With lockdown measures still in full force and weddings now postponed until later in the year or next year, we are finding ourselves in a place of exploring new ideas and ways of offering couples advice and help when they cannot visit us. One idea that we thought of is to create a series of podcast style videos for you, chock full with wedding advice, hints and tips while you use this time in planning your own wedding.
We want to share what we know and help make the journey a little easier for you,  inspire you for your own day and who better to do this that our weddings team!

Here is our first video! Meet Jess and Cathryn two of our wedding planners who, along with Anna, if you get married at Knightor, will help you in your planning. From initial enquiry and listening to your dream plans to helping you with the small details and logistics such as how much wine to order and you're timings as well as on the day support.

With many years of experience between them, they really have seen it all and are a font of knowledge that can help you with your wedding planning. 
They wanted to share some of their insights over a series of podcasts, starting with what is undoubtably the most important choice when it comes to planning your wedding (apart from choosing each other!), choosing your venue.

​Whilst Cathryn will be starting with us on the 1st May, Jess is available if you would like to have a natter with her. You can contact her on [email protected] if you would like to as her any questions or get some more advice.

​We hope you enjoyed and would love your feedback on what you would like to hear from us. Do get in touch and let us know what you think! Next week we will be sharing some of our ideas for bringing more Cornwall to your wedding, wherever you are getting married!

The tradition of leaving wedding guests favours is a long standing one, originally called 'bonbonnieres' and it used to be that couples would leave small trinket boxes for guests containing sugar cubes. The price of sugar at the time was very high and as sugar became less expensive, the tradition of giving almonds replaced the cubes of sugar. The significance of a bonbonniere was to share good wishes to a new way of life. In the 13th century this then evolved to sugar coated almonds (called confetti) and this eventually became a tradition of giving 5 sugared almonds representing health, wealth, fertility, longevity and happiness.

A Cornish wedding doesn't HAVE to take place in Cornwall but it's a good place to start! 

Your wedding party size, budget and venue requirements are important to think about, then choosing the WHERE is the fun part.
