| It's show time |
|
For brides-to-be seeking inspiration for their big day, The National Wedding Show is a must-visit. The event kicks off at London's Earls Court from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th October and continues from the 9th to the 11th at the Birmingham NEC.
With over 300 exhibitors, the show has something for every eventuality, whether you're after ideas, the perfect dress, or a few finishing touches for the day. Plus, it has stunning catwalk shows guaranteed to wow, the Celebrations Bar - a glam spot for a glass of bubbly between shopping, and don't be surprised if you see a celebrity bride-to-be too (last year we spotted Denise Van Outen gown-hunting at Earls Court). A top notch event for cosmopolitan couples across the country.

| Once Upon a Time Tiaras |
|
Classic tiaras are as popular as ever, but Tracy Rees of Southampton-based Once Upon a Time Tiaras has seen an increase in the number of brides looking for something different. "Many of my clients are seeking a really creative look, either with a bespoke tiara or fascinator or more recently, hair vines which can be worked into the bride's hairstyle to create a stunning look."
Tracy also points out that brides "really enjoy being able to talk with the designer who will be making their items, rather than taking a chance on mass-produced accessories. The choice of colour in crystals, pearls and semi-precious stones is vast, so we can always find something to tie in with the bride's theme. An orange and fuchsia combination was a popular choice last season, with teal emerging as a favoured colour this year."
Once Upon a Time Tiaras accessories are available at a number of leading bridal retailers in and around Southampton. For more information, call 02380 871 627 or visit www.onceuponatimetiaras.co.uk
