It's official people. The wedding season is upon us. And if you've got a whole host of wedding fairs lined up, make sure the Celtic Manor Resort is one that is top of your list.

There will also be catwalk shows throughout the day and brides-to-be can watch make-up demonstrations from the award-winning Forum Spa and seek advice from professional salon Rhys Giles about their beauty routine for the big day.

| 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.

| Bridal Belles |
|
After gorgeous lingerie for the big day? We've discovered a new luxury range from Charnos, that will ensure your underwear is as beautiful as your beloved bridal gown. The renowned lingerie label has revealed 'Belle', a new bridal line for spring/summer 2010.
The collection oozes elegance and femininty, with pieces to complement almost any style of gown. We love the Belle basque, a vintage stretch satin design with a delicate lace overlay that's embellished with crystal beading, ribbons and tiny sequins. 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.
Prices range from £16 to £56. Visit www.charnos.co.uk

| Tea Time for Hens |

If you're planning a hen party this month we've discovered a way to have a fabulous girlie get together and raise money for charity too. The Helen Rollason Cancer Charity has launched Tea for Helen, a month long campaign that will see women across the country pour tea and indulge in cupcakes whilst being sponsored for the pleasure.
Community relations manager Angela Lodge says: "The tea parties can be as big or small as you like. Whether you raise £10 or £100 every penny will really make a difference to someone living with cancer. Enjoy a cuppa and raise funds for us!" What better excuse for a brew?
To host a bridal tea party, register your chosen date with the Helen Rollason fundraising team and receive a Tea for Helen pack. Contact 01245 514325 or e-mail angela.lodge@helenrollason.org.uk.
