Sarah and Sam met at Launceston College in Cornwall where they were both in the same tutor group from year seven onwards. “We became a couple during our second year of university,” Sarah tells us. Sam proposed to Sarah underneath the archway in the Queen Mother’s Rose Garden at RHS Garden Rosemoor in Devon during a romantic proposal and the couple started planning their church ceremony and navy-themed reception. SETTING THE SCENE “We chose our church, St John the Baptist Church, Stowford and our reception venue which was the Roadford Lake Cafe because both were set in such beautiful locations,” the couple tell us. “Our ceremony was wonderful and a memorable moment for us both.” Sarah and Sam decided on an elegant navy theme which was reflected in their choice of reception décor. “We had white roses, which we also had in our bouquets, and blue hydrangeas and gypsophila in our table centrepieces and named the tables after our favourite places in Devon and Cornwall,” they tell us. “Our statement three-tier textured buttercream cake that was decorated with faux flowers and a Mr & Mrs Hatch topper took centre stage!” 37 REAL WEDDINGS
