What Made Our Day Unique
Having so much of the day created by friends. I had a bespoke dress made for me by one of my best friends and my hair and make-up done by another (and they happen to be identical twins!) Another friend created our beautiful wedding cake and our neighbours made an order of the day pallet, photo frames, menus and name cards. I also gave a bride speech which I was really nervous about but it gave me the opportunity to thank and express my feelings for my friends and family whilst they were all together in one room which I will probably never get to do again!
Inspiration & Styling
We are both fairly laid back and not very traditional so we didn't want the day to be too formal. We love Cornwall and it's all about chilling out and relaxing when we visit and we wanted our wedding to reflect that feeling. We chose the venue because it fit in with that vibe but when making decisions whilst planning, we also thought about what would suit the venue so opted for decor and outfits that fit in with a rustic wedding theme. My brief to our florist, Helen was that I wanted the flowers to echo Cornish hedgerows. What she created was so much better than we could have imagined and the flower meadows which lined the aisle really gave the feeling of "bringing the outside in". We had candles from Join burning on the tables during the meal. Jenna from Join is originally from Cornwall and many of the scents are inspired by the county.
