A Guide To Spectacular Weddings In Devon

If you are thinking of Devon as the county for planning your wedding, you’ve chosen well so far! It is certainly full of character and charm. You will find you’re spoilt for choice as far as scenery is concerned - with rolling green hills in every direction, spectacular coastline, clotted cream teas and picture perfect thatched cottage villages with quaint churches never far from view. What’s more, you can still find places where time appears to have stood still. Villages with real-life ‘Ma and Pa Larkin’ characters enjoying the country life, and where good old-fashioned values and friendly neighbourhoods thrive.

Capturing The Essence of All That’s Good About Devon.
Some Devon weddings look to focus on this as a theme in the summer months, echoing these idyllic traditional values throughout the entire day. This is a strong idea that also allows you to maximise on the opportunity of using the very best fresh local food from local suppliers too. Think homemade biscuit wedding favours, cream teas on the lawn, pretty china cups and tablecloths, with only the cows to consider as you party into the night at your Country House hotel. The theme of your wedding will definitely be influenced by your chosen location. Finding the right Devon wedding venue is the most important decision. Did you have a coastal or country wedding venue in mind?

Flowers Make Weddings
Flowers are everything and a staple of all weddings. Check out the latest floral trends from the leading florists to make sure your arrangements are just as stylish and fashionable as your dress. Echo seasonality in your choice of flowers for the Wedding. Just like a chef includes seasonality on the food menu, using the best seasonal blooms available for your wedding day makes sense from every angle.

Pampering Yourself
There’s no better excuse than preparing for your wedding day to indulge and pamper yourself. As an antidote to the usual ‘Hen’ party antics, spend the day at a local spa with a few well-chosen friends. Not only can you expect a ravishingly relaxing experience, you and your ‘Hens’ can grab yourself a gorgeous glow in time for the big day. Relax with some soothing treatments during the day – then perhaps enjoy a glass of fizz or two and some food or tasty nibbles.

Choosing the Best Wedding Venues in Devon
You may well have fallen in love with the location and cosmetic look of a wedding reception venue, however does the food live up to the location? Choosing the perfect wedding venue and having access to the very best chefs sounds easier than you may think. Look out for long-standing reputations, check out the top review websites and ask about the provenance of the chef and the whole kitchen brigade who will be responsible for creating your wedding menu. What fresh ideas can they bring to the table?

Taking Care of your Guests
Country sports such as fly-fishing, clay pigeon shooting and riding are great ways for the groom’s party to have some fun. This could also provide your wedding guests who arrive the day before with some interesting activities as part of the wedding weekend. Ask what your wedding reception venue can suggest or organise on your behalf for your wedding guests.
