Things might be taking off fast since the law was passed in favour of Civil Partnerships, but the wedding industry isn’t moving quite so quickly. Thankfully there’s lots of online shops getting on board, like Pink Products.

They’ve got a great range of cards and gifts to congratulate your favourite couple on their big day. I particularly love these cute Mr & Mr and Mrs & Mrs cards. The subtly designed cards are silver foiled and cost just £2.99 each.

Civil Partnerships, Gowns

Monsoon’s Madison provides a perfect casual gown for Civil Ceremonies

By admin on March 3rd, 2008

25202941_F_m1.jpgGetting married outside of a church doesn’t mean you can’t have some of the grand old traditions involved in your ceremony. If your heart is set on wearing white there are some great, more casual solutions for brides out there.

Monsoon’s bridal selection has a great selection of dresses, and this Madison frock is a gorgeous number that provides something a little less formal. Still gorgeous and flattering, this shift dress is detailed with scalloped embroidery and pearls. A little bit of glamour and still classically pretty, too. All for a fantastic price of £250.

Rachel Mount’s incredible cakes

By admin on July 23rd, 2007

rachelmount2.jpgNow I know I keep going on about wedding cakes, but it’s only because I keep finding the most incredible wedding cake designers.

Rachel Mount held her first exhibition of cake sculpture in July 2006 at Sotheby’s Kiddell Gallery and her work has been selected for the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition 2007, but more importantly (to us, probably not to her) just look at that cake! (I’ve already featured her Vintage 1950s handbag cakes on our sister site, The Bag Lady.)

Whether you’re looking for something traditional or non-traditional, check out her website, she’s even extended her portfolio to cover gay and lesbian weddings.
