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.

| Talk of the town |

If you're scouring the capital for a stylish spot in which to celebrate your newlywed status, look no further. We've heard of a new venue on the wedding grapevine which opens its doors to a number of possibilities...
Located moments from Trafalgar Square, The Northumberland is home to three events spaces, each offering an eye-catching backdrop to reception parties.
First up is Boyd's Bar & Brasserie, a venue that oozes sleek lines, grand finishes and marble details, creating an oh-so-stylish setting for champagne and canapés, or a wedding breakfast. Alternatively, couples can go all out with a reception of up to 1,000 guests thanks to The Northumberland's new banqueting suites - the Ballroom and Old Billiard room. With high ceilings and vast space, they're the perfect canvases for a lavish day.

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.
