IN CORNWALL Created Luxury Cornish wedding venue Tredudwell Manor provided the beautiful backdrop for Bekki and Matt’s timeless big day Images courtesy of Dan Ward Photography Bekki and Matt met in a pub surrounded by mutual friends. “I felt an immediate spark for Matt,” Bekki tells us. “Afterwards, we kept running into each other before beginning a relationship, and after 18 months, we became engaged during a trip to London while visiting the Sky Garden.” Tredudwell Manor was the very first venue the couple viewed. “Hayley, the wedding coordinator, really impressed us with her helpful and informative manner,” Bekki explains. “After visiting other Cornish venues, we both realized that nothing compared to what Tredudwell Manor had to offer with its spectacular grounds and meticulous attention to detail.” Bekki and Matt’s wedding date was May 10, 2025. “The most memorable moment of the day was walking down the aisle and catching my first glimpse of Matt,” Bekki tells us. “As soon as our eyes met, we were both overcome with emotion.” Bekki and Matt wanted a classic wedding infused with romantic charm. “We had candles as our centrepieces along with gold cutlery, and we filled the venue with fresh floral arrangements,” Bekki says. Guests enjoyed delicious canapés, a beautifully presented three-course, sit-down wedding breakfast incorporating Bekki and Matt’s favourite dishes and a barbecue buffet during the evening. “This was a hit with our guests,” Bekki says. “The finishing touch was our fabulous five-tier cake that made a stunning centrepiece and tasted great. We couldn’t have asked for a better culinary experience!” Bekki chose a Millie Grace A-line lace dress featuring a stunning golden underlay. “As soon as I slipped into it, I knew it was the style for me,” she tells us. “It was the third dress that I tried on, and the moment I saw my reflection in the mirror, I was overcome with emotion. When I revealed it to my mother, grandmother, and aunt, they were all moved to tears.” Matt wore a beige suit with a gold waistcoat, while his groomsmen wore identical suits to his with plain waistcoats. “Our beautiful bridesmaids wore pale blue full-length, halterneck dresses,” Bekki says. “My bridesman coordinated with them in a pale blue suit, and they all had pretty soft pink bouquets and buttonholes.” The couple ensured their guests were thoroughly entertained throughout their special day. “We hired lawn games that delighted the children,” Bekki says. “Arian Ward captivated everyone with his impressive magic tricks, leaving our guests in awe. We also arranged for Cornwall Caricaturists to be present throughout the day, creating delightful illustrations. For our evening reception, we had an exceptional disco complemented by a photo booth and a S’mores bar. To conclude the night, we treated our guests to a stunning fireworks display, which everybody loved.” REAL WEDDINGS 19
