Rob and Anya’s winter wedding at Knightor Winery in Cornwall was so beautiful! A feast for the eyes, so much personality put in every little detail! I love seeing something different in styling and this wedding ticked all the boxes.
Rob and Anya chose the moon part of the theme first, after a quote from the film Labyrinth "I'll place the moon in your heart", then the rest of theme (colours, stars etc) came after Anya found her dress from Glitter Soup. ‘I loved the handpainted details from the Ukrainian maker, and thought having a deep moody celestial setting would suit the time of year as well.’
A lot of the decor was DIY'd, including stationary, signage, the candle sticks etc, or sourced within the UK.
Flowers were all purchased from a Willow Cottage Flowers on Etsy and put together by the bride herself, with some help from Youngest Child Events for the signing table. They looked pretty amazing considering she never made a flower arrangement or bouquet before!
Rob and Anya only wanted a small cozy wedding with those closest to them. Sadly Anya’s maid of honour passed away a few months before the wedding, but she was there in spirit. Knightor is the perfect venue for a small intimate wedding like this. Making sure their guests had amazing food was one of the major plus points. Fancy marshmallows, sparklers and firepits finished the evening cozy vibe.
‘Whilst the mention of eels seems a bit random, it makes sense to Rob and I, as one of our earliest dates was at Ely Eel Festival where Rob took part in the World Eel Throwing Championship (the eels thrown were toy eels!). His magnificent throw didn't make the podium, but pretty much secured his place in my heart’
Loved the cake so much that I cried when saw it in person, and our favourite part of the day was seeing each other at the front of the aisle and reading our own vows.’
I feel honoured to have played a part in this very special day! My first wedding to capture this season and one I will remember for sure.
