Organising a wedding is a tremendous feat of research, planning, military precision and shopping stamina.

The fact all this preparation focuses on one day intensifies the pressure to ensure every single detail is just perfect.

If you're currently in the throws of such an exercise, the good news is the wedding market has launched itself well and truly into the cyber age.

Let them take you by the hand and lead you through the pre-nuptial preparations towards wedded bliss!

Confetti.co.uk has it all. Real novices can get the lowdown on all the fundamentals, including different types of ceremony, music, readings, speeches, etiquette, traditions and so on.

There's advice on every possible aspect of organising a wedding, useful 'to do' lists, planning tools and an agony aunt for specific questions.

The venue search allows you to scour your area for the perfect location and you can plan your honeymoon through the travel planner.

There's a large fashion section offering advice for the whole wedding party, with an excellent bridal department full of stunning wedding dresses - some of which can be viewed from 360 degrees.

You'll also find contact details for a vast number of suppliers of all kinds in the 'Confetti Pages'.

Another great site is WebWedding, which, again, is jam-packed with all the advice you could possibly need.

Divided into four clearly labelled sections, WebWedding will take you step by step towards the big day.

'Be Inspired' is full of ideas, themes and real weddings, 'Get Organised' provides you with your personal interactive wedding planner, money advice and checklists, while 'Look Great' offers hair-and-beauty tips and a dress finder function.

'Go Shopping' contains details of 10,000 wedding companies across the country, a gift list service and links to buy wine, gifts, diamonds and honeymoons online.

WeddingGuideUK.com is the other major wedding site, with a simple format and stylish black-and-white photography.

There are two initial options 'Make It Happen' and 'Bride and Groom'.

The first includes a directory of 11,500 products and services and a gift list service. There's also the facility to buy a limited selection of items, such as CDs, cufflinks and photo frames.

'Bride and Groom' offers advice on a range of wedding topics and interactive forums.

Finally, for the coolest guide to a white wedding, take a look at coolwhite.com, with its stylish design and sophisticated images. The minimalist format means the site can be slow but it is full of useful advice.

The venues and suppliers featured are London-based but some will supply across the UK and it is worth a look - if only for inspiration!
