Have you just been given the rock? Or maybe you’re well into the planning stages for your big day? Either way, the National Wedding Show has everything you need for aisle style and reception perfection.

Taking place at London Olympia from 24-26 February and Birmingham NEC from 16-18 March 2012, the event is a must for your bridal to-do list. With more than 250 handpicked exhibitors from the best names in bridal under one roof, you can find your dream venue or flowers, taste scrumptious cakes, plan the honeymoon of a lifetime and swoon over bridal bling; it’s your very own one-stop wedding shop.

And when it comes to finding The Dress, you’ll be spoilt for designer choice, with the likes of Sassi Holford, Stephanie Allin, David Fielden, Claire Pettibone and Suzanne Neville, plus many more, flaunting the latest styles and trends from their collections in the Catwalk Show.

Once you’ve spotted a frock that rocks, head straight to the Designer and Boutique area of the London show to try it on (be still my sartorial heart!). Next, check out the How to Look Good Show to pick up secrets on perfecting your look from top fashion and beauty experts. Then, to feel fabulous inside and out, stop by the Bridal Coaching sessions and learn to radiate confidence as you prepare for your stroll up the aisle.

And if you're a vintage queen, you'll love the new area dedicated to all things cute, kitsch and retro. Experts in all things vintage, from stationery to venue styling and fashion and accessories, will be on hand to help you find those fabulous finishing touches and you can enjoy a quintessentially British afternoon tea in the vintage café.

Finally, after all that hard work planning, treat yourself to a glass of bubbly at the stylish Chambord & Champagne Bar. You’ve earned it!
