1. Prioritise the Essentials for your Wedding
When planning a wedding in 3 months, start by focusing on the essentials. The first step is securing your venue—and at Tredudwell Manor, we offer both indoor and outdoor options, giving you flexibility no matter the season or weather.
Since time is limited, being flexible with your dates can make all the difference. During your initial visit, we’ll work closely with you to coordinate availability with Cornwall registrars, caterers, and other key suppliers. This proactive approach ensures a streamlined planning process without compromising on your vision.
After securing your date, prioritise these key elements:
Celebrant and Registrar: Essential for a legal ceremony. (Find out more about planning your wedding ceremony in Cornwall here)
Catering and Photography: Once these are booked, other aspects like florists, musicians, and cakes can follow.
At Tredudwell Manor, we’ve built strong relationships with local suppliers who are experienced in working on short timelines. For example, Ben and Jessica, who booked their wedding in May for a July celebration, enjoyed a flawless day, including a delicious wedding breakfast from our trusted catering partner, Jamie Beetham.

3. Simplify your Wedding Décor and Details
When planning a wedding in 3 months, simplicity is your best friend. Opt for décor elements that are beautiful yet manageable within a short timeframe. Here are a few suggestions:
Flowers: Choose seasonal, locally sourced blooms for a fresh and effortless touch. (Ben and Jessica arranged their flowers themselves, and the result was stunning!)
Lighting: Tredudwell’s pavilion comes with gorgeous lighting, so just a few candles in jars on tables can create a magical atmosphere.
Furniture: Our venue includes essential furniture and rustic features, cutting down on rental logistics and costs.
The natural beauty of Tredudwell Manor ensures that your décor complements the venue rather than competing with it, making your planning even easier. You can read more about how to be inspired by the natural beauty of our Cornwall wedding venue and its surroundings here.
