From wooded cliffs far above the tiny harbour, a cobbled street winds down to the sea past cottages, flower bestrewn the summer long. Clovelly is an enchanting village of timeless beauty and has a picturesque choice of settings for a wedding day of wonderful memories.
The New Inn, in the heart of the village, has a wedding licence, so you can be married in the oak beamed Hamlyn Room and enjoy your reception there in a heart-warming village atmosphere.
On the other hand, what could be more romantic than to lead your guests down the cobbled street to the ancient harbour. Here there is an album filling selection of maritime settings for your wedding photographs
Wedding Trivia:
GARTER AND BRIDAL BOUQUET TOSS
In parts of Europe during the 14th contrary, having a piece of the bride's clothing was thought to bring good luck. Guests would literally destroy the brides dress by ripping off pieces of fabric. In order to prevent this, brides began throwing various items to the guests - the garter belt being one of the items.In order to avoid this problem, it became customary in the 14th century for the bride to toss her garter to the men. Sometimes the men would get drunk, become impatient, and try to remove the garter ahead of time. Therefore, the custom evolved for the groom to remove and toss the garter. With that change the bride started to toss the bridal bouquet to the unwed girls of marriageable age. Tradition says that whoever catches the bouquet shall be the next to marry. She keeps the bouquet to ensure this destiny.
