In Tenby it was a bright but breezy evening, and we had a quick drink at the sailing club in the harbour. You can't get any closer to the water than that.




Tenby is starting to get a bit busy - and pricey - at this time of year, so we stayed inland in the sweet little village of Saint Florence. We stayed in Parsonage Inn, a pub and B&B, which had very friendly staff, was clean and good value, but on the downside had the softest mattress in the world and very warm rooms.

The wedding wasn't until 1pm the next day, so we just got ready straight after breakfast and headed into Tenby again so that we could hit the charity shops. We were slightly over-dressed next to the tourists in shorts, but I'm glad we went in - I picked up my first Sarah Coventry brooch, shaped like a pineapple! Apparently it's called 'Autumn Haze' and would have had matching earrings (I don't wear earrings anyway so don't mind about not having the full set). I managed to find time for an ice-cream too before we had to head off to the wedding, sort of obligatory on a really lovely sunny day by the sea.



In the wedding venue car park it was a quick change into my heels while my husband put on his jacket, tie and hat. I popped on my grandmother's rhinestones and my home-made fascinator as finishing touches and we were good to go! Trefloyne Manor is a boutique hotel and golf club set in the countryside, and we were incredibly lucky to have the most beautiful sunny day for the wedding. I even got a little sunburnt sat on the terrace, listening to the Welsh male voice choir and sipping some prosecco. A really wonderful day, so no full length photos of me as I was having too much fun to pose.

The next day it rained all day, as well as some really thick fog appearing, and the temperature plummeted. Did we dream that sunny day in Tenby?!

I love browsing antique shops just to look - I always say it's like going to a museum where you're allowed to touch things! Those pastel houses are so lovely, it makes me happy that places like this exist :)
ReplyDeleteYes seriously, where did you find the lovely weather and can you bring it back? How dreadful has this summer been so far?! I love your casual outfit and what I can see of your wedding guest outfit too, stylish lady. I've wanted a little navy jacket like you're wearing above for so long, but never managed to find one like it yet :( would be so handy! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat an utterly charming seaside spot!
ReplyDeleteYou looked perfect!

What gorgeous scenery! The more I learn about Wales the more I want to visit - you make it look like such a lovely place. That second to last photo with the pastel houses and blue skies is absolutely amazing. And you look super cute in your wedding attire! I love the rose print, and the little veiled hat.
ReplyDeleteOh my wow it would be amazing to take blog photos in front of those gorgeous colour buildings!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress you wore to the wedding! Beautiful photos! xo
How vibrantly lovely is that blue sky? Wow! Almost Mediterranean-ly so, IMO. And speaking of lovely hues, those pastel homes are almost too pretty to be real. They look as though they were lifted out of a fairy tale. What a charming, beautiful part of the world.

*PS* The outfit you wore to the wedding is so glamorously gorgeous!
I haven't been to Tenby since 1976 but I remember those candy coloured houses as clear as day. You're making me want to go back with this talk of chazzas.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely in both your outfits. xxx
Aaah, that looks fab. Thank you so much for sharing something happy. And that shop selling Spanish cheeses... would it be too much to ask my husband to drive to Wales for cheese, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteSarah Coventry seems to be one of those brands that passes under the collectors' radar; Juliana and Trifari goes for silly prices, but Sarah Coventry stuff is still fairly affordable. I really like it. (And the brand did some great stuff in the 70s, which should suit your 70s boho-glam side!)
How lucky you were to get that one day of gorgeous sunshine! I bet the bride and groom were pleased. Is that the fascinator you were telling me about at DFV? It looks fab and matches your dress perfectly. xx
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a great weekend! And nothing wrong with looking your best looking through charity shops and getting ice cream! Love your outfits and LOVE your fascinator. It goes so perfectly with your dress. You did a great job on it!
ReplyDeleteI like the homemade fascinator! Sounds like a lovely day at the wedding. I really need to visit Tenby, it looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely part of the world, it looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh such beautiful scenery! Those colourful houses are so pretty. I love your nautical look, looks comfortable too. Your dress and fascinator look so lovely too x
ReplyDeleteHow weird this is, I was in Tenby not two weeks ago (the day of the vote, actually). I've also been to Narberth and have visited Malthouse Antiques, though not this year. xxx
