Wannabe Wags and celebrities we’ve found the perfect place for you to get hitched.
London’s, or to be precise, Chelsea harbour’s Wyndham Grand has just been reopened after a major revamp.
The newly decorated hotel will now give brides-to-be and their guests some gorgeous views across the harbour as well as gorgeous grand ballroom to party the night away in and some of the most luxurious suites in the city to sleep in.
And it’s good news for those who want a Big Fat wedding as the venue can accommodate up to 600 guests. Those who want something a little bit smaller shouldn’t worry however, as the space can also be divided for smaller occasions.
Prices start at £115 per head including a glass of champagne at the reception and a three course dinner with half a bottle of wine per guest. You’ll also get a free wedding planner and a free suite for the evening.

Alex Curran reportedly wore a £60,000 diamond-studded off-white dress with a long train, designed by Paris-based Lebanese couturier Elie Saab.
Her bridesmaids, daughters, Lily-Ella and Lexie wore miniature versions.
We’re not sure about you, but we think this frock looks like an A-line version of fellow WAG Claudine Palmer’s dress. Who said money could buy you individuality?
Click on the photo below for some affordable alternatives to Alex’s dress.

Alex and Steven Gerrard got married at Cliveden House on June 16, 2007, the same day as the weddings of England team-mates Gary Neville and Michael Carrick.
However, their wedding took place over three days. The couple and their guests indulged in spa treatments and rounds of golf at the stately home before the event, before the ceremony and reception, which took place in a marquee erected in the grounds of the stately home.
But there was nothing grand in the food, which reportedly included fish and chips, curry and trifle. The guests also gorged on a spectacular seven-tier £20,000 cake, but only once a stepladder had been found so it could be cut.
Gary Barlow however added some class to the day, playing the paino at the reception. A spectacular fireworks display also ended the evening, as a fleet of Rolls-Royces stood by to ferry guests to other hotels.
The wedding was said to cost around £500,000 to £1million but the couple got most of their money back from OK! Magazine, which paid £800,000 for photo rights.

The couple, whose guests included Joe Cole and Carly Zucker, as well as Robbie Keane, then moved on to the posh Stapleford Park Country House hotel for a reception, which is said to have cost the couple around £250,000.
But like many of our wag weddings, the couple reclaimed these costs by signing over picture rights to a magazine.

Unlike many wags, Emma chose to be plain and sophisticated on her big day.
She swapped beaded bling fora full-length ivory gown from Amanda Wakeley and added some sparkle with a glittering tiara.
We think she looks gorgeous in this straight dress with a small mermaid kick at the bottom.

Emma Hadfield and Gary Neville got married on June 16th 2007 at Manchester Cathedral.
The day began with guests drinking to the health of the couple, by toasting their glasses that were full of Louis Roederer 1997 vintage Cristal champagne. According to reports, this costs around £205 per bottle.
The couple also decorated the 800-year-old cathedral with a dozen 20ft white flower arrangements.
Following the service, the wedding party drove to Gary’s 17th Century moorland home, where an enormous marquee was erected on the lawn.

This couple’s day was one of a hatrick of footballer and Wag weddings that took place over the same weekend of the 7 June 2008.
Robbie and Claudine were together for 6 years before finally tying the knot. They chose Ballybrack church in Dublin before going on to a marquee reception at the Ritz Carlton at Powerscourt.

All guests at the reception were asked to dress in black or white and the couple changed into purple outfits by Antonio Berardi.
The menu included Laurent Perrier rose champagne and sticky toffee pudding and their wedding cake was topped with a nude (except for a few ivy leaves) sculpture of the newlyweds.
Guests were also treated to an 18-piece orchestra and the party, quite literally ended with a bang as the couple opted for a fireworks display.
