Your wedding
preparations
simply will not be
complete without the
procurement of at least
one of these big dayrelated
gadgets.
70 I JUNE/JULY 2013
Words John Waddington
Veho Qudo Digital Photo Album
Here’s a great way to store and display
all those precious Wedding Day pics. The
Veho Qudo eight-inch digital photo album
has 2GB of internal memory, allowing you
to store up to 2,000 photos, and has an
SD card slot allowing you to expand the
memory by a further 16GB. That’s a total
of around 20,000 images. Looking through
that lot would certainly keep you busy
when you get back from your honeymoon!
£99.95, veho-uk.com
Tulip Corkscrew
All the little costs of a wedding can start to add up, so
here’s a real money-saver. This tulip corkscrew can double
up as a floral centrepiece for your tables and a contraption
to extract those pesky corks from your bottle of wine.
Real flowers may be fragile but this corkscrew is rugged
enough to use on the toughest corks. Simply screw the
tulip stem into your cork and press down on the four petals
to easily prise the cork from the bottle.
£9.24, amazon.co.uk
Boots Essentials single-use camera
Yes, Yes, I know everyone has a camera
on their phone/wristwatch these days, and
disposable cameras might seem terribly
old-fashioned, but that’s part of the charm.
How about giving one of these to each one
of your wedding guests and asking them to
return the little plastic snappers at the end of
the night. Hey presto: an instant album full of
totally fun and unexpected friend-generated
pics. £7.50, Boots
Apple iPod Touch
Of course you will need to have some
incidental music ready on the big day to
fill the awkward silences between the
speeches, and what better device to utilise
than the new iPod Touch. Ultra-slim and
ultra-lightweight, it won’t make too much of
a bulge under your dress/suit and features a
super sleek and crystal clear four-inch retina
display. It also serves as a back-up if your
DJ lets you down. £329, Apple
USB Cuff links
Introducing the perfect pair of cuff links
for your special day. These natty little cuff
links are not only personally engravable,
but feature fully functional 2GB USB drives
making it possible for you to keep all those
wedding snaps safe and get them uploaded
to Facebook before the honeymoon has
even begun. Not to mention a safe place to
keep an electronic copy of that all-important
speech! £65, cufflinks.com
Palm Z22 Handheld PDA
On the run-up to the big day, if there’s
one thing you need to be, it’s organised.
From arranging the flowers to booking your
romantic wedding night hotel, there are
a hundred and one things that you could
forget. That’s where the Palm Z22 handheld
PDA comes in. It’s an electronic organiser
that will let you keep track of everything
smoothly and efficiently. Phew!
