Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - November/December 2025 (Issue 58)

Tyler and Ryan met through mutual friends at a pub in Helston and enjoyed a dog walk at Cornwall’s Rinsey Cove as their first date. “Ryan surprised me with a candlelit proposal in August 2023 at home,” Tyler tells us. “I had no idea and had just returned from football training in the rain!” The couple chose The Alverton, a picturesque hotel in the heart of Cornwall, as their venue. “The stunning gardens and architecture attracted us both immediately, and we booked it straightaway after having a viewing with Alex,” Tyler tells us. The inspiration behind the couple’s wedding theme was a Marc Jacobs perfume advert. “I chose blush pink blooms, gypsophila and large daisies,” Tyler says. “Pinterest became my best friend, and I found an image of a tablescape with a sage green runner and multiple candles at varying heights, which I wanted to recreate with a blush pink runner. The simple gypsophila flowers complemented the daisies beautifully.” A highlight of their day was walking into the great hall for the wedding breakfast and seeing how their vision had come to life. “We were overwhelmed with the love in the room from all of our family and friends gathered there,” says Tyler. On the day, guests enjoyed tomato soup or antipasti to start, followed by roast chicken or roast beef, and lemon tart or sticky toffee pudding for dessert. “We had a snack wall for our guests to enjoy after our ceremony,” Tyler tells us. “During TOP TIP: Pay for as much as you can upfront to put your mind at ease in the lead-up to the day, and always select things for your wedding based on your gut instinct.” - Tyler and Ryan 26
