You have a lot of choices.  There are SMT LED's down to at least 0603 (1.6mm
x 0.8mm)size that are still really bright and resistors down to 0402 size
(1mm long by 0.5mm wide) but you have to watch the power dissipation to size
the resistor properly.  There are also LED's with the dropping resistor
built into the moulding itself.

Check Digikey (www.digikey.com) for some listings.

Here are some with integrated dropping resistors
