Imagine exchanging your vows with the love of your life, surrounded by the serene beauty of the ocean and the people (and pets!) who mean the most to you. That's exactly what Lily and Des experienced on a sunny Friday in May 2024 when they chose an elopement wedding at North Devon's multi award winning wedding venue, Ocean Kave. Their ceremony was a beautiful, bespoke event that perfectly suited their desire for an intimate, stress-free celebration with their three sons and beloved French Bulldog, Luna.
Lily and Des wanted a wedding that reflected their personalities and values—a relaxed, heartfelt event without the typical stress of a large wedding. Ocean Kave in Westward Ho! provided just that, offering a stunning, romantic venue tailored to their specific needs and desires. The couple was able to focus on what truly mattered: their love for each other and the joy of sharing this moment with their closest family members.
On their wedding day, Lily looked breath-taking in a boho-style, floor-length gown with a delicately detailed veil, escorted down the aisle by her eldest son. Des complemented her perfectly, donning a stylish summer country-inspired suit. The ceremony took place against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean on the North Devon Coast, creating a picturesque and memorable setting. 
After the ceremony, the couple enjoyed a private cliff-top photo shoot with MK Collins Photography. The stunning natural landscape provided a perfect canvas for their wedding photos, capturing the love and joy of the day. Following the shoot, they returned to the lawn to relax with their sons, sipping Pimm's and beer and savouring delicious cream tea canapés.
Their special day didn’t end with the ceremony. Lily and Des stayed at Sadlers Cottage, a spacious, dog-friendly three-bedroom retreat within the grounds of Westward Living. This beautiful cottage offered a relaxed and comfortable space for the family to unwind and continue celebrating their union. The tranquil setting and luxurious accommodations made their stay even more memorable.
With hearts full of gratitude, Lily and Des thanked everyone who helped make their day perfect. "Thank you so much for having us and our naughty Luna! We had an amazing time, and the boys were really sad to leave, so we’re already planning our next visit! Thank you for making us so comfortable. We had the best time!"
