felt right,” Phoebe says. “It was small and intimate, allowing us to share the day with our closest loved ones. The team thought about every little detail and allowed us to focus on what was important.” The couple were able to stay on-site along with their family members who stayed in Rose Cottage which is home to a six-person hot tub in the garden. This extended their celebration and allowed everybody to enjoy a luxury holiday. Phoebe and Greg’s family members were present at the couple’s ceremony that took place in the summerhouse. “It was so emotional, especially when reading the vows we wrote for each other,” Phoebe tells us. “We enjoyed some cake together afterwards which was a vegan design made by Lizzie at The North Devon Baker who provided a variety of tasty options for my dietary requirements. The finished cake tasted delicious made with lemon buttercream and lemon curd topped with fresh berries.” The couple’s guests then retired to their accommodation while Phoebe and Greg had a private dinner in the summerhouse catered by Justine Wood. “The team at Millbrook Estate transformed the beautiful space with fairylights and candles and it felt wonderful to sit together as a married couple for the first time and enjoy delicious food in the space that we had taken our vows in, with our loved ones, just a few hours earlier,” Phoebe tells us. LOOKING THE PART “I wore the dress called Kim by Monsoon with a lace square neck,” Phoebe tells us. Millbrook Estate is a quiet and nature-inspired venue so we wanted our outfit choices plus the flowers to be reflective of that. I had tried on dresses in wedding shops but this classic and timeless style felt right.” Greg wore his Royal Air Force Ceremonial Dress with an RAF commissioned officer sword. “His life in the RAF has shaped our relationship,” Phoebe tells us. “We have been together from the moment he applied, through all of his training and to him now being a frontline squadron and we felt this was too important a part of our journey to not include in our wedding day.” “Michelle Ley, our fabulous photographer took some cute photos of us with the cats at Millbrook Estate.” - Phoebe and Greg 40
