Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - July/August 2022 (Issue 38)

HOT TOPIC Our experts answer your questions GREAT CORNISH GETAWAY We want to combine a mini-moon and babymoon in Cornwall, where do you suggest? Meet the experts: Carbis Bay Holidays, based in St Ives, provide luxury hand-picked self-catering holiday cottages, perfect for a staycation mini-moon in the region, a relaxing hen weekend or a babymoon getaway which in Cornwall alone, has seen a 100% increase in Google searches this year. The idea of a babymoon is to spend quality time as a duo before becoming a trio and many couples are looking for a staycation spot if it’s a double celebration and wedding bells are also on the horizon. Carbis Bay Holidays provide the perfect base. Belyars Penthouse offers a luxurious stay in St Ives. The property is flooded with natural light through its large floor-to-ceiling windows and the balcony, which acts as a suntrap, showcases breathtaking panoramic sea views while the open-plan layout provides a home-from-home feel. The cosy cottage named Whistler is ideal for those escaping during the winter months. This three-bedroom Victorian house has been lovingly rebuilt, preserving its original features. Positioned on the ground floor, the Coast apartment boasts mesmerising maritime views across St Ives Bay to the Godrevy lighthouse and comes with complimentary spa passes while others feature decked terraces and open-plan living areas. Last but certainly not least, the one-bedroom contemporary Hepworth apartment is only a short walk away from the town centre and Porthmeor Beach with a private patio and far-reaching views. There’s no need to leave your fur baby at home with this property because it’s pet friendly.

Meet the experts: The Sensory Area based in Penzance provides playful activities for all ages using lawn games and hand-crafted rustic props made from recycled wood. Owner Adele Stevens was inspired after spotting some outdoor games for sale which she decided to re-create on a larger scale. The Sensory Area also offer signage and light-up numbers and LOVE letters. Adele says: Traditional outdoor garden games such as dominoes provide hours of fun for everyone at any gathering, especially at a wedding. They offer a connection between people that digital games can’t. When you’re attending big events like weddings, it can be quite daunting for some children and adults but this is where games come in, creating a relaxed atmosphere. With the help of local craftsmen, I have assembled an impressive collection of sustainable games including dominoes, skittles, ring toss and boules and we’re always seeking to add more to our collection.
