Caroline Griffiths Wedding Planning

Feeling excited, overwhelmed, nervous, and anxious all at once? That’s totally normal when planning your wedding! With so many expectations from family, friends, and guests, it can feel like a lot. But here’s the truth: your wedding day isn’t about anyone else—it’s about YOU.

Remember these three things:
1️⃣ It’s YOUR day.
2️⃣ In 10 years, the only person who will truly remember the details is YOU.
3️⃣ The only happiness that matters is YOURS.

It’s easy to feel pressure to make decisions based on what your parents or guests might want, but don’t lose sight of what truly matters. Your wedding should reflect you, your partner, and the love you share—not anyone else’s expectations.

So, take a deep breath, follow your heart, and make the day as uniquely yours as possible. ❤️

Here festures two gorgeous souls on their wedding day in 2021. Their day was all about them and because of this their family and friends had an absolute blast!

Now THAT is a bride who totally owns her bridal entrance! 🙌💪

The crowd went mad when C&J entered their marquee and thanks to they captured this perfectly!

How will you enter your marquee? Maybe you would like to enter to themed music, or guests waving napkins, or maybe it's just not your thing? It's an entrance you won't ever be able to do again so make sure you totally embrace (and milk!) the moment!

It’s my birthday today! After a wonderful trip to Morocco, I’m back and ready to celebrate with my amazing friends and family.

42! (I could have sworn I was still 25?) When I was younger, I thought this was so old. But now I know better. Middle-aged women are nothing short of incredible. With age comes wisdom, strength, confidence, and a lifetime of experiences that make us who we are. Sure, there might be a few more wrinkles and grey hairs, but they’re just the souvenirs of a life well-lived right!

Here’s to embracing age, growing older, wiser, and more unapologetically myself. Cheers to 42 and all the amazing years ahead!

LIVING LIFE ON THE EDGE!

That's exactly what we did for K&H in September last year when they bravely pitched their marquee on the cliff at Talland near looe.

We were fortunately blessed with the weather and the day couldn't have been any more perfect!

Thanks to a friend of theirs for capturing this incredible shot by drone!

10 years ago today, I was that bride – excited, a little nervous, but so ready to marry Mr G!

We tied the knot in a huge cave, surrounded by hundreds of twinkling tea lights. The aisle? Ridiculously long! And yes, I definitely timed my bridal entrance (and made my bridesmaids rehearse it over and over! 🤣).

We skipped the traditional church wedding and opted for a celebrant-led ceremony. Our vows were custom-written, inspired by Game of Thrones (it was the thing back then).

As for the dress… oh, what a story! I was having a bespoke gown made in Australia where we were living at the time, but at my final fitting, it just wasn’t right. So, three months before the wedding, I found another dress – and honestly, it turned out perfectly.

Planning the entire day from overseas was no small feat, but my mum was a superstar. Being half Italian, our guest list started at 160, but after some tough decisions (and opting for a child-free day), we settled on 120. Our priorities were simple: amazing food, flowing wine, and a band that would have everyone dancing. We had Mad Dog Mccrea, an Irish band we still love to see live.

Would I change anything about that day? Maybe! We’ve changed so much as a couple – our styles, our priorities – but I wouldn’t trade the way I felt. My dad’s face when he saw me for the first time, Mr. G’s tear as I walked down the aisle, and the pure fun we had with our loved ones… those are moments I’ll cherish forever.

10 years feels like a lifetime ago, but looking back, it was the start of something truly special. ❤️

Happy Anniversary Rick, we made it! Here's to the next adventure x

Why do I love marquee weddings in Cornwall? Let me paint the picture…

The tranquil beauty of a coastal setting, the gentle sea breeze, and the lush green grass beneath the marquee. Months of planning, dreaming, and designing finally come to life.

The soft glow of twinkling lights, tables perfectly styled, and chairs ready for the laughter and love of everyone who matters most.

Add to that the magic of incredible local suppliers pouring their creativity and passion into every detail, bringing a vision straight from your mood board to reality.

And at the heart of it all? Two families coming together to celebrate love in its purest form.

That’s why marquee weddings in Cornwall will always have my heart. ❤

10 years ago this month, I got married. ❤️

To celebrate our anniversary, we’ve whisked ourselves away to Morocco—a country that has truly taken our breath away!

Our three boys are our world, and we wouldn’t change a thing. But with an almost 6-year-old and almost 3-year-old twins, let’s just say the dynamics at home are chaotic! 😂 Life is full of love (and noise), but we knew we needed this—a moment to pause, reconnect, and recharge.

Before kids, our days were filled with spontaneous adventures, backpacking trips, and chasing the dream of traveling the world. Priorities change, but taking time to focus on us again feels so refreshing and reminds us why we started this journey together.

Here’s to celebrating us Mr Griffiths and this incredible 10-year milestone. 🥂

A day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments! 🌸 After a beautiful church ceremony in the Lizard, we celebrated under a stunning marquee with cocktails, champagne, and incredible local food. The dance floor was alive all night as we partied hard with family and friends. The bride was a vision of timeless elegance, surrounded by florals with a wild, romantic touch. Truly a day to remember!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I hope you've all had the most wonderful Christmas break and looking forward to 2025! I can't wait to get started again....

If you are new to here then hi! I'm Caroline Griffiths. Cornwall’s experienced, trusted wedding & event planner.

I started out with a degree in Graphic Design and my journey began in corporate education and project management before I took over the management of my family’s Italian restaurant and catering company. I trained as a chef, have a secret passion for menu design and, having grown up around the family business, I know first-hand why service excellence is so important.

After several years successfully running the family business, I established a wedding planning company and I’ve spent the last 15 years helping couples design their dream weddings and delivered a day that is memorable for all the right reasons. I’m highly regarded within Cornwall's wedding industry and my bridal boutique ‘Bridal Gossip’ is located in Wadebridge. You can discover some of our dream wedding dresses here.

My experience is enriched by my travels and living in Australia, which has given me a global perspective. Being half-Italian and a mum of three, everything I do has a strong sense of family and cultural appreciation.

The Christmas holidays are the perfect time to pause and reflect. It’s all about family, stepping away from work, and taking a much-needed break from social media. For me, this time of year is a chance to recharge before January begins, and honestly, I find it really hard to embrace the slower pace! That said, pressing pause on wedding talk and business development—even for a short while—is something I’ve learned to prioritize at least once a year and I’m getting better! So it’s been gingerbread house making, paper chains, board games and whatever puts a smile on the boys faces.

As we wrap up 2024, I’m already looking ahead to 2025 with excitement, setting goals and thinking about what I want to accomplish.

How about you? What are your New Year’s resolutions this year?
