We Tied The Knot: Our Pinterest Inspired Manor House Wedding In Cornwall ❤️💍
Today marks 3 months since we tied the knot at a gorgeous manor house in Cornwall. Time has flown, and subsequently, I haven’t had a chance to blog nearly as much as I usually do. We’re now back to reality and getting used to married life – although I still sign for the post using my maiden name sometimes! We had the BEST wedding and then we went backpacking around Thailand and Cambodia for 5 weeks. We had our backpacks in the bridal suite and went straight to the train station from the venue the next morning!
Stories are best told visually, so I’ve shared just some of our wedding photographs and videos from the day. Yep – just some! There were a whopping 2,500+ images – it wasn’t easy, we whittled it down to our very favourites. I’m going to be putting together heaps of posts about each individual bit of the day but, hopefully, this will give you a preview of our special day if you couldn’t make it, and in years to come we’ll look back and reminisce.
Wedding photographs captured by the very talent Lizzie Churchill and Jonny Noakes. You can watch our wedding ceremony video on YouTube here, and our wedding highlights film on Vimeo here.
We had exclusive access to this 1780’s manor house nestled away in 400 acres of private gardens for 3 days
This meant the day before our wedding we had 6 hours to set up the venue before a relaxed evening meal
We woke up at the crack of dawn to begin getting ready and meet the makeup artists and hairdressers
We munched on croissants and drank alcohol-free prosecco whilst being pampered and listening to music
Huge thank you to my dad that took a picture from Instagram and decorated the staircase with real ivy
You have no idea how much time and effort went into these truffles. Thank you everybody, they were amazing
We were so lucky that we made our wedding rings in Cornwall. They took a full-day to make and we love them
My dad also made our wedding cake, thanks to some Pinterest inspiration. We’ve saved the top tier 👶🍼
I wish I could have professional hair and makeup, and a fresh face of lip, chin and cheek filler all the time
Aren’t these guys the CUTEST? We could hear everyone arriving whilst getting ready, so so special
So in love with this orangery out the back of the venue. The lighting was absolutely epic all day – so lucky
It was a military operation getting this photo. The bridal party running around trying not to get caught 😂
We knew this venue was perfect when we viewed it in 2017 after we got engaged. Can you see why?
The string quartet learnt ‘our song’ (Bon Iver – Holocene) and played it whilst we were signing the register 😭
Putting on my veil was the moment I officially felt like a bride, it was a bit of a nuisance but I loved it so much
Just before walking down the aisle my parents gave me a delicate gold bracelets (more pictures coming soon)
My bridesmaid, Lynden, matron of honour, Roxanne, and bridesmaid, Saralou. Love these guys so much

Our ceremony music was Canon in D played by the string quartet which is when the tears really started!!
I’m so glad I didn’t fall down these stairs. I did accidentally knock off a candle at the top of the stairs 😂
Sam’s reaction when I get to the top of the stairs (he was told not to look until I reached the top of the stairs!)
We had an unplugged ceremony but our photographer caught these images and they’re absolutely perfect
Sharing our vows was so special. 100% recommend doing this if you get married, it made our ceremony
I’ll never forget the roaring cheering when we were pronounce husband and wife. It was amazing 😭😭😭
Sam got his gold tie and pocket from gold silk tie and pocket square from 1st Choice Cufflinks online
Our best man, James, and my brother, Ben, signing the register with us. Special people, special photographs
Love this photograph. Going to keep this framed for years to come. I’m not usually a fan of B&W!
This is my mums favourite photograph, and I can see why (I love them all). Just after we got married!!!
The first photograph we got framed, sits in a gold frame from our wedding day thats in our bedroom
Everyone was surprised not to see my in a Grace Loves Lace Dress. Tbh, so was I. But LOOK at this dress
Our amazing friend, Joelle, did the calligraphy on the mirrors. She’s so talented and we’re so grateful
The string quartet played lots of popular songs throughout our reception. Notably, Game of Thrones 😂
This was the first photograph we saw from our day. Obviously, we were over the moon with it!
Everyone was so surprised when I told them my flowers were fake and they weren’t done by a florist
All the lovely ladies (and bridesmaid!) that made the effort to go all the way to Marrakech for my hen do
My grandad made a speech at our wedding and it was so amazing. I’m so glad he shared some words xx
Our wedding caterers were the winners of the South West Wedding Awards 2019! We had a sit-down affair
My incredible mother-in-law and Andy made us a doughnut wall. It was so sweet of them 😉 Love this photo
Probably my favourite photo of my friends EVER. That lighting and those colours. Lovely, lovely people
Our friend lent us this funky machine to put our truffles and wedding favours in. Thanks so much, Pete
Garden games in the sunshine. We were lucky with the weather. We were forecasted for thunderstorms!
Throwing the bouquet, and my gorgeous cousin (Rachel) caught it! Com’on Mic, we’re waiting 😉
Love this photograph. As the sun went down we went for a wander in the bluebells for some more piccys

We tried to get a photograph of everybody but it wasn’t possible. So glad to get a shot of most people though
Our first dance (Bon Iver – Holocene). On the way back from our honeymoon we watched this live, too!!!
Changed into my evening dress shortly afterwards so I could have a little boogie. Sparkle, sparkles ✨
A beautiful day with beautiful people x x
