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.

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.
