Welcome to the joyful and glowing Beaconside House<\/a> wedding of Alexa and Shaun in the Devon<\/a> countryside. Their day was super whimsical with relaxed, fun and happy vibes.<\/p>\n

Their wedding was beautifully summery, with golden sunshine and stunning portraits on the beach. Then there were their stunning outfits and glorious styling. From the modern meets rustic decor to the fantastic song choices and alternative wedding cake<\/a> (hello pinata smash!) you’re going to adore their nuptials.<\/p>\n

Beaconside House Wedding<\/em><\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

At Fiscavaig Bay in the Isle of Skye<\/strong>. We were on a hiking holiday with our beloved pooch and we went to watch the sunset down on the rocks where not a soul was in sight. The weather was beautiful and I was in my pyjamas with a plastic bottle filled with Gin & Tonic, and not dressed for the occasion AT ALL.<\/p>\n

Shaun definitely surprised me<\/strong> by getting down on one knee.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

I wanted something that had a mix of all the different styles<\/strong> I liked \u2013 it’s so hard to envision your wedding when all venues seem suited to better styles.<\/p>\n

I liked the traditional white look but didn\u2019t want the formal big stately home, I loved a tipi festival wedding but that didn\u2019t suit Shaun\u2019s style so well. So we found the perfect venue where we had the beautiful country views<\/strong> and the outside feeling I wanted (FYI -am happiest outside exploring) but also had the modern barn.<\/p>\n

And I could still bring all the elements I liked of DIY, rustic with more minimal\/modern styling. I wanted FUN, FAIRLY INFORMAL, RELAXED AND A BIG PARTY!<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

\u00a320,000 \u2013 not including dresses and suits. We were just about on target and that included a free bar.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Beaconside House<\/strong> \u2013 Bideford Devon.<\/p>\n

A beautiful country house in the Devon countryside<\/strong> with amazing views, woodland cabins, a pool, hot tubs and modern barn for the reception. And indoor glass conservatory if outside gazebo option doesn\u2019t work, all for 3 days hire for us and all our guests.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

The boys wore beige \u2018Venice\u2019 suits which we hired from Abigail\u2019s Collection @ The Grooms Room<\/strong> in Colchester. I chose for Shaun because I wanted that summery more causal feel rather than a formal tux!<\/p>\n

I wore a dress called \u2018Gemini\u2019 by Dando London<\/strong> from Confetti & Lace<\/strong>. It was probably the 30th dress I tried on, but it gave me everything I wanted. Elegant, no lace, a bit of glamour, figure-hugging and sophisticated but also my style.<\/p>\n

My sister was a Gemini (she passed away a year before my dress shopping) and it seemed like a sign to me<\/strong> that it was the right one. I\u2019m so pleased I chose it I love it.<\/p>\n
