| Get an A-list look... |
|
After watching countless of awards shows over the past few weeks we couldn't help but notice the number of celebs wearing stunning gowns that could easily be mistaken for wedding dresses.
So with that in mind, we thought we'd bring you the delights of the bridal collection from Kosibah Creations, who uses fabulous boned bodices, hand ruching and gorgeous delicate draping to channel that A-list look.
Kosibah Creations - whose real brides include Strictly judge Alesha Dixon - also designs beautiful evening wear, so it's worth your bridesmaids having a browse too.

| The great cover up |
|
While a tattoo may be something proudly shown off under ordinary circumstances, brides often like to cover up their body art on the big day. Laser treatment is a long-term solution, but anyone wanting a painless, quick fix solution might like to try out The Sher System under cover cream.
Available in five shades, the make-up is also suitable for use on the face to conceal redness, blemishes and under eye shadows. The cream costs £18 on www.sher.co.uk

| Go Wild for Wonderland |
|
Brides-to-be after an inventive look for their big day should check out Rose Garden Accessories new collection. The range is inspired by Tim Burton's eagerly awaited movie Alice in Wonderland, starring Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway. The signature piece is the Queen of Hearts Crown - a dramatic tiara with deep red Swarovski hearts and a gothic edge.
The less flamboyant will love the White Queen range which includes a choker, bracelet and earrings, all made with white pearls and crystals - perfect if you're after an elegant look. And why not let bridesmaids in on the fun too with the Wonderland Wild Flower hairpins? Available in ghostly white and hot red, they make a truly wonderful finish.

The collection oozes elegance and femininty, with pieces to complement almost any style of gown.

Plus, it's stretchy side panels create a figure-hugging effect that results in a smooth silhouette.
Also look out for Belle's balconette bras. With detachable straps they're ideal for strapless gowns and are available in up to a G cup. A sure fire way to look and feel every inch the gorgeous bride.

| Is Grace a winner? |
|
Grace Nash from Bromley was celebrating recently after being picked to appear on Living TV's series Four Weddings. The ultimate battle of the brides, Four Weddings pits contestants' big days against each other for the chance to win a luxury honeymoon.
Grace, who married husband Jonathan on 10th October last year says: "I saw the advert for contestants and I love watching the show, so I thought to myself 'why not enter?'
"At first I wondered what I had let myself in for, but then decided that as it would be the most wonderful day of my life, I wanted the whole world to share it with me.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the process, but judging other people's weddings was a real test for me, as I'm not normally so opinionated. I met some lovely people and got to travel a bit, which was a challenge for me as I would never normally travel on my own."
Grace's fellow contestants came from Manchester, Wigan and Dublin. "The other weddings were good fun, and all completely different, but we all had the weddings we wanted. I really enjoyed one of them in particular which had a Halloween theme. It was just different and fun, and all of her family and friends were lovely."
But to find out who claimed the honeymoon, you'll have to tune in.
