stupendously good tacos” the day after the wedding. And as well as providing next day food as “a great way to recover from the party”, what are Beth’s other top tips for busily planning couples?

“Do what you can to plan it to reflect you, your friends and family but don’t try to micromanage on the day,” she says. “Once it gets started, just keep your arms and legs inside the carriage, try to relax and enjoy the ride!”

ALL MANOR OF LOVE

A proposal in Paris culminated in a picture-perfect summer wedding for Sophie and Lewis, complete with lawn games, ice cream and blush blooms “I’m from Cornwall and moved to Bristol to complete my children’s nursing training. Whilst at university I met Lewis and we’ve been together since,” reveals Sophie of how she and Lewis first became a couple.

“I always went on about being proposed to in Paris as it is such a romantic city and, after four years, he took me there on my birthday and proposed under the Eiffel Tower,” she says of her dream proposal in the City of Love.

Armed with a clear vision and venue location, Sophie knew she wanted to get married in Cornwall, near where she grew up.

“We saw Tredudwell Manor on the internet and arranged to see it. Unfortunately, that weekend it snowed so we couldn’t make it down from Bristol, so my parents went to view it instead,” she explains.

“It looked great from what I could see through the phone so we told them to book it as they had our date available! When we eventually went to view Tredudwell Manor, it was a million times better seeing it in person.”

Providing the perfect blank canvas for the couple to create their beautiful blush pink wedding scene, the reception space was styled with pretty blooms and metallic accents. Flanked by the pictureperfect grounds, the ceremony temple also gave them the option of a breathtaking al fresco ceremony – “which is what we ended up doing as the weather was beautiful on the day”, says Sophie.

The handmade décor added a personal touch to the styling.

“I made all the invitations myself and my mum, maid of honour and I made personalised biscuits for our favours, which also doubled up as place settings,” she says.

The ceremony itself provided Lewis with one of the most memorable moments from the day – “seeing Sophie’s face walking down the aisle” – while being fresh newly-weds proved to be one of Sophie’s personal highlights.

“After getting married, Lewis and I went off with our photographer to some fields overlooking the coast to take some photographs,” she says. “Having this time just to the two of us was special as we were so busy for the rest of the day.”

Joining their guests for lawn games in the sunshine, everyone soon settled into the reception barn for sharing platters of meats, cheeses and breads followed by rack of lamb and ice cream served from a vintage van. The sun-drenched day then slipped into night with a DJ set and plenty of partying as guests helped Sophie and Lewis celebrate their union in style.

“It’s great to add a DIY touch to your day and get close family and friends involved too!” says Sophie as her top tip to other couples in the throes of planning.

CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE From Cornish verse and traditional tartan to homemade tipples, Emily and Richard’s romantic celebrations at Caerhays Castle were packed with personality and Cornish touches

“Richard was my first ever Tinder date; he likes to claim that I was his too but this definitely isn’t true,” laughs Emily of how modern dating paved the way for their romance.

“The kitchen floor of our London flat at 6am!” she announces when asked for the venue of her proposal story. “I like to tease him about this being not very well thought out but immediately afterwards we left for the airport for a lovely weekend in snowy Copenhagen. Richard is from Wales and proposed with a Welsh gold ring with a Welsh dragon’s tail on the setting.”

The stationery design of a wedding crest with their initials on the pages of an open book combined with literary inspiration from some of their favourite books to set the characterful scene for their wedding at Caerhays Castle.

“We named our tables after our four favourite book characters and had readings from ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ and ‘The Velveteen Rabbit’,” elaborates Emily.

Opting for a wildly romantic ceremony under a stretch tent on the clifftop at the Coastguard’s Lookout, Emily walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ before a series of readings including ‘If-’ by Rudyard Kipling and a specially written passage by Emily’s former schoolteacher (who also spoke some Cornish) concluded the highly personalised proceedings.

“We had a friend ‘marry’ us as we got legally married a few days before.

Mia was fantastic and I cried throughout – it was an absolutely beautiful ceremony,” reminisces Emily, before adding, “I think you put more planning into the reception, but in the end it was the ceremony that was my favourite.”

A bus transported guests down to the beach meadow for the drinks reception where they tucked into canapés of Cornish beef from Emily’s parents’ farm. Then they relocated to a clear roof marquee for dinner, interspersed with speeches toasted with homemade Cornish blackberry vodka and Spingo real ale.

“We danced to old school tunes until 12.30am and left about 15 minutes before the end,” says Emily of the evening’s events, which also included a pasty supper. “It was so nice looking at all our guests partying away through our clear marquee.”

Looking back, Emily dispenses some practical shopping advice for grooms keen to achieve a stylishly dressed day. “When looking at men’s suits, pick a tailor with a similar build to the men you are dressing,” she says before picking a few personal highlights from her W-day to share.

“We did the Helston Flora Dance for a father-daughter dance – it is close to my family’s heart and my dad only got emotional during his father-of-thebride speech when talking about Flora Day!” she reveals.

“Walking into the marquee to ‘The Pina Colada Song’ with everyone clapping and cheering is another standout moment,” she says. “Whenever we have a tough day we now listen to this song!”

CORNISH DREAMS

Kate and Ben travelled to their favourite place in the world – St Ives – to celebrate their union in sandbetween-the-toes style “We first met when I went for a job interview at a restaurant owned

by Ben’s father. I got the job and a few months later we were an item. We worked together for five years after that, which stood us in good stead for married life!” giggles Kate.

