Why Choose a Spring Wedding in Cornwall

May has quickly become one of the most popular months for weddings and it’s not hard to see why. Days are long enough to enjoy golden light into the evening, but not as busy as peak summer. Cornwall is at its prettiest, with bluebells, wildflowers, and blossom creating a romantic setting. Guests can also enjoy quieter beaches and countryside walks, making your wedding feel like part of a spring holiday.

Spring weddings are all about nature setting the scene. At Tredudwell, couples can exchange vows in any one of our nine Cornwall wedding ceremony spaces including the garden temple, surrounded by fresh greenery, wildflowers, and sweeping views of the Cornish coastline.
