Sitting prettily on England's rugged southern tip, Cornwall is renowned for its pristine beaches. But beyond its relaxing coastline and thriving foodie scene, there is a hidden undercurrent of myth and magic. Here is King Arthur country, home to Tintagel Castle, the supposed birthplace of the legendary King, and Camelford, the reputed site of Camelot. Taking inspiration from Cornwall's mythical wonder, you have all the ingredients for hosting an enchanting coastal wedding with a timeless, royal twist.
Embrace the surroundings for timeless nuptials
From sweeping ocean views to the hypnotising lull of lapping waves, Cornwall is a truly enchanting setting for a day of romance. You do not have to indulge in seaside accents and tropical themes to make the most of your wedding venue. Sometimes a simple minimalist style is more than enough to accentuate the surrounding natural beauty. What's more, minimalist and classic wedding aesthetics often age the best. Pared with a breathtaking backdrop of surf, sand, and clifftops, your wedding photos will be one for the ages. Blooms are best for coastal celebrations, adding a touch of elegance to an otherwise down-to-earth. Whether you choose soft, plush pampas grass or rich eucalyptus leaves, the added flush of florals will do wonders.
Elevate your outdoor setting with choice hors d'oeuvres
Cornwall is a mecca for food lovers of every description. From the traditional Cornish pasties and afternoon cream teas to the award-winning cuisine cooked by celebrity chefs, this South West county is teeming with delighting culinary trills. It may come as no surprise the eclectic mix of wedding caterers that reside here. Serving outdoor canapes and light bites is a wonderful way of adding a sophisticated edge to your coastal location. As well as keeping guests satisfied, it also allows you to take those dreamy images safe in the knowledge that your loved ones will be well-paced during cocktail hour.
