Overlooking Combe Martin Bay on the north Devon coast near Ilfracombe, Sandy Cove boasts the most beautiful oceanside position - here providing the perfect backdrop for a specially styled seasonal shoot.
Purpose-built and exclusive-use, The Venue at Sandy Cove is a stunning space for weddings of all seasons. The licensed outside gazebo presides over the spectacular bay and hills beyond, allowing couples to wed outdoors by a glass-wrapped platform jutting out over the cliffs. Meanwhile, the fully-licensed beautiful indoor space comes with bi-fold doors to welcome the sea breeze along with those uninterrupted and utterly jaw-dropping views. With magnificent menus created by the award-winning kitchen, a host of on-site luxury accommodation, and packages tailored to each couple's requirements, a Sandy Cove wedding truly is the stuff of wedding dreams.
While The Venue's natural palette provides a cool, pared-back aesthetic, the decor is used within the shoot to striking effect to both accentuate and contrast with the natural look and feel of the space, from boho-inspired pampas grass and peacock chairs to the cream coloured blooms and statement flower wall.
A subtle hint of glamour and frivolity is infused via silver accents and disco ball features, while the warm glow of candlelight and retro-style light letters provides the perfect atmospheric touch. The bride's off-the-shoulder sweetheart gown oozes old-school romance, while her beau is a picture of classic-meets-contemporary groom's style with a light sage suit and dark green two-piece with dried flower boutonierre. A semi-naked cake, delicate jewellery, stunning stationery, and textural decor completes the romantic winter scene with a free-spirited wild edge.
