Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - Page number 6 - July/August 2021 (Issue 32)

6 T his issue, there has been so much going on in the world and no, I’m not talking about the pandemic! Although on the topic of our Prime Minister Boris Johnson, he got married to his bride, Carrie Symonds, who rented her Christos Costarellos wedding dress which became the inspiration for my eco and sustainable wedding feature this issue. Would you, or wouldn’t you, rent yours? The happy couple then headed to Carbis Bay Estate in Cornwall not for their honeymoon but with other world leaders for the G7 Summit. We reveal all about this coastal retreat and its latest partnership with Moët & Chandon in our packed venue section. Singer Ariana Grande caused an Instagram frenzy recently when she became married in an at-home celebration, coining the term ‘ceremini’ and her beautiful bridal make-up inspired our expert beauty feature this issue. We’ve got plenty more for a staycation summer spent wedding planning now that guest numbers have (finally) increased, from hydrangea-decorated cupcakes (my favourite flowers) to a converted Canadian school bus available to hire for weekend retreats so enjoy the issue and I’ll see you in September!
