Ryland Peters & Small books are all about celebrating the best things in life, and we are particularly proud of our wide range of books about weddings and all that goes with the big day: preparation, flowers, cakes, reception decorations, wedding etiquette, and even a beauty guide for the bride. We also produce great gifts for the happy couple (such as wise words to prepare you for a long marriage and a book of wedding anniversaries) and for the bridal party (including a guide to making a heartfelt speech and a fill-in-yourself book for young bridesmaids), and plenty of beautiful stationery including a photo album, guest book, notecards and interactive journals to chart your progress towards the great day. From the moment you get engaged, you'll become caught up in a whirlwind of plans and decisions, from where to hold the reception to who to invite. One of our top bestsellers, The Wedding Planner, takes you through every step with special pages where you can make a note of your budget, guest list, gift list and more. You'll be involving family and friends in the day too, and might like to give members of your wedding party one of our helpful gift books if they're nervous about their duties. How about Wedding Speeches & Toasts for your dad, or How to be a Bridesmaid for the bride's best friend? And if you don't know who should be doing what, or you hit a problem, consult Wedding Etiquette for the answer. If you want to buy a gift for a bride, present her with How to be a Beautiful Bride, packed with everything she'll need to look and feel great on the day, or one of our beautiful planners such as Our Wedding Journal or Our Engagement Journal.

Being a bridesmaid is the highlight of any little girl's year, but it can be a tiring day too. Reward your small helpers with our gorgeous book When I Was a Bridesmaid, for girls (up to the age of about 10) to fill in themselves, with room for photos and drawings. It also makes a lovely keepsake. No wedding is complete without flowers. Our new Wedding Flowers is a visual floral reference, with hundreds of pictures - covering everything from flowers for the bride to buttonholes - and informative captions to help you hone your ideas and show your florist what you would like. The book also contains a great planning chapter with ideas for themed wedding flower schemes. If you fancy making a bouquet or posy yourself, look at Nancy Ursell's Creating Beautiful Wedding Flowers. Wedding flower designer Nancy provides twenty gorgeous step-by-step projects to make at home. For style inspiration for the whole day, from flowers to table settings and more, take a look at Wedding Inspirations or our new Beautiful Weddings, a photographic celebration of truly gorgeous real weddings. With stunning photography and top styling, you'll find something to suit you here, whether your wedding will be in a grand city hotel or a quiet country church. Exploring the website is easy.
