Blue Bar Ellie and Jordan

A BEACHY BLUE BAR WEDDING

Ellie and Jordan chose the Blue Bar in Porthtowan as their venue for many reasons. Firstly it's as close to the beach as you can get, which they loved. Their day was super relaxed and the beachy vibe of the venue was very chilled a theme they quickly adopted. It was also very reasonably priced!

"We knew we didn’t want a big wedding and when blue said they hold sixty it made writing that dreaded guest list easier!"

Tim Woolcock Photography

Ellie and Jordan did lots of research before choosing their photographer. Someone once told Ellie that after the wedding you have your rings and photographs. Which makes choosing the right photographer so important.

"We chose Tim Woolcock for the day and we were amazed by his work, it was one of the best decisions we made. We had two meetings with him prior and he gave us advice and guidance! This was so helpful as we were so new to this.

On the day he made us feel relaxed and all our guests said how lovely we was. The pictures were also AMAZING. We got so many compliments I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone."

A RELAXED BEACH WEDDING THEME

Ellie and Jordan chose a relaxed beach theme for their wedding. They also made lots of the decorations and up cycled items such as an old style drinks trolley which they made into a Prosecco station and kept the wedding favours in a vintage suitcase.

"We also had a family friend make a wooden “Evans” sign which was the photo backdrop on the day and now it hangs proudly on my wall with all my wedding pictures"

Kimberly Holland Wedding Hair and Makeup

Ellie chose Kimberly Holland for my wedding hair and makeup and will forever be amazed by her!

I got in touch through Facebook and booked straight away after amazing recommendations!! She made my wedding morning a breeze, she stayed until the very end even getting me in my dress. She was so calm and funny.

We were all giggling. I honestly felt like I was with a family member. My makeup was flawless and I’ve never felt more beautiful (what bride doesn’t want this).

My hair was so pretty and everyone commented on how lovely it looked. I could go on for hours about how amazing she is but all you need to know is you need a Kimberly for your wedding.

The Dress

Ellie's dress was from CoCo Melody an American retailer which custom makes your dress with your measurements.

accessories

She chose her accessories from Etsy.

"I had a floral hairpiece made with dried flowers, it was absolutely beautiful and will last forever.

I also had a matching rose gold necklace and bracelet set, the necklace had my husbands initial engraved on it and the bracelet had my wedding date engraved on the clasp - these will forever be sentimental to me."

favourite part of the day

My favourite part of the day was when the registrar announced ‘we were husband and wife’ it felt like my heart burst with love and happiness.

My husbands fondest memory is celebrating with all of our friends and family and being surrounded by so much support and love."

Top Tip

"My top tip would be, get a pretty wedding planner and write everything down - I did this religiously and planning my wedding was so calm as I felt organised"
