Some wedding venues dazzle you from the moment you arrive. Others quietly help you slow down. Here's what it feels like to stand at the front of a wedding at Bickley Mill Inn, tucked away in the Devon countryside.
What happens after the confetti settles? In the first of my One Year On series, I explain why I always catch up with my couples on their first anniversary, and how one couple's heartfelt answers perfectly captured everything their ceremony was really about.
Rachel and Ben's wedding was full of sunshine, laughter and one simple lesson: the most memorable ceremonies don't happen because everything is perfect. They happen because couples trust the planning they've done, the people around them, and give themselves permission to simply be present.
Some wedding venues impress with grandeur. Others quietly invite you to exhale. From rolling Devon hills to a rustic barn filled with laughter, here's what it feels like to stand at the front of a wedding at Dunwell Farm.
"We want to do it... we're just not sure why." It's a phrase I hear surprisingly often when talking to couples about their ceremony. Usually, they're talking about a tradition that's become part of the picture of what a wedding is supposed to look like. And that's where things get interesting. Because tradition and meaning can overlap beautifully — but they're not always the same thing.
Louise and Pete knew from the outset that they didn't want "a white wedding with beige words". Their ceremony at Burrow Farm Gardens was full of humour, heart, loyal friendships and the wonderfully quirky moments that made it unmistakably theirs. Here's a look back at a day that proved your wedding doesn't need to follow tradition to feel deeply meaningful.
There’s an unspoken pressure to perform your wedding ceremony — to say the right things, feel the right emotions, and create a moment for everyone watching. But the most meaningful ceremonies don’t come from performance. They come from presence.
Evie & Dan’s ceremony wasn’t something their guests simply watched — it was something they were part of. From shared vows to rings passed through every hand, this was a wedding rooted in community, connection, and the quiet power of everyday love.
Faye and Amy’s Dartmoor farm wedding was bold, heartfelt, and completely their own. Their ceremony was written in just a week and their day was filled with family, laughter, and deeply personal moments — from a tear-jerking message from their daughter to a beautifully certain “I absolutely bloody do.”
A wedding built on comfort, character and connection, and a reminder you can do marriage your own way.
