Sweetart Top Quality, unique cakes for weddings and corporate occasions - Gold and Silver National and International Award Winner. "I wish I had seen this web site before I ordered my wedding cake, but it's too late for me! For all you lucky brides2be who haven't ordered their cakes, you must go and look at this site! The first thing that you see is a gorgeous blue cake, which is so different and striking that you get a little excited to see more of the same! The site is modern and eccentric both in style (a striking black background) and in the product it sells: "top quality, unique cakes and sculptures for weddings and corporate occasions". The business is run by Heather Higgins (based in W.Midlands but will deliver all over the UK) who can give you ideas for your cake or help you to create your own ideas. The Sugar Gallery is a must for all brides2be. You can not only get cakes but "wacky sculptures" which can hold the cake in the base. The Ceramic Gallery is not so much for weddings, but still well worth a look. These are not just cakes, but amazing, striking works of art - they put my boring cake to shame!".

They can organise venues, tents, props, banquets, costumes, jesters, music - everything you would expect and more. Although it is not mentioned on the site, Princess Valaria also organises weddings for couples in the USA who want to get married in England. The photo's on the website all look wonderful, and themes are a great way to make your day extra special and a little bit different. The Site is easy to use and find your way around. I really enjoyed looking at it - very inspiring! Prices vary - prices they are budgeted to the individuals pocket. There is an Email address, phone number and snail mail address so that you can find out more... Fantaysia.co.uk is a must for anyone considering a themed wedding.

I love these easy to use sites, and once again Capture It Photography is easy to navigate, and is nicely designed. Capture-It are a photography company that offer as one of their services, wedding photography. There is a gallery section filled with excellent work, for you to browse through to help you make your decision, there is a packages section that lays out the costs of each package they offer, with details of what it includes. They range from £395 to £1,415. They offer some lovely personal touches, for example, for an extra cost, they will print your thank you cards with a selected wedding image on. Their approach is that they tailor their photography to your needs and wants not theirs, which is good. All in all they seem a fantastic company and offer all the important things you want in your wedding photography. For all your needs I recommend checking this company out.

The first thing that grabs your attention when you enter www.magicimages.co.uk is the very red background. Once you get passed this there are simple links to the Unique Gifts, Photo Restoration and Wedding Stationery departments. There are original ideas for gifts involving framed photographs and digital images, and you can conveniently buy all items online. One thing that impressed me was how they can add touches of colour to black and white photos, giving stunning effects. They also restore old photographs - a nice gift idea for parents or grandparents. They also do customised wedding stationery, personalised with your choice of photo. If you're stuck for an unusual gift, this site is worth a visit. They may not be the cheapest but you have to pay for quality and originality! Reviewed by Mrs Sam Taylor.

This site specialises in wedding, christening and special occasion favours. They are based on the traditional five sugared almonds but they can put mint crisp chocolates (especially good for the men) in them. There are various designs to choose from; I personally like the Bride & Groom box with personalised ribbon. This is a great idea if you have got loads of other things to do with planning the BIG day, it is one less thing to worry about. The website is very simple to use, well presented and has some good pictures of the products; it also has some very adorable cute kiddie pictures on the home page. Definitely worth a visit. (Reviewed By Samantha Cort). Nicci Brown also reviewed this site and said "There is such a wide range at good prices and the site is so easy to use. I was very impressed with the Disney favours! There are so many different favours to look at, I could spend literally all day browsing! So overall impression, is brilliant if you want the perfect favours for a perfect wedding!".

This website is for Floral Decorating. Lindsay Kirkland & Lily Designs offer a service from creating a whole wedding theme to simple vases of twigs and berries for your office Christmas party. They do specialize in wedding flowers. There's a great portfolio of their work on the site for you to browse through and for your peace of mind they have some great references on there too. They are based in Essex but cover a huge area of England so go visit their site, look around, and see the wonderful, unique decorations they create.

This is the perfect website for you if you want something unique for your wedding day, the majority of their designs are nontraditional; ideal for civil or second marriages. They do made to measure, as well as off the peg, as they understand that not everyone is a perfect dress size from head to toe. The made to measure bridal range is priced from £450 - £1500, depending on style and fabric, so it won't break the bank. They also do an evening wear range, bags & accessories, again made to measure. The website is very easy to use with good pictures of some of the gowns available. There is a brief introduction to the designer and details on how she got started and you can book an appointment on-line for the shop in Covent Garden, London. If you want to have the claim to fame of having your dress made by the same people who did Anthea Turners bridesmaids dresses, then this is the place for you! Reviewed by Mrs Sam Taylor.

Well I for one love make-up and beauty, so I loved this site! One thing I personally like about sites is when they join you in, and this site does that. There is a vanity quiz (of which I am as vain as they come LOL), a chat room and a competition. This site gives you articles, a guide to bridal hair, which gives you excellent tips and ideas on choosing a style that you want and that suits you, there is also a guide to concealing the signs of ageing (which I appreciated!), and every month is a different tip, this month it is on Lipstick. There is a FAQ page for people who would like to use their services, which are excellent, of which you can check out the testimonials for conformation. Overall I give this site an excellent rating.
