Wedding Ideas announces the winners of The Wedding Awards 2008!

Wedding Ideas magazine, the UK’s number two bridal title has announced the winners of the third annual Wedding Awards. The winners have been selected by a panel of industry experts and were announced at a glamorous Awards ceremony at London’s Riverbank Park Plaza on Tuesday the 29th of January 2008 hosted by Ant and Dick – the infamous wedding stylists from Wedding TV.

The Wedding Awards are voted for by readers of Wedding Ideas. This year each category attracted hundreds of nominations and the Awards are much sought-after because of the real-life recommendation that leads to a nomination – these are people and businesses being recognised for their grasp of what customers want, and their understanding of this unique industry. Rachel Moschke, editor of Wedding Ideas magazine, says: "Around 200 people gathered for champagne and lunch to celebrate a very successful year for the magazine. It was great to meet so many wonderful people in the industry."
