THE KM Wedding Extravaganza was the ideal place to pick out unusual ideas on how to make a couple's big day go off with a bang.

Among the stalls at the Hop Farm Country Park, in Paddock Wood, was Rocket Pyrotechnics - a firm which specialises in firework finales for wedding days.

The seven-minute display can be in your choice of colours - this season's fad is lilac - and can be designed to include all your favourite fireworks.

Other extravagant ideas on offer included having a Las Vegas-style casino, from Ace Fun Casino, at the wedding reception. Two tables featuring a roulette wheel, poker and blackjack tables would cost £400.

For an alternative to the normal reception disco, Simon Martin entertainment can provide a Tom Jones or Frank Sinatra look-a-like to sing at your party. He also takes pictures of the congregation throughout the day and projects them onto a big screen during the disco.

At the end of the event you can have up to four hours of wedding video and 2,500 pictures stored onto a DVD by Albumtek to provide the ultimate hi-tech memento for the family.
