Magical Turquoise Beach Wedding in Devon with a Charlie Brear Dress | Whimsical Wonderland Weddings

WWW readers Rita and Craig chose the most idyllic and magical location for their October nuptials. Tunnels Beaches in North Devon is settled in the rugged coastline with breathtaking views.

Rita and Craig wanted their day to be relaxed and fun whilst reflecting their love of animals, having a vegetarian menu and sweet animal details in their décor. They chose a palette of blues and turquoise, with their bridesmaids in mismatched dresses and blue lanterns hung above. There were wild blooms home-grown by family and I spy some fab Alphabet Bags.

Rita donned a stunning dress by Charlie Brear with a hairpiece by Jenny Packham while Craig wore a woven jacket, vegetarian shoes and fun animal tie. Perfect.

Thanks so much to the wonderful Marianne Taylor for sharing her photographs with us today.

I love the sea so finding Tunnels Beaches was like a dream come true. We are both animal lovers so all the food was vegetarian and we had an animal theme where all the tables had an animal name and each guest had a place card with their name and an animal fact written both in English and Spanish so guests had something to talk about!.

The colour theme was a range of teals/turquoise blues/creams and all the decorations, balloons, lanterns, garlands, ribbons were carefully chosen in that range of colours.

The Venue...The Tunnels Beaches in Ilfracombe, it is the most magical wonderful place we could have dreamed of for our wedding, when we visited it was love at first sight, the sea, the rocks, the tunnels, it really is amazing. The staff are super helpful and went out of their way to make sure everything ran smoothly, lots of friendly smiles and things got done without us even noticing!

I found my shoes in a wonderful shop in Bilbao called Lula, they are Chie Mihara's in a pretty dusty pink.

My headpiece was from Jenny Packham and I wore my grandmother's pearls as a bracelet so she could be there with me in spirit.

For the guests assembling we chose Yo La Tengo's "Let's Be Still". For walking down the aisle the beautiful Tom Waits' "Little Trip to Heaven (On The Wings of Your Love)". Ralph Vaughan Williams' "The Lark Ascending" performed by Nigel Kennedy for the signatures. And finally Neil Diamond's "We" for the grand exit!

We used BerinMade wonderful stamp with our names for the wedding favours and envelopes. The beautiful Welcome wedding sign was from First Snow Fall.

All our friends worked so hard to help out with the decorations in the morning, it would have been impossible without them, thank you all!

Advice for Other Couples... Enjoy, enjoy and enjoy! Don't worry about small details you haven't managed to finish, nobody will even notice!! Plan things as thoroughly as you can beforehand, but on the day just make sure you savour every moment, it really is a once in a lifetime feeling to be able to share all the love you have for each other with your loved ones, friends and family.
