Engagement Story

A surprise sea plane trip over Sydney harbour to arrive at a floating house, all sounds too good to be true? It was. The floating house was double booked! Luckily, we found ourselves somewhere else to stay and enjoyed a sunset walk to a little beach in the Pittwater basin.

Theme/Inspiration for Your Wedding

Chloe and Ed celebrate their wedding on Rock Beach, Cornwall
Ben Wigglesworth

Having lived in Sydney for the last 5 years, and being on the beautiful Cornish coast, we wanted to bring a rustic relaxed beach vibe to our wedding. Wherever possible, we used local Cornish wedding suppliers - all of whom were amazing!

We hired furniture from Virginia's Vintage Hire to achieve that relaxed, natural coastal look we wanted. We live in Syndey and Cornwall holds a very special place in our hearts, so it felt very personal to have some refined coastal elements intertwined into our day.

My wedding dress was by J.

Shoes were by Loeffler Randall, with a pair of Blundstone boots for walking from church and personalised Golden Goose for dancing! My necklace was by Alex Monroe.

Stand Out Moments

Ben Wigglesworth

Chloe driving through Rock in the wedding golf buggy with her brother and sister, drinks on the beach outside the church with a shanty band, dancing outside under the Cornish sun to the roaming band, all the speeches and the silent disco on Sunday. We were lucky to have lots of people staying in Rock and pottering around all weekend, bumping into guests made it all very special.
