Lucy and Donovan's Chic Wedding At Rockbeare Manor

This wedding was a showstopper! It brought a luxe Champagne and mocha mousse colour scheme together with white roses, unforgettable entertainment, and a Caribbean twist, where their personalities and passions really were at the forefront of this once in a lifetime day. 


Read on for some serious wedding inspiration!!

The Dress

A beautiful twist on a classic, timeless satin dress. Lucy’s gown, from Brides at Waterfields, Exeter,  features a unique design where delicate fabric wraps around the neckline, draping elegantly over the shoulders and flowing down the back. The fabric cascades in soft, billowing folds, combining the refined elegance of a traditional veil with a modern flare. 

The Groomsmen

Straying away from convention, for something unique and personal, the Groomsmen's suits were a striking chocolate brown, double-breasted design that exude sophistication and timeless style.   It's a colour tone that is absolutely on trend with the 2025 pantone having been announced recenly as Mocha Mousse.


The rich, deep hue adds a warm, elegant touch, while the double-breasted cut gives the suits a sharp, structured look; combining classic tailoring with a modern twist. 


The Groom, in perfect contrast, wears a beautifully neutral-toned suit that complements the groomsmen’s attire flawlessly, creating a harmonious and refined aesthetic. This combination of modern and classic elements is the ideal choice for a stylish and memorable wedding look, and was provided by the team at Moss.

The Bridal Party

The Bridesmaids boast beautifully styled satin dresses from Debenhams, draped in a soft Champagne hue, exuding warmth and sophistication. The Champagne tones beautifully complement the groomsmen’s chocolate brown suits, creating a seamless and stylish pairing for the bridal party.

The Décor

The overall vibe of the wedding is timeless and elegant, with a focus on soft, romantic floral elements and refined decor. The bridal party carries stunning bouquets of pristine Playa Blanca white roses. The table centre pieces feature delicate bud vases filled with white roses, delphiniums, and delicate dendrobium orchids, nestled with candles, creating an understated yet sophisticated atmosphere.

A beautiful stair arrangement boasts an array of white blooms and lush greenery, cascading down to add a dramatic yet soft touch to the central area of the venue, styled by Arten Florum. Throughout the space, candles flicker gently, casting a warm, inviting glow that enhances the romantic ambiance. The decor is thoughtfully designed to evoke a sense of classic beauty, with each element blending seamlessly to create a warm, timeless celebration.


The Entertainment

The entertainment at the wedding was nothing short of magical, adding a unique and exciting touch to the celebration. A talented magician captivated guests during the drinks reception, performing close-up illusions and tricks that left everyone in awe. For the bride and groom, the magician reserved a special trick or two, adding an extra layer of wonder and personal magic to their moment at the beautiful sweetheart table.


As the evening unfolded, an incredible DJ took over, bringing the party to life with an energetic mix of music that had everyone on the dance floor, creating an atmosphere of fun and celebration.

Lucy & Donovan say:


“We just had to say THANK YOU! Melissa, you were an absolute dream on Sunday and made our day feel so seamless and easy. Your constant positive energy and vibes were just what we needed. You are SO good at what you do. We can’t thank you enough! Lucy and Don xx”
