Wedding planning blog since 2010
Real Wedding was born in 2010 when Lucy was planning her shoestring wedding. Lucy and Andy were brave enough to self-cater their beach-side Cornwall wedding in November 2010, and produced nearly everything themselves including the wedding stationery, bouquets and venue decorations.
A bargain hunter through and through, Lucy was proud to import her wedding dress – a handmade, very delicate 1930s dress – from America. The dress was bought on Ebay for £60 and luckily the 26inch waist dress fit (after a lot of dieting, and patching up the disintigrated fabric!)


Lucy and Andy were married in November 2010 at Polhawn Fort in Rame Head, Cornwall.

The love of wedding planning never left Lucy after she got married, and after producing 100s of pieces of useful and inspiring content, the most savvy Brides and Grooms visit Real Wedding to pick up wedding planning and honeymoon tips and advice.
