Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - September/October 2022 (Issue 39)

I chose loose beachy waves for my hairstyle with a few bits pinned back to create a half-up, half-down look. My handmade Cathedrallength veil featured ocean pearls which were so elegant. For the evening reception, I swapped my veil for a handmade white flower crown. I loved it so much that I wore it every day on our honeymoon and at 2 am going to the airport! My younger brother Harrison, who is 18, walked me down the aisle which was so special because Henry and Harrison are close. Not only did Upton Barn & Walled Garden have a contemporary barn feel that we wanted, but the ceremony area was also beautiful inside and out! The walled garden was like a fairytale – it was my dream setting to get married in. Top tip: “Make sure that you take it all in, it’s the most incredible day but it goes by fast so make sure that you both enjoy every second.” - Jessica and Henry I started getting ready at 5 am with my seven brid esmaids in the new Paddock area at the venue. Our make-up and hair artists loved the location with all of its amenities. “The meal was delicious! Our caterers Pickle Shack did us proud. Our guests were well fed with chicken thighs, filo-wrapped feta parcels, pollock and roasted potatoes and vegetables with a mouthwatering cheesecake that many of our guests loved!” - Jessica We visited a few venues around Devon. Upton Ba rn & Walled Garden was the first one that we visited and both fell in love with, none of the others compared! 36
