Ready for the seriously beautiful Stennack Farm<\/a> wedding of WWW followers Mollie and Sophie? It’s filled to the brim with love, fun and so many thoughtful touches.<\/p>\n

They were wed in the Cornwall<\/a> countryside, near to the beach where they had the most<\/em> amazing seaside portraits. Then there were the gorgeous dried flowers, the autumnal colour scheme<\/a> and the stylish attire.<\/p>\n

Their wedding menu<\/a> sounded epic too, with pizza, burgers, doughnuts, sweets, a dessert table and sausage rolls for guests. Yum<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Thanks ever so much to Hannah Barnes Photography<\/a> for sharing with us these fantastic shots of such a love-filled day.<\/p>\n

Mollie On WWW<\/em><\/p>\n

I (Mollie) am a follower of WWW and have used lots of the weddings<\/a> as inspiration. As a wedding photographer also, I have had a wedding featured so I absolutely love the vibes of WWW. It allowed me to see similarities of the vision I had in my head to help me style our wedding and read about other couples experiences.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stennack Farm Wedding<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Sophie proposed down by the sea near Pedngwinian Point in Cornwall<\/strong>. I thought we were heading down to the beach on a sunny evening after a not-so-great day, however, Sophie had other ideas.<\/p>\n

We decided to stop just before we got to Gunwalloe, the beach I thought we were going to, and instead, we went for a walk along the cliff where we had an amazing view of the Cornish coastline. After walking for a little bit I realised Sophie wasn\u2019t right behind me and in fact she had stopped and got down on one knee and of course I said yes and we watched the sun go down as we rang our families to tell them the amazing news!<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

We are both big country music fans so we knew we wanted something along the country theme<\/strong> and we wanted as much outdoors as we could. We also knew that our two dogs Erni (Frenchie) and Sancho (Boxer) would have to play a massive part!<\/p>\n

I always knew I wanted the terracotta<\/strong> colour to be a feature and I loved the look of dried flowers! Other than that we just kind of went with the flow!<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

We didn\u2019t really have much of a budget in mind but we came to the conclusion that we didn\u2019t want to spend much more than \u00a310,000<\/strong>. We overspent by \u00a3600 but after a few additions of crazy golf and sausage rolls, we knew it was money well spent. <\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

We first viewed Stennack Farm<\/strong> in 2020 when it had just been built. The electrics weren\u2019t in and the floor hadn\u2019t gone down yet but we just knew it was where we wanted to get married. The barn look was exactly what we wanted and the outside was perfect for our vision of everyone relaxing with a few drinks. <\/p>\n

It was also only a short drive to the beach which we knew was a deal breaker as that\u2019s where we wanted to have our couple photos. <\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

My wedding dress was from Wed2B<\/strong>. When my mum, sister and I went wedding dress shopping I had a very clear idea of what I wanted in my head (it isn\u2019t what I ended up with). As we walked past the window and into the shop, my sister saw a dress in the window and said I had to try it on, even though it wasn\u2019t the style I wanted.<\/p>\n

Reluctantly I asked if the dress from the window could be added to the 4 other dresses I had chosen to try on. I tried the window dress on first and I knew instantly that it was the one for me – I didn\u2019t want to take it off!<\/p>\n

I also wore white vans<\/strong> with a pride rainbow on the sole. I knew I wanted to be comfy and these were perfect! <\/p>\n

For my jewellery<\/strong>, my mum handmade me some earrings using the pearls and crystals from her veil when she got married 26 years ago. I also had a bangle made locally in Cornwall that also had a pearl and crystal from my mum’s veil. <\/p>\n

Sophie knew that she wanted to be comfortable but didn\u2019t like the suit or dress traditions. So instead she paired some black trousers with a black t-shirt and wore a Ralph Lauren jacket<\/strong> over the top. <\/p>\n

She wore black Nike<\/strong> slip ons which are her all-time favourite shoe with some personalised socks with mine and the dog’s faces on. <\/p>\n

I was all in white and Sophie was all in black. <\/p>\n

We decided to wear the same perfume<\/a> so that we both had a bit of each other with us all day even if we were both in different areas. We wore Valentino Voce Viva<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

After a forecast of rain, we had to change our original plan of getting married outside on the grass to getting married inside.  On the day of our wedding, the forecast completely changed and the sun stayed out all day so we kept with our indoor ceremony but opened the double French doors and brought the outside in!<\/p>\n

We had 2 readings<\/a> in our ceremony from our niece and my sister which were the perfect personal touches we wanted. <\/p>\n

We had 3 important songs that we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony:<\/p>\n
