Orangery Mount Edgcumbe Wedding<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Luke proposed in 2019 on my 25th birthday, shortly after we bought our first home, where he proposed.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

After Luke proposed in 2019, we planned to get married in 2022, as this would be our 10-year anniversary on 16th September. The wedding was then planned around this date and other key factors such as location which was very important to us. Vision-wise, my Pinterest boards, were filled with foliage, white floral and green.<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

Budget – \u00a315,000<\/p>\n

Actual spend approx \u00a317,000.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Ceremony \u2013 Mount Edgcumbe House<\/p>\n

Reception \u2013 The Orangery Mount Edgcumbe<\/p>\n

Both of the venues are located on the Mount Edgcumbe estate in Cornwall. The estate looks over Plymouth and Plymouth Sound. This was really important to us when choosing a venue as we wanted somewhere that was special to us and our relationship. We both attended Plymouth University where we met and a lot of our dates involved this and exploring the surrounding area. We also bought our first home just outside of Plymouth.<\/p>\n

Your Photographer<\/h3>\n

After seeing Grace\u2019s work in a wedding magazine and Instagram we knew that her style was how we wanted our day to be captured, so we booked her as our first supplier. We received our photos from Grace and were blown away with the exceptional quality of photos she produced. She captured so many special moments for us that we didn\u2019t even get to experience on the day which made them even more extraordinary.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

Bride \u2013 The Wedding Company, Plympton (Brand: Enchanted)<\/p>\n

I tried on several different dresses from Madi Lane as this is what I initially envisioned (floral, tulle dresses) but decided this didn\u2019t fit my shape or the venue as they were too fairytale\/whimiscal. As soon as I saw my dress I knew it was the one, as the lace crepe style and sweeping train was more suited to the venue.<\/p>\n

All my hair accessories and jewellery were white gold and emeralds to match my engagement ring. This was an heirloom from Luke\u2019s grandmother, and was really important for us to be incorporated as her birth stone was emerald, which is the same as mine and Luke\u2019s other grandmother. Both unfortunately passed before our wedding.<\/p>\n

Groom \u2013 The Grooms Room, Plympton (Brand: Peter Posh)<\/p>\n

I choose the suit to best match our venue. I initially wanted a whole tweed suit but decided against as the venue wasn\u2019t very country and due to the time of year a 3-piece wool suit would have been too much. Instead, I choose a navy suit with a light tweed waistcoat which was better suited to the venue.<\/p>\n

The cravat and pocket handkerchief colour was chosen to match the main green and foliage of the colour palette.<\/p>\n

The Styling & Decor<\/h3>\n

All styling and d\u00e9cor was all designed with the theme in mind. (Green, Foliage, White Floral, Simple, Elegant). Some of the more personal d\u00e9cor we did DIY such as signage, table plans<\/a>, table numbers, name place settings, memory board, card box.<\/p>\n

All of our favours we bought from MacMillan Cancer Support in memory of family members we have lost to cancer. All other d\u00e9cor and styling was done by other suppliers listed below.<\/p>\n

Advice For Other Couples<\/h3>\n

You do you. Don\u2019t let anyone push you into booking\/doing anything \u2018traditional\u2019 thing you are not comfortable with. We did not have any stag\/hen do\u2019s, first dance and speeches.<\/p>\n
