Inspiration

We found our amazing photographer, PuraVIDa Cornwall, from Rock My Wedding! He totally got us as a couple and created some incredible shots of two very awkward humans! We also found Rebel & Anchor from Rock My Wedding who, after our first consultation, knew they were for us. The aim was to keep all of our suppliers local to our venue and mostly managed to succeed within a 20-mile radius. We really wanted to work with non-traditional suppliers who understood our vision and helped bring it to life.

Lauren & Chris' vibe was punk rock boho. As music fans, they wanted this to be reflected in their decor including displaying their fave lyrics on banners throughout the venue, music-themed table names, favours, and a record player guest book! The party got started with a rock and noughties-themed setlist. In addition to this, Lauren's first ever words to Chris were 'You're a babe', so of course, this also played a part in their invitations and banners, which they DIY'd! Some of the couple's favourite moments include the alpacas (!), the pink Cadillac wedding car, and speeches from Lauren's mum and dad. Our personal absolute highlights of this day include Lauren's pink denim jacket cover-up and sunglasses combo, THAT dessert table and the cute alpaca cake toppers. Of course, we also love that this couple had Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton as one of their wedding readings.

If you are going fully DIY, I cannot recommend a wedding coordinator enough! Life is too short to be stressing about the little things when you can have somebody to take care of that for you on the day. As a couple, remember to love each other, communicate and express yourself. Don't leave everything until the last minute, unless it's the table plan! If you have anybody contributing to your wedding, be upfront and ask if any conditions come with it.
