Bringing the outdoors in to beautiful effect, sand-coloured textiles provide a contrast to the palette of purples, creams, whites and deep greens in this styled shoot at Carbis Bay Estate’s breathtaking new wedding space: the Beach Promenade.
The clear roof marquee on the promenade showcases a sand-between-the-toes party replete with wow-worthy romance. Affording jaw-dropping views of the beach and St Ives Bay-wide seascapes beyond, the marquee is pitched on a prime waterfront position, blending the beautiful outdoors with a stunning indoor area, to high-impact effect.
An abundance of blooms adorns the marquee’s interiors, ranging from palms and festooned foliage to dramatic centrepieces that spill from the tabletops. Tall, tapered arrangements draw the eye upward towards the light, where chandeliers – along with silver candelabras – lend a decadent look to the vintage-feel scene. Clear glassware completes the look, comprising mini vases, votives and beaded charger plates: the epitome of elegance.
The bride conveys the scene’s overarching classic look with an off-the-shoulder sweetheart gown given modern edge with a side slit and strappy gold heels. The groom, meanwhile, oozes timeless dapper style in a velvet tux and patent leather brogues.
As dusk settles, the newlyweds toast their nuptials at the decadent Walter’s Cocktail Bar and Restaurant, returning to find the marquee transformed by twinkling fairy lights and flickering candles. We’re ushered into a party mood of relaxed glamour and magical ambience while awaiting the stars to pulse into view above the ocean.
