For the past several days, I’ve been doing a bit of researching amongst some of the better-known UK-based suppliers of wedding cakes and bridal dresses, as well as other wedding goods and services. I particularly wanted to check the Marks & Spencer website, because I have a number of friends who have used their wedding services and recommended them highly.
After finding the homepage for the M&S wedding shop, I was astonished to see the wide range of services they provide. The Marks and Spencer wedding shop offers a large selection of wedding cakes and cupcakes, as well as clothing, invitations and even floral arrangements. After spending an afternoon perusing the site, I would say that it’s definitely worth checking out if you want to get a good idea of how to create the perfect wedding.
Marks and Spencer wedding cakes are simply scrumptious looking, with traditional all-butter fruit or sponge cakes, filled with raspberry jam and buttercream fillings and covered in marzipan and soft icing. You can also buy the tiers separately in order to custom create your own cake. These lovely iced cake tiers are perfect for decorating later, and can be ready for collection in only eight days. The amazingly affordable prices range from £8.00 for a small tier to £56.00 for the set of four tiers. Marks and Spencer wedding cakes are also available fully decorated; the breathtaking White Chocolate Rose Assorted Cake, for example, is available for only £219.00 and can be ordered in as little as three weeks advance notice. If you want something less traditional, there’s a tasty-looking Cheese Wedding Cake for £150.00. You can also get cupcakes in flavors such as strawberry and chocolate; prices for these range from £18.00 for 36 mini cupcakes to £48.00 for 48 full-size cupcakes. There are even gluten-free and vegetarian selections as well amongst all these luxuriously decadent selections.
Marks and Spencer wedding clothes range from the traditional, such as a sleeveless satin prom bridesmaid’s dress for £75.00, to the non-traditional, such as the stunning satin and velvet bandeau-topped long dress priced at £99.00. The Marks and Spencer wedding clothes pages include not only bridesmaid’s dresses and bridal gowns, but also morning coats and bridal lingerie as well. If you’re thinking of ordering a complete Marks and Spencer wedding dress outfit, you’ll want to check out the audacious Ruffle Strappy Shoes, which come in two colours and are priced at £39.50. Your Marks and Spencer wedding dress outfit should also include a bit of bridal lingerie in silk, satin and lace in absolutely smashing colours and romantic designs. For the gents, there’s also a huge range of morning coats and other wedding ensembles, and there’s even a department for children’s wedding clothes. Best of all, Marks and Spencer wedding clothes come in a large selection of sizes, so there’s something for everyone.
After I tore myself away from the cakes and clothes, I thought I’d take a look at the Marks and Spencer wedding invitations. I was greatly impressed with the elegance of the selection; I’d no idea that Marks and Spencer wedding invitations could look so expensive but cost so little. The butterfly-themed invitations come in two styles, for either day or evening, both with gorgeous cut-out butterflies along the edges. At six for only £3.50, they’re an amazing value, particularly as they look as if they came from an upscale stationer’s. The Art Deco-themed invitations are priced at eight for £3.50, and are elegantly finished with silver foil. In addition, there’s a clever CD-ROM program available on how to print your own personalised invitations.
In addition to cards, clothes and cakes, the Marks and Spencer wedding shop also offers wedding decorations, champagne and wine, as well as a full selection of wedding gifts. You can even order your wedding flowers through the M&S wedding pages, in a variety of arrangements both with and without accompanying vases.
For several years now, there has also been a popular Marks and Spencer wedding insurance plan. Marks and Spencer wedding insurance has been a valuable option for those whose wedding arrangements have met with misfortunes for various reasons. Most people don’t think of wedding insurance, but it’s a viable financial option that can result in savings worth thousands of pounds.
The Marks and Spencer wedding shop is truly a one-stop-shopping experience; whilst looking at their website, I was continually astonished at the wide range of high quality wedding goods and services provided by this reputable retailer. Best of all, they’re available at the affordable prices that have made Marks and Spencer a trusted household name for generations.
