Lucy and Will's Impeccably Styled, Spring Wedding

We are in the very lucky position whereby we get to witness an incredible number of weddings, year after year. We hosted our very first wedding in August 2016 (for the lovely Clare and Julian), and one of the best things for us, is getting to see how each couple puts their stamp and vision on their wedding day. 


The wedding of Lucy and Will in May 2025 will stand out in our minds for a long time to come. As you will see by scrolling through the images in this blog, the style, elegance, beauty and complete wonder of this wedding is off the scale...!

The Couple

The gorgeous Bride and Groom, Lucy and Will! Huge congratuations to you both, it was a complete honour to host your wedding at Rockbeare Manor. 


Will and Lucy will now guide us through their vision and the inspiration for their stunning Spring wedding in Devon ....

The Inspiration

"Beyond being a celebration of our marriage and the most special day of our lives, we wanted our wedding day to reflect our love, our journey together and our personalities. 


We both have outdoor careers in farming and conservation, and we wanted a wedding venue that showcased our passions of nature and the countryside. The surroundings at Rockbeare Manor of the ancient parkland, gardens and wildflower meadow along with the farms in the distance ticked every box for us, and that was before we had even been inside! The grandeur, and elegance of the ceremony spaces in the manor were breathtaking alone but their versatility enabled us to put our own creative spin on the venue and add those personal elements we wanted".

The Vison

"Many of our early dates together and something we still love doing today is watching the sunset and waiting for the night sky to twinkle alive with stars. We wanted to incorporate a subtle celestial theme in our wedding whilst keeping our décor light and fresh for the spring month we were getting married in.


We chose oranges, blushes, peaches and dusty blue colours, a dusk sky, accented with gold across our décor and florals. "

The Details

"Our friends and family were able to experience our very own sky full of stars with a firework display by Sonic Fireworks before ending the evening cosying up next to a log fire and toasting marshmallows.


By including these personal touches, along with working with the best team of suppliers, we were able to create a wedding day that was not only beautiful but memorable and truly represented our unique story."

The Ballroom

"Our table settings consisted of gold beaded charger plates, gold cutlery and gold tealight votives and these were complemented by our signage and stationery which all had little gold stars and moons whilst picking constellations for our table names."

The Suppliers...

Thanks must go to the awesome team of suppliers that made it all happen, including the very talented and all round lovely guy Josh Iskander who was the photographer for the day, Beth at Room for Bloom who brought together the stunning florals, signage and styling, and Claire Arscott Cake Design, who created the amazing cake. It even had an edible gold leaf crescent moon delicately placed on the side!


And not forgetting our brilliant Event Manager, William, who was there all the way through the planning stages with Lucy and Will, and of course on the day itself...... Here he is in action.....(And never too shy to pose for the photographer!!)

Lucy & Will say....

"Thank you making our day so special. We had an amazing day, the weather was beautiful and we couldn't have wished for anything more! 


William, your guidance through the day really put us at ease and managed to keep us calm and in the right places in a way that made the day feel seamless. Every time we needed anything you were there before we even had to ask - it was almost as though you could sense we were about to come and find you!


It’s a real credit to you and the rest of the team that the day went so perfectly. Every single person involved in our day went above and beyond to make us feel special. From our original planning meeting to finding on the day solutions to issues that arose, nothing felt too much whenever we asked.


Finally, a personal thank you from Lucy for not being phased by her crazy planning, spreadsheets or bible! Having a job that requires her to be on the ball all of the time means handing over the reigns doesn’t come naturally but you made us feel that we could trust you & the team at Rockbeare Manor and not worry about anything.


Our wedding exceeded all of our expectations and was truly the best day of our lives!"


All the best

Will & Lucy xxxxx
