The magic of Cornwall: cliff-top weddings by the sea

June 1, 2015 · 3 Comments

Plan your dream wedding in Cornwall. Click through for our recommendations for venues & vendors!

Over the years I’ve been so lucky to return to Cornwall over and over again for some of my favourite weddings, I have to pinch myself when I think that I will be living there permanently, and that these sort of affairs will be ‘the norm’! Cornwall offers many spectacular wedding venues with stunning sea views,  gorgeous beach receptions, and cliff top wedding options like Trevose Head, which is my idea of wedding paradise. Here are some of my favourite memories from Cornish weddings.
