Jenny And Sean's Real Summer Wedding At Priston Mill

Why Did You Choose Priston Mill As Your Wedding Venue? 

Priston Mill was actually the first venue we visited, I remember it so clearly my Husband and I just looked at each other as we walked up to the Mill and instantly knew this was it. We knew this was our place. We had been going back and forth for a while with how to have our wedding as we just wanted something that was relaxed and fun with our loved ones, and nothing too formal. 

Choosing Priston Mill was honestly the best decision we could have made and couldn't have been more ‘us!’. Everything about it was perfect, I am so pleased we went with this venue. 

The Mill itself is such a stunning building. Even better in person, we got married in June when all the flowers were in full bloom, the garden was so beautiful, it was just perfect! Especially as we were lucky enough to have the ceremony outside.

For our Meal we went for a BBQ to fit into our relaxed style. The Food was amazing! All of our friends and family loved the food so much and we got so many compliments. We also had pie in the evening and again still have friends talking about that pie to this day! 

The staff at Priston Mill are more than wonderful and really care, my Husband and I naturally shy away from attention, but the venue and staff made us feel so at ease I felt like I had known Katie our event manager for years, I didn't imagine that I would be as calm as I was walking down the aisle and that was definitely credit to Katie! 

We both couldn't praise the team and venue enough; they more than delivered on our expectations!

Tell Us About Your Wedding Dress And The Big Day Fashion?

I found my dress at the loveliest Bridal shop, Silver Sixpence Bridals in Towcester. I was obsessed with one of their dress designers! Rosa Clara. I had been in love with all of her dress designs for ages and the style just felt so me! When I went to view their showroom, they were so friendly and helpful from start to finish. The girls at this store really care and I had the best time with my family sipping on prosecco and finding my dress. 

My dress was actually the first dress I tried on, I got to try on loads of dresses which were all so stunning but I kept coming back to this one, it was the one and it just felt so me! Totally different to what I expected I would go for, but I felt so confident in the dress, it even had little polka dot details on the skirt which I am obsessed with! 

For the suits Sean wanted something nice and relaxed for him and the boys with a country style material, they all looked so good in their suits and they worked perfectly with our style of wedding! We went for a blue theme with the suits and bridesmaid dresses as it's our favourite colour and went so well with the venue's gorgeous blue doors! 

I got the girls' dresses from Six Stories, it was such an easy process and they all got to choose the style they wanted but in the same colour, it was great! 



Tell us about your choice of décor?

For our decor we wanted to keep things nice and simple. The building itself was so beautiful I didn't want to take away from that . 

We love Cornwall so much, it was where we got engaged and also where we had our honeymoon, so all the tables were location names in Cornwall which felt lovely and personal to us both.

We went for individual stems in jars for the tables which had a nice and simple effect. For the flowers, we wanted them to look like they had been picked from a garden to give a lovely natural feeling to the day. 



We added some other little touches around the building, including a little pick and mix area which went down.

We also had a little corner with wedding photos of family members who got married before us. We thought it would be a nice touch to make everyone feel included in our day by remembering their special days too. 

Tell us about the photographer? 

Our photographer was honestly one of the best decisions we made for the whole day. James Fear is honestly one of the nicest, most energetic people we have met. He brought such a fun energy to our wedding; the day wouldn't have been the same without him!

Everyone still talks about him today and what a great photographer he was! He instantly puts everyone at ease and makes the photos so enjoyable for everyone involved! 



The whole wedding party instantly fell in love with him! I love looking back at our photos he captured the day so perfectly, the pure happiness and fun from the day is bursting out of all of them. Every time we look at them we feel like we are reliving those moments! Thank you James for making our day so awesome! 



What Was The Best Part Of Your Day?

We really struggle to pick one moment. When people say that your wedding is the best day, they really do mean it! The love and fun we had all day is just the best feeling in the world.

The whole day is full of our favorite memories, from seeing Sean's face as I walked down the aisle, getting married of course! Hearing all the beautiful heartfelt speeches and dancing the night away. We were on cloud nine all day with everyone we love around us. 

A massive highlight for us was definitely bouncing on space hoppers in a field with a herd of sheep running behind us. Yes that is correct ! The last thing both of us expected to do on our wedding day, but one of the funniest moments! The photos speak for themselves. We had so much fun! 



Do You Have Any Words Of Advice For Other Couples Who Are In The Planning Stages Of Their Wedding?

My advice for the planning side of things would be to get on top of the organising early like we did so the week leading up to the wedding you can just relax more and enjoy each other's company. I am honestly so grateful we did it this way. I am normally a bit of a perfectionist, but I put that person on the shelf for the weekend of our wedding and just went with the flow. 

The best advice we were given was to not lose each other all day and soak up every moment around you, we kept our wedding small and intimate with all our favourite people, so it was pretty easy not to lose each other but we genuinely stuck together pretty much the whole day. 

We had our little moments individually throughout the day with best friends and family but we naturally would find each other again after 10 mins or so.  It's definitely the best advice I was given. The whole point of the day is to enjoy it together so spend it together and soak it all in with each other. 

We also found a moment just to step aside from everyone and soak it all in, I am so grateful we did! 



Thank you so much Jenny and Sean for sharing your special day with us!
