You’ve decided to get married and suddenly a bewildering world of style and choice opens up to you – Vintage, Bohemian, Rustic, Coastal – what’s a bride to do? Check out Cornish Tipi Weddings – here you can style the wedding of your dreams any which way you please.

If your heart is set on a woodland wedding, green wedding, wedding by water or perhaps a festival style wedding then you’ve come to the right place.

The wood, willow and canvas ceremony pavilion isn’t on a manicured lawn but really outdoors; by a clear brook and under a canopy of Oak and Ash. Declaring your love in front of family and friends is big stuff and the Cornish Tipi lot can make it traditional or funky, country or eco-chic – the choice is up to you.

Receptions take place in the marquee meadow with a big lawn outside the marquee for croquet or drinks, or maybe you want to use the space for a painted tipi set up as a crèche, or an outdoor cinema, or chill out space.

Curving paths cut through longer meadow grass, a central fire pit allows for toasting marshmallows after dark and the wooden footbridge lit up with festoons and candle lanterns lights your way to your tipis when the music fades…

The options really are endless at Cornish Tipi Weddings – No matter your style the team at Cornish Tipi Weddings ensure you are linked to the best suppliers to dress your wedding… Or for those DIY enthusiasts it’s a dream canvas!

The beautiful valley and woods are perfect for Alice and Steampunk Mad Hatter tea parties, Enid Blyton or Middle Earth enchanted adventures, laid back bohemians or just simple bbq’s and woodland picnics – celebrations are as easy or detailed as you please.

Ever After – A Dartmoor Wedding

A new venue for 2014, Ever After is set in 46 acres of landscaped gardens and woodlands in the Devonshire countryside.

In the evening enjoy the gardens lit with fairy lights and candles, stay warm and dry if it rains and if it doesn’t, dance under the stars to the band or DJ of your choice.

The free minibus service brings your guests to the venue and returns them to their accommodation at the end of the evening.

The venue’s caterers provide locally sourced, naturally produced, fine dining, updated according to the season.  Download the menu suggestions (which you can change as you wish) from the Ever After website.

Sundridge Park Manor, situated in stunning grounds on the outskirts of Bromley in Kent, has to be one of the most perfect Classic Elegance wedding venues in the South East.

Designed by John Nash in the late 18th century, the stuccoed Grade I listed mansion is a wedding cake of a building providing a faultless backdrop for memorable wedding photographs.

Approached by a long and winding private drive through lush parkland, the Corinthian pillars and curved façade of Sundridge Park Manor give it a sense of history and status.

Inside the grand Manor House there is a suite of distinguished function rooms including a ballroom, not to mention a grand double cantilevered staircase – perfect for a bit of Bridal posing wouldn’t you say…?

Sundridge Park Manor offers exclusive use for a Bridal party and has 23 en-suite rooms for your friends and family.

The Manor can accommodate up to 70 guests for the civil ceremony and formal wedding meal, and up to 150 evening guests.

Thanks to a lavish refurbishment, the circular bridal suite now offers the romance and grandeur brides dream of… The sumptuous surroundings of this historic Bridal Suite are truly breathtaking with a fourposter bed, elaborate plasterwork and gorgeous views of the grounds – all delicately lit by the stunning 18th Century chandelier.

For the Classic Elegance couple looking for timeless traditions in a romantic setting Sundridge Park ticks all of the boxes…
