Buying guides

Every bride wants to look stunning on her special day. Be confident that there is a perfect dress for your size and budget and that the net is the perfect place to find it. You can find designer wedding gowns from Vera Wang or Oscar De La Renta as well as beautiful dresses from Jasper Conran. This may come as a surprise: Ivory gowns are more popular than white dresses. Both are well liked in lace or silk fabrics. Next come the shoes. Find everything from ivory ballet flats to bridal stilettos and don't forget the bridal bouquet for when you walk down that aisle. As for bridal headwear, you can opt for a traditional wedding veil, a silver tiara or a white fascinator, which are becoming increasingly popular with modern brides. If you’re getting married in the winter, why not wrap up warm in a fur wedding coat or an ivory shawl? You can also find all types of wedding lingerie, including plus size wedding underwear, and the all-important wedding garter.

You can find bridesmaids’ dresses for little flower girls and maids of honour alike on Twenga. Most popular among bridesmaids dresses are pink or gold gowns, for example by Maggie Sotero. When you choose a model, think about all the bridesmaids, including those who may need plus sizes. Bridesmaids need accessories too. Find hairbands, necklaces and earrings for bridemaids on our site. There’s no less choice for the groom: men’s dinner jackets, frock coats and morning suits. A top hat, formal waistcoat and wedding cufflinks are the finishing touches to any groom’s outfit. For the mother of the bride, browse among formal outfits and evening dresses from top brands like Mon Chéri and Coast.

Hats are designed for special occasions and surely no occasion is more special than your child's wedding day. Whether you are looking for that statement piece or that simple but stylish design, you're sure to find your perfect hat on Twenga. However wedding hats are certainly not just reserved for the Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom! Add that extra sparkle to your outfit by investing in an exquisite piece of headgear fit for the occasion.

Gold is the traditional and favourite choice, but there are many different types of wedding rings on the market. Titanium wedding bands are a popular choice for the groom, and white gold bands look stunning. You can also buy ‘his and hers’ matching wedding ring sets. For the bride, it’s important to choose a wedding band that won’t clash with her engagement ring. Engraved or celtic bands can be very personal, or for something really unique, look at antique wedding rings. You will find many brands on Twenga: Cartier wedding rings are the epitome of timeless elegance, Palladium wedding bands are simple, stylish and sophisticated and F.Hinds wedding rings are also popular. Don’t forget the wedding ring cushion.

Once you’ve set a date and chosen a venue, it’s time to send the invitations. White is unsurprisingly the most popular colour for invitations on Twenga, with butterflies, champagne and wedding cake being the motifs of choice. Choose between formal wedding invitations, cards or even photo wedding invitations. If you’re having a bridal shower, it’s a nice touch to send your guests individual wedding shower invitations. If you’re feeling creative, why not send handmade wedding invitations? Find all the card-making tools and accessories you need, in the colour scheme of your choice.

Fresh flowers look beautiful at any wedding reception, but artificial ones can look just as nice. Whatever the location, decorate the tables with confetti, silk rose petals and centrepieces. You can even co-ordinate your place cards with your invitations! Wedding favours are a traditional way of thanking your guests for coming – put sugared almonds or sweets in individual boxes and place them by each seat. To avoid the hassle of booking a venue, why not have a garden wedding reception? Hire or buy a marquee and decorate the interior yourself. Invest in a garden arbour or bower; you’ll look wonderful posing underneath it in your wedding photos. Light up the the garden with lanterns and pretty fairy lights. Don’t forget to order the wine and champagne!
