My husband and I had been planning our visit back to England for some time. The reason, our sons wedding. This visit we would be spending in the South of England and so we flew into Heathrow Airport, little did we know that this was the busiest weekend in the holiday calendar and the weather? well, typically British, in other words rain, rain and rain.

Not to  be deterred we ventured forward in our hire car, heading for Devon. Where exactly? Ford, Nr Chippenham, Wiltshire.

The White Hart We spent our first night here, a rustic, eclectic pub/hotel.

Castle-Combe Stunning views and so close to the Cotswolds’ and  Castle Coombe,  so picturesque, quaint and full of history. An absolute must for tourists or visitors and the perfect backdrop before we travelled further to Ilfracombe, where the wedding would take place.

The Elmfield holiday house was our home for the next 3 days and nights.

A quick walk into Ilfracombe to check out the wedding venue.

The Tunnels Beaches Ilfracombe North Devon

The Big Day

The tunnels open out into a wedding venue cut into the rock. The backdrop was the cliffs and the ocean.

Here come the bridesmaids. Dresses by Coast in Mint Green

An Ocean Breeze

Ready to take their vows

The stunning bride wore a full length Cream Lace dress with a slight train. The back of the dress was simply beautiful, a plunging V culminating in a satin bow tied at the waist. A cream silk flower band adorned her Rapunzel flowing hair. The Bridegroom looking very dapper in a Blue ‘Mod’ style suit with skinny tie. His watch chain was a gift from his bride.

A beautiful ceremony – they smiled and giggled their way through it. Tears? there were a few!

 

Anyone for Cake?

A perfect ending to a magical day

And now Party Time.
