While there are more colour options than there are colours in the rainbow, some effective combinations typically get overlooked. Various shades of one hue are popular, as are themes with analogous colours, such as green-blue or plum-red themes, but many are timid about trying a complementary theme. Complementary colours are those that oppose each other on the colour wheel, like red-green or yellow-purple. Opposing colours in pastels shades can be strikingly effective for weddings. Consider rose and sage green, lilac with pale yellow, or sky blue and apricot. Use one of the colours predominantly, the other as accent.

One of the most overlooked aspects of a wedding is lighting. Yet, effective lighting can not only make the bride look her best, but can create the right atmosphere for the ceremony, as well as set the perfect mood for the wedding reception. Ceremonies and receptions held in marquees, especially, need careful lighting to establish the correct ambience. Soft light is the most flattering for the bride and groom and their guests. Lighting designers not only provide illumination for visibility, but illumination for atmosphere, with everything from crystal chandeliers to equipment that will project the couple’s intertwined initials onto the reception dance floor.

Less elaborate – and less costly – lighting effects can be achieved with candles, LEDs or by stringing white wire lights – all will cast a gentle light throughout the venue. For venues with glass windows, imbue your colour scheme with light with this clever faux-stained glass effect. Purchase photography gels from a photo supply store. Simply press them against the glass – they will cling of their own accord. Fit the gels into individual panes of glass, or cut them into shapes of your own design.

Small weddings can be accommodated within their tearoom, which seats 40 people. For larger affairs, a marquee is set up to cover the charming courtyard area. The Farm offers full catering services.

When considering a more extravagant affair, Pentille Castle, located near Plymouth and Saltash, offers their entire estate at your disposal. The castle gained some recognition when the owners participated in Channel 4’s Country House Rescue series. Now Sarah and Ted Coryton have turned their attention into operating the estate as a Bed and Breakfast establishment, and as a venue for weddings and receptions as well.

When hosting weddings at the estate, the Corytons reserve the entire space for the wedding party. Couples often say their vows on the banks of the River Tamar, with receptions held either informally on the grounds of the estate, or in a marquee. The Castle dining room seat 60 guests.
