Say "I Do" in Spring: Why Boconnoc Is Perfect for Your 2026 Wedding
Spring is a season of new beginnings, gardens bursting into bloom, lighter evenings, and a sense of fresh energy in the air. At Boconnoc, spring weddings are every bit as breathtaking as summer, with the added magic of peaceful surroundings and Cornwall’s early blossoms creating unforgettable backdrops.
Thanks to the Gulf Stream, Cornwall enjoys a milder climate and an earlier spring than the rest of the UK. At Boconnoc, this means magnolias, camellias, and rhododendrons are already in full bloom weeks ahead of elsewhere, giving couples a head start on nature’s most romantic season.
In April and May this year, every outdoor ceremony went ahead without the need for a weather back-up plan, a reminder of just how kind Cornwall’s spring can be.
If you’re dreaming of a shorter engagement (a growing trend) and want to tie the knot in spring 2026, Boconnoc still has dates available. Book before 15th October 2025 and enjoy a complimentary third night in Boconnoc House with your two-night wedding. With our trusted suppliers and the experienced Boconnoc team on hand, there’s more than enough time to plan your perfect day.
Florals in Spring
Civil Ceremonies
Choose an outdoor civil ceremony in the Bath House or Dorothy Garden and you’ll be surrounded by a natural stage of blooms. In the Dorothy Garden, your walk to the arbour is framed by magnolias and tree peonies, while the Bath House offers vows beneath a heritage camellia tree, its petals forming a soft confetti carpet underfoot.
Church Weddings
Arrive at Boconnoc’s 800-year-old church past walls abundant with wisteria, while your florist weaves the best of the estate’s seasonal blooms into your arrangements seamlessly bringing the outside in.
Boconnoc House and Grounds
As you and your guests approach Boconnoc House, you’ll be welcomed by towering azaleas, rhododendrons, and terraces wrapped in wisteria. Quiet paths glow with spring colour, hydrangeas line the drives, and the gardeners’ careful planting creates picture-perfect scenes at every turn.
