The Italian Terrace could fool you of its Devon location on Spring & Summer days like these ☀️ 📸 @clarekinchinphotography #coombetrenchardweddings #coombetrenchard #devonweddingvenue #westcountrywedding #ukwedding #countryhousewedding #weddingvenuesearch #springwedding #summerwedding #engageduk

✨ C r o w n e d ✨ The coronation events of the last week had us thinking about some of the gorgeous bridal ‘crowns’ worn over the years and particularly Btari’s bespoke flower headpiece from her wedding to Elliot last April. This bespoke jasmine, orchid and frangipani masterpiece from @claireaustinengland was created to honour Btaris Indonesian heritage and to pay tribute to the women in her life who wore similar headpieces before her on their wedding day. A truly stunning way to include personal tradition and culture into your wedding day 🌸 📸 @venetianorrington #crowned #bridalcrown #bridalheadpiece #bridalheadband #bridestyle #claireaustinengland #devonwedding #2022wedding #weddingstyle #coombetrenchard #coombetrenchardweddings #ukwedding #devonwedding

✨ C h i l d F r i e n d l y ✨ It could be the impending arrival of our newest grandchild, or all the lovely children at our most recent wedding but something sparked a memory about this precious photo from L & S’s wedding last year. Isn’t it wonderful? Having children at weddings is not for everyone and we understand that. However for those that desire or wish to accommodate little people at their wedding day, we are set up to make it as easy as possible: • Quiet spaces for little ones to take a nap • Guest wifi for any baby monitors • Long stretching gardens to burn off energy and play hide & seek • High chairs and a travel cot should they be required • Comfortable changing areas Please do not hesitate to get in touch should you have any queries about children at your wedding day and we would be happy to talk you through your options. 📸 @clarekinchinphotography #childfriendlywedding #childfriendlyweddingvenue #babyfriendlywedding #weddingdecisions #weddingstyles #ukweddingvenue #weddingvenuedevon #childrenatweddings #coombetrenchardweddings #coombetrenchard #yourweddingday #laidbacklove

✨ I n F u l l B l o o m ✨ We are preparing for our first wedding of the year taking place on Monday, so thought it timely to look back on the same from 2022. Leah bloomed in her unique floral embroidered gown as she prepared for her elopement to her love, Edward. These images from @venetianorrington capture the details of this stunning gown beautifully 🌸 #coombetrenchardweddings #coombetrenchard #elopementwedding #elopementvenue #devonweddingvenue #countryhouseelopement #uniqueweddingdress #unwedding #floralgown #embroideredweddingdress #weddingstyle #laidbacklove

✨ S h o w e r e d w i t h L o v e ✨ These April showers have us reminiscing and swooning over this moment of Liv & Andy’s beautiful confetti shower after their ceremony in the Main Hall. Adorned with umbrellas and smiles, they were showered with love from their guests in this special confetti runway. The perfect balance of sunshine and rain really does make the gardens burst into the most stunning shades of green, which was perfect for the couples emerald toned styling and of course, the Larch Walk shot 🌿 📸 @clarekinchinphotography #coombetrenchardweddings #westcountrywedding #devonweddingvenue #devonwedding #weddinginspiration #weddinginspo #engaged #weddingstyling #rainyweddingday #showeredwithlove #UKweddings #countrysidewedding #weddingplanning #uniqueweddingvenue #countryhousewedding #exclusivehire #realweddingfeature #weddingphotography #laidbacklove #uniquewedding #weddingstyle

✨ T a b l e S t y l i n g ✨ British Summertime arriving this week feels like a welcome relief, opening the door to beautiful transformations of the garden and grounds when blossoms & buds burst and everything feels a lot more green! It had us thinking about table decor and how sometimes, a simple runner, some beautiful florals and mismatched crockery can be so transformative and so personal to a couple. Effortlessly beautiful. It is one of our favourite parts of getting wedding day ready. This picture was taken from L&S’s wedding last year by @clarekinchinphotography and it has us excited for the season ahead! #tabledecor #tabletransformation #tablestyling #effortlessbeauty #weddingdaystyling #weddinginspiration #countryhousewedding #devonweddingvenue #coombetrenchard #coombetrenchardweddings

✨ S p r i n g ✨ It has now officially sprung and for us, this initiates the start of the wedding season after a period of recharge and reflection. The gardens are fuelled by the Spring showers and the dappled sunlight and warmer temperatures are feeding the blooms as daffodils and bluebells appear in the woodland. A perfect time to welcome @katiewoods_bridal to the venue to shoot her beautiful new collection of gowns, jumpsuits and separates. Katie Woods offers “sustainable British bridal wear, made to last. Understated designs made to be restyled and worn again ensuring no dress gets left alone in the attic.” Living close by to Coombe a Trenchard and having got married at the venue a couple of years ago, it was wonderful to welcome Katie back to showcase her ethical collection.
