IT
can take months, even years of planning, but when a couple's wedding day finally
comes around, it should be an event they will remember for the rest of their
lives.
That
is one of the reasons why more and more people are organising their wedding
day via the web. Indeed, many of the headaches associated with getting the
big day underway can be dealt with directly from a PC, and there are a plethora
of wedding websites to choose from. |
 Everything
from men's and ladies attire, to cakes, ceremonial music, venues, photographers
and even disc jockeys can be arranged, all at the click of a mouse.
And even
if the happy couple are just looking for some inspiration, then there is enough
material to help them organise a wedding that could rival anything the celebrities
of this world enjoy.

Wedding Fayres
Wedding fayres are great for getting hints and tips for your big day and discovering themes and ideas you may not have considered.
Finishing touches
Nothing completes a wedding outfit better than a nice handbag or pair of shoes and if you want to keep your outfit plain and simple you can always jazz it up by wearing stylish accessories such as jewellery, belts, hairpieces or hats
In keeping with tradition
Why do we throw confetti at weddings and why does the bride wear a veil? Some wedding traditions date back hundreds of years but they are still used today.
What's on your wish list?
Making your gift list is one of the more fun parts of planning a wedding. There's no better way to take a break from designing the seating plan or posting out 200 invitation than making a list of presents for yourselves!
The perfect venue
Where you hold your wedding will all depend on the style and theme and how many guests you have invited. Here are a few options...
A piece of cake
On the continent and in America the trend is moving away from traditional three-tier wedding cakes and people are opting for small, individual cakes which guests can sample without getting too full.
Finding the perfect florist
You should make appointments to see three or four different florists before deciding which one to entrust the organisation of one of the most beautiful elements of your wedding day to.
A wedding in the sun
The idea of getting away from it all and marrying abroad can be attractive, especially when you could be paying up to £16,000 for a wedding in Melksham.
The one-stop shop for wedding elegance
Girls of Elegance is a web-based company which provides a one stop shop for all your bridal needs. There are also plenty of accessories for wedding guests which will all help to make the day a truly special one.
Stags and hens
Today's stag and hen dos are all about originality and style. For an unforgettable pre-wedding bash, start planning early and get creative.
The cost of getting married
By the end of 2005 £4.2billion will have been spent on weddings this year alone, but are couples in the West saving enough for their big day?
Countdown to the big day
Planning a wedding is not something you can leave until the last minute. It is recommended that the church, reception venue and photographer are booked at least 12 months in advance
Less hassle to take off abroad
Not even the tropical rain could ruin David and Donna Snowdon's dream-like wedding in Barbados. Awakening on the morning of the wedding the nervy couple were met by a deluge of rain.
It's just a small thing to say thank you
The current vogue for wedding favours a little keepsake for every guest as a thank you from the bride and groom for sharing their happy day has a long history.
Love bridges the age divide
A year ago Jackie and Steve Webb had just got married and were set to leave their home in the Pewsey Vale for a new life in France.
Hard work for the chief bridesmaid
According to the etiquette books, bridesmaids have to work hard for months. The chief bridesmaid should be a lady-in-waiting to the bride, help her choose the dress, plan the hen night and diplomatically sort out any disagreements that might arise between parents and other attendants.
Love blossoms in the workplace
AS you spend a third of your day with your work colleagues, it is hardly surprising that close relationships are fostered in the office, factory or other place of employment.
Outside the box for that special gift
No one would deny that a wedding list is a handy way to select a gift for the happy couple but donating a couple of dinner plates towards a set is not exactly expressing the donor's personality.
Tales of superstar weddings
CELEBRITY icon Sting was inspired by the beauty of the Wiltshire countryside near his home in Wilsford Cum Lake to propose to his third wife Trudie Styler.
From classroom to fashion house
INFANT teacher Kathryn Courage has given up the classroom for the world of fashion so she can help her mother Joan Pressley run her internationally renowned hat hire business in Devizes.
Avoid a crash if a gift firm goes bust
Every bride dreads being left without a groom on her special day, but imagine if your wedding presents didn't turn up either.
Countdown to the big day
Planning is essential when it comes to your wedding and it is definitely not something you can leave until the last minute!
Set a budget to avoid argument
A dream wedding for your friend could be a nightmare for your finances, warns Lloyds TSB Savings. With the average wedding present now costing £40£50 and a growing trend for overseas stag and hen parties, being a bridesmaid or best man is becoming more costly.
Take the trip of a lifetime
When planning your honey moon the world should be your oyster, but after all the expense of the wedding itself, it may be that there isn't that much cash left.
Nights to be remembered
STAG and hen nights can be almost as big a deal as the wedding itself and can take as much organisation.
The Look of Love - Wedding Hair
Whether you are the bride to be this summer or a wedding guest you'll want your hair to look its best on the big day.
If a bride can't pamper herself in the run-up to her wedding, then when can she?
What with arranging the dress, the bridesmaids, dresses, the various accessories and everything else that goes to make the happy day, it can be easy to forget about important things even closer to home.
Dress to impress
Nothing written in Magical Days, nor in any bridal fashion magazine, nor in any book can tell a bride which wedding dress she should choose.
Good grooming
With brides-to-be having to make provision for everything from manicures to matching clutch bags for attendants, it is tempting to think the groom has little to worry about in terms of his appearance.
Accessories and jewellery
With so much emphasis on the choosing, fitting and alteration of the dress, it is easy to neglect accessories.
