The event will be the most ambitious concert ever staged at Lusty Glaze Beach. The Cornish Sinfonia Orchestra will fill the cove with uplifting tunes and classical favourites, building to a crescendo with spectacular a choreographed firework display that will set the night sky alight.

Since its launch in 1999, Cornwall's own orchestra, Cornish Sinfonia, has established a stronghold within the cultural life of the county. The orchestra is made up of the finest players from Cornwall, Devon and further afield.

Symphony by the Sea is set to be one of the highlights of a sizzling summer at Lusty Glaze, as thousands of people of all ages flock to the beach to witness the Cornish Sinfonia Orchestra perform an evening of classical music, against the backdrop of Cornwall’s stunning coastline.

A series of shelters will be erected on the beach for the Last Night of the Proms style event on Sunday 31^st July 2016, providing an all-weather solution for the unique outdoor concert.

Breathtaking geographical features make Lusty Glaze Beach very unique and special. However, being surrounded by 80-100ft cliffs, there is only one access point and this is via the famous 133 steps. There are resting places every 10-12 steps but access may still be difficult for the less able or elderly guests.

Date: Sunday 31^st July 2016

Maids To Measure Have Landed

JUST LANDED IN THE BRIDAL HOUSE OF CORNWALL!

Maids to Measure are a fabulous modern bespoke bridesmaids dress brand that we cannot get enough of and are so excited to be stoking them. "Maids to Measure was created after too many brides complained about trying to find bridesmaid dresses...Maids to Measure fills a gap offering a unique dressmaking service online or by appointment."

Bridesmaid dresses can be a nightmare to find to fit the shape of each of your bridesmaids individually, but Maids To Measure offer a bespoke option to create what you want and fit your lovely ladies to make them feel fabulous too. Pick your top and neckline, chose your length and of course chose your colour to create your wedding vision exactly as you have dreamt about it.

Introducing Georgina, the flawless one shoulder gown, "Georgina knew what she wanted asymmetric elegance and this is exactly what this dress delivers. Either long or short, this dress is simply beautiful." 

Lisette, a gorgeous floaty gown, "Lisette is actually the best friend of one of the Maids to Measure team and she designed this classic for her Summer wedding. Super flattering V neck with fitted waist and a few light pleats coming from the waist band, this is a dress where you just cant go wrong."

Eliza, with her fluttering capped sleeves, "Eliza knew she wanted a sophisticated design that had a soft scoop neck with gentle cap sleeves. This dress has a fitted bottom with a slightly looser top to show of the maids curves. The back is equally beautiful with a key hole back and slight kick at the back of the skirt."

Charlotte, with her bellowing bow back, "Charlotte knew she wanted an on trend dress when she created this stylish yet classic number, which is not only super flattering but frames the bride beautifully. Sweetheart neckline, with sheer chiffon or lace over the top, this style can be fitted or floaty. The back is also beautiful which cuts into a low v, to give an extra wow factor down the aisle. Removable satin sash allows for a contrasting sash should you wish."

  Emma, with her beautiful illusion overlay with a sexy ruched middle, "Emma had seen some celeb maids in a magazine and was inspired to create a fitted bodice but with soft chiffon detailing over the top. This is one of Maids to Measures most popular designs, due to how flattering and easy to fit this dress is."

Summer Vision

As we try look past the winter rain to the spring and summer we are so excited to see back, it is however a very exciting time for our summer brides. If you haven't chosen and ordered your dress already now is the time to do it in order to fit in all your fittings before your big day.

We have put together a little summer bride guide for you of what dress we'd pick, what bridesmaids dresses compliment it, hair, shoes, underwear and flowers to create a perfect summer wedding vision.

We have chosen the elegant and utterly dreamy gown, Esme from the Summer's Eve Collection by Naomi Neoh. A beautiful gown full of movement and poise, this is also a new colour to Naomi Neoh gowns as it's in Oyster. A pale Oyster gown in chantilly lace with slim plisse silk chiffon skirt and a soft silk chiffon sash in a beautiful pale peach colour. The colours and pale blush/peach colour theme of the dress inspired this to be our theme. 

Our beautiful fairytale-like bridesmaids dress is by Maid To Measure and it called Georgina. A stunning one shoulder dress in a pale blush shows off the 2 shoulder wedding dress perfectly and makes the sash of Esme pop. 

Our shoes for our summer vision are by Rachel Simpson called Marilyn with a silk bow that falls effortlessly over the shoe. A delicate detail for a delicate dress.

Our chosen underwear is by Shell Belle, a wonderful luxury lingerie brand we stock in store and the briefs are Gatsby in pink in silk satin. With bow details, embroidered front and cute patterned behind these are sweet but also beautiful for the big day. 

Our selected hair style from our pinterest board would be an up do with peonies and sage coloured leaves, keeping the coloured watered down and neutral to assure no colour over powers the dress and leaves a floaty romantic atmosphere around the gown. This ties in perfectly to our chosen bouquet of pale pink peonies, little cream roses and babies breath, a wild flower country garden bouquet to compliment Esme in every way. 

A Countryside Dream For Hayley & Jonathan

What can we say about this absolutely beautiful bride? We cannot get enough of her wedding photos of her in her Naomi Neoh gown, Lily. A stunning ethereal full length dress with a soft blush lining, full skirt of silk that floats effortlessly in the summer breeze captured perfectly in her photos. 

The drop waist shows off her incredible figure and fits her like she was born to wear Lily. The sweetheart neckline of Lily is the perfect romantic shape of Hayley and she chose to wear a lace boat neckline jacket over the top of the dress which makes one dress look like two. Lily is all silk chiffon & french lace with flower detail on the waist to tie in perfectly with her countryside garden venue in Devon and beautiful blossoming bouquet. As you can see by her breath taking photos Lily fitted perfectly into her theme of the romantic rustic Devon countryside wedding.

We loved all her little details she created for her wedding day including her stunning cake made by her super talented mum, these little personal details clearly made her day even more special and close to her heart. Even the groomsmen were dressed to compliment the bride in their navy suits instead of black, making everyone bright, cheerful and full of summer spirit. Her bouquet and flowers were created by Peamore Flora and we are obsessed with how beautiful they are and how well it compliment her dress and her bridesmaids. Even Hayley's hair had little flowers delicately placed around in pale pinks and whites which made her look like a fairytale bride.

Everything entwined effortlessly, creating the perfect country wedding vision. Hayley's day looked truly magical from beginning to end. 

Once again we wish Hayley & Jonathan all the happiness in the world and huge congratulations on their fabulous day.
