| 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

| 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
