Latest reviews on London area wedding experts
When we started our research on Nova Markina, Owner and Principal Photographer at NovaMarkina Photography, it was pretty clear that this was the type of photographer that we love to share with brides in The Ring.

With images that are stylish, fun, and emotionally provoking, Nova captures the perfect mix between tradition and trend, without ever sacrificing quality. Here's more on this fabulous photographer......

read more In the past, The Ring has visited and called Collins Formal Wear countless times in an effort to do research for our brides and grooms. Every single time we approach Collins, we are greeted the same way each customer is greeted - warmly and with appreciation. Even with tons of weddings on the go, clients filling their rental locations, and lots on their plates, the three owners of Collins Formal Wear - Lynda, Brad and Curt Collins never fail to provide exceptional service to each of their clients, which likely has something to do with the fact that they believe "shopping for a tux is like shopping for a wedding gown. It's not a decision to be taken lightly." It's for this reason, and for their extensive selection of high quality, exclusive formal wear, that The Ring decided every groom (and his bride) should know what we know about Collins Formal Wear.

read more It's not easy being the mother of the bride or the mother of the groom. For such a big event, Mom wants to look good but doesn't want to steal the spotlight from her 'baby'. We loved the team at Bridal Elegance because they devote a good portion of their time to giving Mom the attention she needs in order to 'suit up in style' for her son or daughter's wedding. While we were interviewing Wilma and Tara of Bridal Elegance, we were surprised by the wide selection of mother of the bride (and groom) gowns.
read more Why The Ring?
The Ring is different from most wedding web sites and magazines because we go further than advertising for vendors or basic wedding tips for brides. Each advertiser Interviews & Reviewed in The Wedding Ring selects wedding professionals for their reputation, their cool-factor, and by the the fact that we've met them, like them, and want to tell you all about them. Many vendors have been recommended to us by other brides and wedding industry experts. The Ring's staff has done its homework - researched, interviewed, checked references, and more - to find great services that can work with all different tastes, budgets and preferences. You'll have lots of options to plan the perfect wedding but not so many that you don't know where to start. The Wedding Ring is a community and a concept that's designed all around what real brides need and what professional wedding vendors have every right to expect.
Hiring: What's a bride to do?
When you're faced with hiring services for the most important day of your life, based solely on who's phone book ad is the biggest, who has the nicest logo, or who's 'blurb' in a web site ad sounds best... When there are thousands of florists and hundreds of photographers... how do you choose? By getting free access to all of the details, prices, options and recommendations you'd normally spend months trying to find. The Ring is changing the way London and surrounding area brides plan weddings.