Years later, a family holiday to Walt Disney World in Florida proved particularly memorable. “Ben had planned the proposal on a log flume ride and popped the question just before the final big drop,” recalls Kate. “With his family sat behind us holding signs reading ‘Will You Marry Me?’ the onride camera managed to capture the moment for everyone to see, which meant that we exited the ride to a huge applause!”

A deep love for St Ives made Ben and Kate’s venue decisions very easy.

“Deciding where to get married was the easiest decision throughout the whole planning process,” she says. “Even though we live in Manchester, it is our favourite place in the world, and one that holds some very special memories for both of our families.”

The “understated elegance” of St Ives Council Chamber provided the perfect backdrop for their relaxed ceremony, while Porthgwidden Beach Café combined “the views, food and relaxed Cornish atmosphere that we knew we wanted from the offset”.

Drawing inspiration from the Cornish landscape and their early October wedding date, the muted autumnal tones of St Ives’ coastal paths were captured in the orange, yellow and brown colour scheme, with dried flowers continuing the seasonal theme.

“We also wanted to echo our location by dressing the tables with vintage miners’ lanterns, rope, pebbles and copper vases that complemented and provided a pop of colour against the whitewashed stone walls of Porthgwidden Beach Café,” says Kate.

Following a musical ceremony, the newly-weds led the congregation through the streets of St Ives to the café for canapés and drinks in the sunshine, later followed by a feast of beer-battered fish, stuffed field mushrooms and slow-roasted belly pork rounded off with a Cornish cream tea.

The evening featured Cornish pasties and local cheeses before culminating in “drinks under the festoon-lit terrace looking out onto the ocean before walking with our friends through St Ives to our cottage”, recalls Ben. “Standing on the Island in each other’s arms looking down at the ocean and knowing all our family and friends were on the beach below was so humbling and truly special,” says Kate. “Every time we walk up there now all those feelings of pure joy come rushing back.”

Looking back on their “fun and relaxed” day, Kate has so many fond memories. “Not only did it look exactly how we imagined, more importantly – it felt even better than we could have hoped for,” she says.

“The best advice is be true to what you want and try not to sweat the small stuff,” she offers. “In reality, most of the small details will get forgotten, but it is the people and the place that have longevity in your memories.”

YOU ARE THE BEST THING

Food, flowers and fashion fused to sensestirring effect during Mary-Anne and Sam’s beyond-beautiful day at Launcells Barton “Nowhere gave us ‘the feeling’ until I spotted Launcells Barton. It had the exact vibe we were after, and it turned out to be very close to where Sam’s parents live in Cornwall!” says Mary-Anne of her and Sam’s stunning choice of wedding venue.

Having viewed Launcells Barton in torrential rain, the wedding day itself coincided perfectly with the summer heatwave. “We were unbelievably lucky,” she says. “The sunshine just added to the chilled, effortless vibe and we really got to make the most of the venue.”

The look of their day was decided upon in equally serendipitous style, with the colour scheme chosen after Mary-Anne found her gorgeous Caroline Castigliano dress, which featured a full skirt, low back and layers of lace over a nude bodice. “It made me feel like a ballet dancer rather than a princess and was also super light and comfortable!” she says.

Rivalling his bride on the style front, Sam’s bespoke made-to-fit suit was customised with his new initials and wedding date sewn into the jacket lining. “He’s taken my surname as a middle name,” explains Mary-Anne. “For someone who spends his life in sports kit, he looked very handsome all suited up!”

The floristry was another key component of the day’s aesthetic, comprising rustic-style flowers with lots of greenery and proteas in Mary-Anne’s bouquet to reflect her South African heritage, with soft colours to complement the nude blush undertone of her bodice alongside pops of coral.

The wow factor flowers didn’t end there. Erica of Bleujen also created a spectacular floral arch and wove foliage into the lighting of the ceremony barn, filled milk churns from the farm with flowers, and set up incredible hanging floral designs in the reception barn.

“We set up a table in the entrance with wooden crates and a stepladder dressed with family wedding photos, flowers and candles and also a photo board displaying photos from throughout our relationship. In the same place we left a fingerprint tree we bought last minute for guests to make their mark, which tied into our table names. It looked brilliant and is such a lovely reminder of the day framed on our wall at home,” adds Mary-Anne.

A ceremony replete with piano music by Einaudi, Fabrizio Paterlini and Per-Olov Kindgren also featured a trio of personally poignant readings. “Sam and I walked out of the ceremony to ‘You are the Best Thing’ by Ray LaMontagne, which still makes my heart soar every time I hear it!” reminisces Mary-Anne.

A menu designed around the couple’s favourite foods saw starters of manchego, chorizo and asparagus tart followed by chicken breast in a lemon sauce rounded off with a ‘Cape mess’ for dessert: a delicious South African passionfruit twist on the traditional dessert.

The evening continued to treat guests to fun and food aplenty – including barbecued crispy bacon rolls, ‘his and hers’ cocktails, a sweetie bar and three-tiered cake – and entertainment from a Polaroid station (that cleverly repurposed the floral archway) and “effortlessly cool vibe” of XY Duo.

“The entire day was a dream, but we’ve both said that the moment when we saw each other at either end of the aisle is something we’ll never forget. Everything else just melted away!” says Mary-Anne of her all-time favourite memory.

“Choose your suppliers carefully, share your vision with them and trust their expertise and experience. You’ll then be able to just relax in the knowledge that they’ve got it all sorted,” she offers as indispensible words of advice.

“Enjoy the day as it flies by so quickly!” she adds. “We relinquished all plans and control and everything flowed perfectly. It was genuinely the most amazing day of our lives and we made memories with all our favourite people that we’ll treasure forever!”
